stevemac 0 Posted July 25, 2004 The VW dealership said they dont sell them together and what i got was correct. They're talking crap m8 - ALL VW dealers can get the arm & blade as a kit under 1 part number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pat_McCrotch 0 Posted July 25, 2004 I have Aero wipers on my Polo and i've found that they last much longer when you use Genuine VAG Screenwash, sounds mad but its true. Part number for a litre bottle is G 052 164 A2 Cheers Neil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted July 26, 2004 I have Aero wipers on my Polo and i've found that they last much longer when you use Genuine VAG Screenwash, sounds mad but its true. Yeah, thats becuase it doesn't have as high an Alcohol content as other brands... will be more friendly to your window seals as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M15 VW 0 Posted July 31, 2004 Ive just called the vw dealership to see where my lupo wipers are and he said that they are on back order and if a replacement part number doesnt come up on his computer by the end of next week then they probably wont get any in that fit the rado. Apparently the new ones dont fit. Can anybody get hold of a pair for me ? I will pay any which way u want :) HELP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted August 3, 2004 Ok I called Sheppards today and they'll get them in by Thursday. They should be £19.40 inc VAT, so I'll PM you and we can work out payment/collection/delivery :) Edit: £19.40 each, not total Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gman 0 Posted August 4, 2004 Hey are the lupo GTI wipers not exactly the same as the polo wipers ?? Do you think the Bentley CGT wipers will fit the rado. G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted August 4, 2004 I seem to remember that they are VERY similar, but the mounting point on the blade is in a very slightly different place on them so they may foul on the outside of the screen... The reason everyone uses the Lupo ones is 'cos the Lupo GTI was the first to get this style of blade out of the VAG range which were anywhere near close... now that they're fitting them to most of their cars (and not just the GTIs) there's probably an even better solution out there... 8) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted August 4, 2004 Hey are the lupo GTI wipers not exactly the same as the polo wipers ?? Do you think the Bentley CGT wipers will fit the rado. As far as I know the Lupo ones are the only ones small enough, I've looked at new Polo's and Golfs and there too long... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gman 0 Posted August 4, 2004 Ok Cool thanks for that. will need to find some sometime soon. Do you know about TT wippers. the TT has quite a small screen. Will have to have a look the next time i am at home (dad has a TT). G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted August 4, 2004 They might do - i think Graham at Stealth used the TT ones on his G60 but the Lupo ones work fine and are cheap, I'd just stick with a pair of those... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dancing Fish 0 Posted August 6, 2004 I have a 16v. I am not sure if the various versions of C or indeed each C has slightly different size screens, but I fitted the wipers this morning in 10 mins before work and they fit perfectly. There is a clearance of approximately 1 inch at the top near the roof, and there is no probs on either pillar. I got two drivers side arms and wipers (code: 6X2998406. Cost £40.80 inc VAT the pair). I dont understand the cleaning them point. I had them up when i was fitting them but my bonnet was open. Worst case scenario undo the bolt, take it completely off, clean windscreen, put back on, approx time 2 mins. I have not done big speeds yet so dont know what they are like at high speed, but im pretty sure they is enough room to amend the fitting to counter the problems suggested. And they look cool. And VW is putting them all over their new cars, so there must be a reason to do that right? DF. Additional - Sorry if this seems out of sync - i replied to page 1 not 14!!!! Either way, given the tremendously confusing plethora of codes and opinions, one more wont rock the boat too much. Additional additional - has someone drawn all over the car on the top left. I am sure it didnt look like that yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The extra blade is actually a passenger side one. You still need 2x driver's side arms but the passenger blade gives a slightly better fit than 2x drivers side ones.

G60Jet 1 Posted October 26, 2004 to add another twist to the lupo blades thread, i replaced my lupo ones today with slighly longer polo ones, i had to bend the arm a slight bit to get an even pressure on the screen, but they are even better than the lupo ones. my lupo ones did smear a little even from new. The polo blades i've put on are bosch ones not from VW btw. i paid €24.00 for the pair inc tax Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKA-Andrew 0 Posted November 20, 2004 To pi*s into the wind i did things a little different I was told the wrong thing and got two passanger side Lupo GTi arms and blades. I have a vento vr6 and it has actually worked out really well. Fair engough you have to watch how you lift the arm as it hits the bonnet but i think it looks nicer as they are more hidden under the bonnet, http://tinypic.com/ddwti http://tinypic.com/ddwtt http://tinypic.com/ddwtl http://tinypic.com/ddwtx You can still lift them up and get under for cleaning etc there is more than enougth room for that. The easiest was to change the blades is to open the bonnet then lift the blades and change them when the bonnet is open, its a hassle but at least i know my blades aren't going to get nicked all the time when this mods reachs the chav community.

daveh 0 Posted November 20, 2004 Just done this mod - what a difference - thanks guys. Used parts... 2x 6x2998406 Wiper arm and blade 1x 1J2955425A Driver side blade With no problems ordering from the local dealer. Even ordered an extra 1J2955425A so now I have a spare set :wink: .

kebabman 0 Posted November 20, 2004 Just done this, used slightly different parts to everyone else so thought I'd report my findings. I bought 1x 6x2998406 and 1x 6x2998405, so that's a passenger and a drivers side arm + blade. Cost £40.79 inc VAT purchased from VW Motorworld, Kidlington, and were a straight swap, passenger side blade doesn't catch as all. Very pleased with the results 100% improvement! Cheers for the advice lads 8) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burnout 0 Posted December 10, 2004 I have just been on the phone to my local stealership, and the part numbers listed above are no longer in use. They hae been replaced with:- 6x2955410A ... Wiper Arm £16.50 +vat 6x2998406.......Wiper Arm £17.27 +vat 6NO955425A....Blade £8.04 +vat 6X2955426.......Driver's side Blade £10.54 +vat Which makes things a bit more expencive :( , has anybody done it with these bits? And, why is it only the Lupo GTI, and not the ordinary Polo ones? Ok, I'm a new member/owner, I went to page 8. So you guys are saying these are the definate PNs then? So which arm goes which side? I hope this reply ends up on the 1st page for us newbies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
