Wiper blades

[Lakes_Puma]

My Cali is only just over 6 month old and is not a daily driver, yet the wiper blades are already squeaking and juddering, any one else had this, are they just poor quality blades from the factory?

Never had an issue. The factory fit are good quality, Bosch if I recall (CBA going to check mine). There are usually a number of other reasons they might judder that might be worth a look. Lack of use being one.

Had the same issue with mine. I was forewarned by this forum, so dumped them after a couple of months and fitted Bosch Aerotwin much better upgrade.

I think I will change mine. It is a daily driver but wipers do seem to judder a bit. Just need to remember how to put the wiper arms in the service position from the infotainment system.

Common on new VAG vehicles - the stock blades are terrible - I changed the ones on my Karoq pretty quickly, only 3 weeks into the T7 Beach so not at that stage yet!

I use Bosch Aerotwin on my Cali... and my Karoq! Just been advised by Skoda garage who are servicing the Karoq it needs new wiper blades as they are smearing, ...a snip at £74 (I think not!).

Change them for Bosch aerotwin - solved . My new t6.1 had same issue - use good quality screen wash always

The OP was referring to the new T7 Multivan California.
I can't find any Bosch Aerotwin blades for this vehicle, even on the Bosch site.

We just got the Bosch wipers for our T6.1 at Europarts store in Southampton. OK, not helpful for a T7 necessarily but Halford were less than helpful as they advised us to buy blades that were never going to fit!
Not sure why we bothered going there really!
Tanya worked out £3 cheaper but we could fit them ourselves outside Europarts and know they were the correct items.
