Tim D Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Hi Everyone I recently traded in my 2016 A7 for a 2021 Audi S7. So far so good but noticed the wiper blades need changing. The jets come out the arm on the S7 rather than out the front on my old A7. So I went onto Halfords.com put in my number plate. The new blades arrived and they aren't compatible, none of the adaptors fit and the body of the blade is too wide/long to fit. Took them to the store, showed their technician the existing ones and their technician says they don't sell those type of blades at all so their website is wrong! Same issue with another retailer. Asked my local VWAudi specialist garage who said they can source a pair from TPS for £95! Can anyone point me in the right direction please or is this my best (expensive) option?

Magnet Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Welcome Tim, and thanks for joining. Washer jets at arms can be a bit of an aftermarket problem area. I tend to deal with Parts in Motion at Exeter - worth giving them a ring and talking it through - they are generally very helpful. I’ve had a similar issue with a non-Audi, but found a pair of Bosch Aero -twin? could be fitted. O.E could have been Valeo, so worth an investigation on that front too-? Let us know how you get on Tim. Kind regards, Gareth.
