Default Bosch Aerotwin Wipers - small Project - std on the ******* Wagon, but fit the S4

I really like the Passat's wipers, today, I found out, through a Dutch Audi site, that these wipers do also fit on teh B5 model......You do need however, to replace the arms on your windshield wipers.

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/39327/bosch2.jpg">

The wiper arms that fit the B5 Models are from teh 2003 W8 Passat

3B1 955 409 C Arm left
3B1 955 410 C Arm right
3B1 955 426 A Blade right
1J1 955 425 A Blade right

Total about $90 orso..however,

With the huge amount of rain we've been getting, I thought I might as welllook into this..

Default The blade replacements would be thru who - a VW dealer ? Cost?

BTW standard Bosch wiper inserts are sorry imho - Have much better luck with Trico Teflon coated blades in terms of effectiveness and durability

Default Just so you guys know...

These wipers are amazing. Had these for 2 years on my GTI and they were the best $115.00 I ever spent on that car.
