    I need a new set of wiper blades for a 2001 Audi TT. It seems like less than a year since I replaced mine but already they have gone kinda hard and are creaking and streaking across the window. Fairly sure I got Bosch last time. Mine are not the normal type – they have a different fitting and they are the blade type.

    Had a quick look online on Halfords and micksgarage. Is €30-€40 normal for a set of two for the front? I found some cheaper on ebay but it is a waste of money?

    What do you guys recommend?
    Thanks

    Try cleaning them with vinegar and a rag.

    I paid €40 for Hellas (civic) so I'd say that's normal.
    Aldi were doing flat blades a few months back for around €12, got them for the mothers car and they're still grand.
    Got flat blades in tesco before and they were grand too.

    Ironically, despite having less parts, I've found the blade type to be more expensive than the older framed ones.

    But to be fair they are infinitely better and longer lasting too.
