I just picked up my new superb estate SE L Iv on Friday. I hadn’t been able to identify a rear wiper in the spec but there is indeed one fitted im happy to say. I agree with Coral-C that, for me, also, it is an essential item and under uk motorway winter conditions I used it all the time. I replaced the OEM front wipers with the Bosch ones and although haven’t tested them in the ongoing desert conditions of southern England yet, I could tell just by comparing them that they are more robust and better quality than the ones that came with the car. So far, I’m loving the new car. Still fiddling incessantly with settings but am getting well over 110 mpg in the short time I’ve been on the road, with a couple of hours of motorway driving and a few city low speed electric trips. The seats are great and the thigh support makes a big difference as well as the massage seat features. I’ve got a 3.5 hr drive next week and I’m really looking forward to it:) Thanks to the helpful suggestions I’ve already received from other members of Briskoda.

Many thanks for your reply. I have ordered a pair of the compatible Bosch ones from Amazon. I’ll keep them in reserve and see how the OEM ones perform to start with. I don’t think my new model actually has a rear wiper at all, from what I can see of the spec, which is a shame, as it helps visibility in very wet motorway driving. On the plus side, it does tend to give the dog a bit of a jump scare if travelling in the boot on the old one, as it makes a racket when it first wipes the rear screen🫣.

Thanks! I’ll probably give Amazon a go👍🏼

I’m taking delivery of my new superb estate SE L Iv next week. I may just go ahead and get some replacement Bosch wipers as a backup based on all the wiper complaints I’m reading. Any recommendations as to where to order them from? I’m in London, UK. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a 2016 Superb Estate SEL Executive and definitely received warnings when the fob battery was running low. Haven’t had to replace it more than s couple of times over the last ten years but am a fairly low mileage driver.
