as were approaching rain season and one of my windscreen wipers has split i should replace it asap.

just wondering what everyone is using as per best as clearing water, not smearing etc.

if this topic has been covered could someone point me in the direction of the thread and i shall leave you all to bicker about fuel prices.

Bosch Aerotwins. Fitted by the previous owner, but when they're shot I'll be buying another set. They're really very good.

Bosch for me too - bought from Halfords, as with a trade card, I can get them for £6.99 a pair, instead of £16.99 or thereabouts. The other plus to having a trade card - they never offer you their ridiculously overpriced fitting service. (I noticed they now do a "fitting" service for screenwash - only 99p!)

Bosch Aerotwins. Very quiet, no smears etc.

However they do miss a bit here and there at the edges. I can live with that - mostly over the rear view mirror area as the curvature of the glass changes.

I'll buy them again.

Bosch Super Plus on the E30.

Bosch Aerotwins on the E36.

Not sure if they also do an aerotwin retrofit kit for the E30, but tbh, wouldn't look right.

PIAA Silicone wipers are the best bar none - but they're pricey.

Yes they do. Offered to me on Friday afternoon when I picked up a set for my mum's Corsa. Can you believe how daft that is!!

I use Bosch too - Super Plus.

These are Valeo, and pretty decent.

Bosch Aerotwin is what the Audi will get when her current set wear out, though, outstanding blades.

Should be. Certainly were on the E36.

Have Bosch Aerotwins on my Clio and can only echo others' comments - they're excellent.
