The arms and the blades.
In germany:
Arms - 40 bucks
blades - 40 bucks
If you need more info just E-Mail me !
In germany a lot of people change their old wipers to the passat ones. Some of them take the wipers of the A4 cabrio. But they are bull****, don't take them !!! I work in the development for wipers. I tested the A4 cabrio wipers.

No, I would say it's the same. I only changed it because of the look.
