Also which bosch aerotwin do i buy? Im on the bosch website and they got so many versions on the pdf catalogue? Which one do I get and what size?
In their catalogue what does retrofit mean and what adapters do i need or do they come with the wipers?

#3: Re: How to change windscreen wipers to Bosch Aerotwin? Author: Dillon, Location: KentPosted: Thu Jul 05, 2012 5:53 pm ---- Ar530s. As Matt said 21" there are instructions on the box

There fine so far, only been on about 3 months, not as easy to fit as the Bosch ones
After 3 sets of Bosch I fancied a change.

You want a vid to change wiper blades?
If you can't change a wiper blade you have no hope owning a French car lol,
On a serious note look on YouTube

Used them on the old fiesta and the pug, never failed me once!
The old set lasted me until I wrote off the fiesta and i've had the ones on the 206 for about 8 months now, they're just the same as when i put them on

Different linkages on the early models mean different wiper blade lengths.
As for fitting it is a straight forward 30 second job. No tools required. Unclip the old one from the wiper arm and put the new one in its place. It's easier than changing a bulb, although some people make a meal out of that too.

Using the wiper service position on the multiplexed 206 makes it even easier
#16: Re: How to change windscreen wipers to Bosch Aerotwin? Author: crocdino, Location: LeedsPosted: Fri Jul 06, 2012 5:31 am ---- Buy Valeo Xtrm. Best wipers i've ever used.
Got mine off ebay in a listing for 206. 2x22"
The rubber is slimmer than the Bosch ones so look better on the car.

#18: Re: How to change windscreen wipers to Bosch Aerotwin? Author: very_452001, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 12:51 pm ---- i know how to fit the new ones but how do you take off the old ones lol.

#19: Re: How to change windscreen wipers to Bosch Aerotwin? Author: Matt, Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 1:10 pm ---- Jesus Christ man.
Go an have a look. It's really not that difficult!
#20: Re: How to change windscreen wipers to Bosch Aerotwin? Author: very_452001, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 2:05 pm ---- ok i got the blades replaced. No need for applause
I notice that 90% of driver side lenth of the bosch blade is making contact with the windscreen which means that 10% isnt.
These bosch AR530S aerotwins, are both of these blades exactly the same or is one blade specific to passenger side, driver side etc.? there's no indication in the instructions.
#21: Re: How to change windscreen wipers to Bosch Aerotwin? Author: very_452001, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sat Jul 14, 2012 3:54 am ---- Anyone? I got my mot coming up on Tuesday and worry that the probably above might cause a mot failure.
Anyone got these blades and having same issue as me?
#22: Re: How to change windscreen wipers to Bosch Aerotwin? Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Sat Jul 14, 2012 3:55 am ---- It is not a MOT fail. They are perfectly fine.
#23: Re: How to change windscreen wipers to Bosch Aerotwin? Author: clark_me_dead, Location: AustraliaPosted: Thu Feb 14, 2013 4:42 am ---- Guys,
I purchased Bosch aerotwins - 22" AR22U.
Having used aerotwin's before, I knew how great they would be over the standard wipers.
Got a massive problem with wiper chatter!! It's driving me mad....I've polished the windshield with little improvement.
