Bought some 6 weeks ago from www.wiperblades.co.uk for £26 delivered (next day too). They are excellent - just the same as the aero wiper and much better than standard blades as they don't lift off the windscreen at speed.

Also, it's much cheaper than buying the aero wiper arms and blades!

I payed £16 including delivery from ebay..(as there were cheap i thought i would give them a go!)

- Below is the link to them..

There have not arrived as yet... ordered them on Wednesday... the user has sent me a mail to inform me that these have been dispacthed..

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...5842&rd=1&rd=1

one thing to add... dis-regard the year of Audi these are advertised for... the fitting is the same, its the lenght of -

1 X 21" DRIVER SIDE
1 X 21" PASSENGER SIDE - which you require for the B6 shape..

Once i get them i will drop a post with a review and let you all know the outcome..

Its time to change my wipers. Rick, any news on your Aero-types?

**nickynibbles** · 10-05-2007,08:05 PM

There are indeed different fittings so be careful folks! Looked last year when I first bought my '02 3.0 quattro. The Aero blades will only fit on later model B6's as Audi changed the wiper arm mounting to fit them. Earlier model B6's are stuck with either changing the wiper arm to the later spec (which isnt cheap!) or buying Audi originals (again not cheap but cheaper than new wiper arms!!). Had Camberley Auto Factors look into it for me & they came back saying that no one they used as suppliers made an aftermarket wiper blade for the earlier B6, which sucked! Before ordering from somewhere that isnt easy to get a refund from, suggest you take a trip to Halfords, buy a set of blades & see if they fit. If they do, go back in the shop for a refund & buy them somewhere cheaper. If they dont fit, go back in the shop for a refund & save up for a newer car so you can fit the Aero wiper blades to it!!!! Me, im sticking with Audi replacements, they cost a packet but how often do you plan on changing them?!

A4 1.9TDI 2003. Is this a later B6 model? I'm guessing it is. So in theory I could replace the existing standard ones with the new Aero types bought from Audi or Halfords?

The manual says that the wiper blades should be changed twice a year.
