Wiper blades

[chris1.6]

Hi,

Does anyone know what size wiper blades i need for the front windscreen on a 2003 Ibiza 1.9 TDi Sport? I've just bought it and i'm pretty sure the ones on there at the moment are the wrong size for the car.

a 19'' and a 21'' i think, off the top of my head

yeah, seems to be about right. i think it was just because they're cheap blades. i swapped them for the same size bosch ones off my mk3 and they seem to fit a lot better

yep thats spot on.

got my replacements from of all places LIDL

didnt expect much for £2.99 a pair but they have been great,no jumping no screeching really smooth and clear the water well

the ones off my mk3 are pretty much new i think, so they'll do for the time being. i'm gonna be selling the mk3 so it doesn't matter too much if it has older ones on there

19 and 21" i got a set of bosh ones for £15 but putting the old ones back on when i sell the car

I use the Bosch aero style ones, about £25 from WiperBlades.co.uk - They're brilliant.

They are indeed. The ones which have the weight in the drivers one. I think you might be able to get them cheaper than £25 if mine are the aero ones.....

Chris,
21" drivers side with spoiler and 19" curved one for passenger.
These are what were fitted from the factory, the curved passenger one is not that common but is curved so it sits on the window better.
The later type ones are the Aero type, not sure if you would need new arms though if you upgrade

Oh and bosch ones are oem, and some are valeo. Both are available in correct spec (bosch are better, see auto express latest review)
