I've had several sets of the Bosch now and can recommend. I did try a set of Valeo and they were rubbish, replaced them after a couple of months. Can't remember which model they were though.

My Halfords/bosch blades lasted 12 months/20,000 miles before being consigned to the bin & switching back to Volvo ones.

As I cannot think that Volvo make wiper blades it would be good to know where they get them from as £35 from Volvopartshop for Volvo branded seems to be very expensive against ebay £22.
I shudder to think what dealers charge. |

So as I always say You do get what you pay for ..and it is cheaper in the long run , the wiper blades for example last around 3 times longer ... Citroen wiper blades are considerably more expensive than volvo ones ,

I don't think dealers charge that much more, also £35 for 3 years v £22 for 1 works out cheaper anyway.

Having said that I agree that there are dodgy components with obscure brand names around. |
