Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Wiper blades

    Not sure if i've been had, or if VW wiper blades are particularly 'special', but just had a service yesterday & checked my invoice this morning. Everything else seemed about right, but $90 for the front wiper blades??? Even $24.50 for the rear seems steep...

    Normal price.

    You have to replace the whole thing, not just the rubber insert on the Tiguan. They're $45 per side.

    The rear is the same deal.

    You do get what you pay for, in my opinion. I've tried the non-genuine offerings out there, and most of them are just rubbish, or require some form of modification to fit.

      Thanks for that, mate!
      If that's the going price, then i won't dispute it. But i thought i may be paying for a typo...

        yeah I've seen them for more then that from a dealer/vw part. standard sort of price
        While Umai Naa!! is probably right in you get what you pay for, I have been running cheapo ebay ones on my GFs car (both cars actually), mums car, and my car for a while now and everyone is happy with them. Dad has the genuine VW items on the passat and agrees there is next to no difference between the $20 posted ebay ones and the $90 vw ones.
