The Bosch AeroTwins are briliant. :)

You got 2 options... You can either use the speciel wiperarms and -blades from the Lupo GTI or the blades made to fit the original arms.

I had a Golf 3 before my Polo GTI, and had special arms and blades from the Passat 3BG on it, but on my Polo i use original arms with Boasch AeroTwin blades on them...

They work just as well as the speciel ones, ane a hell of a lot better than normal wiperblades.

i bought those and on my screen it makes a horrendous screechin, the opriginals did not. also it said to buy 21" for driver and 19" for passenger but the driver one on the upswing is too long and hoits the a pillar.

Get the VW Aerotwin ones from the dealer. They are made by bosch and are cheaper too.

Part number is

6N2 998 002

were did you get yours from mate wiperblades.co.uk by any chance there's some kind of error there you have to click mark 4 for the 00-02 6n2's for some reason luckily i knew there both 19 inch but they work fine on mine www.wiperblades.co.uk are decent if you want some aeroblades universal or whatever.
