I've tried these two models and both are great
Bosch code is A298S - set 600mm(24") + 500mm(20")
Valeo code is VM362 - set 600mm(24") + 500mm(20")

I've tried dozens of styles/brands over the years and used to run winter and summer wipers on all my vehicles as well. They're all junk - they either chatter, streak, freeze up, wear out quickly, crack, become less effective with speed or even lift off the glass, whistle, etc., etc. I only buy OEM now from the dealer and change them out annually. They cost a fortune but you get what you pay for. There must be a ton of R&D and testing that goes on with vehicle-specific OEM wipers.

My Q will be one on November 29 2012 and the original wiper blades are still on it and working flawlessly. It is not garaged at all and the blades may even make it through another winter! When it comes time to replace them, I will absolutely put on OEM wiper blades.

Audi does not produce wiper.
Valeo wipers are coming as OEM on Audi vehicles

VALEO -- O.E. = Original Equipment
