2005 V50 wiper blades
I'm after a set of Bosch wiper blades for my 2005 V50. Halfords want £40, get them on the internet at £23 delivered. There is a change over period from 05/05! This is not shown on the Halfords website, but is on the alternative suppliers site.Bosch A310S or AM980S?
So not sure which blades to get, any thoughts on this people? |

Windscreen wipers direct charged just over £28 delivered for Bosch front and rear wipers. Halfrauds indeed!

The Bosch ones look awful. The mount they provide is about the size of a Funsize Mars bar and they look dreadful by comparison to OEM. I'd recommend Valeo Silencio ones from Euro Car Parts which are identical to the Volvo OEM ones:
http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Vo...beb0e2a&000604 They aren't universal and are designed to fit perfectly the arm attachment. £25ish.

I went to my parts factor for a replacement for my V50 rear wiper and they didn't list it!
The guy reckons the rear wiper is a dealer only part. Is this correct? SC |

No they aren't correct. The rear V50 wiper is an old skool standard wiper blade.
Bosch rear blade here - £5 Valeo older style connector fronts here - £26 Valeo newer style connector fronts here - £26 The pictures on the ECP website do accurately show the connector type. From experience the Valeo ones are every bit as good as OEM and I'd be surprised if they aren't in fact the OEM supplier to Volvo.

Suspect about 2007 but couldn't say exactly.

2005 uses aero blades on the front.
Ebay ones are fine. £10. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volvo-S40-...TgxQeIUwKP0Low |
