May be on Trade Club from VX dealer ?

Any good?

I've seen these fitted on new VW's (didn't know they were available for Vauxhalls yet) and having driven a couple of our company VW Golfs fitted with these blades, I can tell you they are very good - very quiet and really clear the screen well. If the VX one's are as good I'll definitely be getting a pair myself.

You can get retrofit ones, I have been thinking about getting some.

The normal Vx ones are very good and quiet, but still need to be replaced at least annually....

The vx dealers do sell them......i picked up a leaflet about them last time i was at dealer, the leaflet listed they fit quite a few models but no mention of the omega......i asked the parts guy who didnt have a clue wether they would fit an omega

I saw them last night & was wondering the same thing, think I'll give 'em a go, I hate my wipers smearing....

I think its recommended to change them every 6 months. On average in th UK they get changed every 2 years I read somewhere.

I put new blades on mine about 3 months ago and they are squeaking/vibrating like mad already.

Ok  - they must remove tram oil, salt & sand. What about a crack?

[Bo Bo]

I asked the guy what sizes he'll send & this was his reply

HI . 1 IS DEFINITELY 19 AND THE OTHER IS EITHER 23 OR 24 , I CANT REMEMBER EXACTLY . THEY ARE THE GENUINE VAUXHALL FLATBLADES THAT ARE CORRECT FOR OMEGAS OR VECTRAS (EXACTLY THE SAME SIZE BLADES).YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED . REGARDS

Thanks Bo Bo  

I'll see if I can get a Vx price  on sat or even a Trade Club price





Note: to Vx: If you read this I like your spare's [well most of them] please can member's

Let us know what you come up with, I'm interested in trying these out..........

[sounds2k]

well to put the pricing into context, a set of Bosch "normal" wipers are 24" and 19" for the fronts, and cost £7.50 at Halfrauds if you have a trade card, I think £18.99 is the full retail price ...
