Put in maintenance mode and really gave it some welly.
-
Wouldn't go in at all. The triangular bit went in and no further. Skoda just slid straight in.
-
These are the wipers I received. In the comparison image, the two similar are the Bosch. The top one is Skoda.
-
No, I had the same Bosch reference from Kwik Fit, National, and the Bosch website, searching both by model and by Reg No. Then I bought from Amazon and their checker agreed.

Bought from Amazon.

Chattering madly instead of wiping. New ones are fine.
-
Just wouldnt go on. Clip is of similar design but with several differences. Skoda ones just slotted straight in.

I needed to replace my wipers (2020 Superb iV L&K)and a search on every site I could find, searching by model and Reg No gave the same result. All said the front blades for Mk 3 from2015 to present were the same (Bosch A864S or equivalent), so I bought a set for just under £20. They didnt fit. I went to my local dealer and they looked on their system to find my wipers were a different part number to a 2016 model and took over £50 for a set that worked. When I said they seemed really expensive, the reply was " Yes they are. Difference is that these ones fit"

My previous Superb was a "Director's personal car" which had been used "only for commuting". I negotiated an extra discount when I showed them the Youtube video of the car being tested by a journalist with "Press Office" on the number plate.

Bought from Marshalls, Northampton who said it was the Finance Manager's car. Marshalls in Bedford did the service. May be a tax scam, but list was £42k (I'm hit by the "luxury" rate of VED) and I paid £29.5k.

Sorry. Didn't explain. It was a Skoda manager's company car. I bought it with 7800 on the clock. I've only added 1100 miles in the time I've had it.
-
Only had the car since end of August, so no rotation.
-
That's why I was concerned at the low mileage achieved. I normally change at 3mm and after only 8900 miles we're nearly there. Fortunately, I got an offer of 15% discount on 4 tyres, so will be swapping them for Crossclimate 2 in a few days.

I'm a 73 yr old with Rospa Gold and IAM. I don't punish my tyres. However, I'm the second user and the first was a Skoda manager, who put on 7k of the miles, and I've no idea how he drove.

Centre is 3.6. Edges are 4.5 on both front tyres. I asked the engineer if it was over-inflation and he said that it wasn't and was normal wear. I think I'll skip rotating the tyres as I used to have Winter/Summer wheels and more recently Crossclimates. I can't remember the last time I went through the Winter on Summer tyres. (At least 20 years), so I'll just bin them before the end of Nov, and go Crossclimate 2.
