| Wiper sizes (Replacement) |
|
Hello,
I want to change my wipers myself.(Figured out how to remove them after a couple of minutes fiddling with it) But I am thinking of buying "Bosch Aerotwin" but I don't know the sizes.(Couldn't see in owners handbook).
Can you tell me the sizes for Disco 3 tdv6 2008 please. (Windscreen and rear)
Regards

Bosch AR550s 21and 22inch (one of each). Cant help with rear, always swap old blade from front to rear screen and shorten to appropriate length

Bosch Aerotwins are the best wipers I have ever used - smear free and last for ages. Dec 04 TDV6 HSE in Tonga green with Alpaca interior.

Valeo Silencio X-TRM Flat Blade UM665 are the best replacements by a mile

I used Valeo on my Touran and they were ok but only lasted 12 months. The Bosch have lasted more than 2 years so far and no sign of wear yet. Might be something to do with the wifes driving though - she used the Touran a lot more than me  Dec 04 TDV6 HSE in Tonga green with Alpaca interior.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I have replaced windscreen wipers with bosh aerotwins and they are very good.
One problem though. I couldn't find fit the rear replacement wiper. There is a stylish case outside of the rear wiper arm and the aerotwin won't fit unless I remove the casing.
Anybody experienced that ?

Why are the bosch replacements 21 and 22 ?
I realized that mine are also the same size on both sides.
Will this make any significant difference ?
If so I will ask Bosch for the same size for both sides.

Doesn't make any difference, just a marginally larger area swept on passenger side. I've just fitted the Bosch Aerotwins and am very happy Dec 04 TDV6 HSE in Tonga green with Alpaca interior.
