Buy the wiper blades mentioned in this video (Bosch Aerotwin A102S’s): - Amazon ~$35 (affiliate link): amzn.to/3pIypq5 - FCP Euro ($25 + shipping): www.fcpeuro.com/products/audi-vw-wiper-blade-set-bosch-8v1998002a Thanks for watching!
Hmm.. it's also not totally clear to me if I add a RS3 to my "Amazon garage" if these wipers fit. But I do see on the third image at amzn.to/3pIypq5 that the 2017+ RS3 is listed. Additionally, you'll see on that Amazon page under "Technical Details" a item model number of 3397014116. You can confirm that fits by finding the same number via FCP Euro: www.fcpeuro.com/products/audi-vw-wiper-blade-set-bosch-8v1998002a#fitment. You can then take the OE number of 8V1998002A from FCP Euro and validate that at Audi's website: parts.audiusa.com/p/audi__/Windshield-Wiper-Blade/52385691/8V1998002A.html" TLDR: It will fit your 2018 RS3. Awesome car. If for some reason it does not, Amazon has free returns!
@@mattpopovich Thanks for the advice - much appreciated! I suppose my comment was more about the strangeness of Amazon than anything else. Another story: At one point I bought a part for my RS3 from a third-party seller in California (an Audi dealership, BTW) and their site "confirmed" compatibility and I already *knew* it was the correct part. The seller reached out to me after I'd already paid for the part to hold up the shipment so they could tell me that this part would positively, absolutely *NOT* work on my RS3 and they would not take it back if I continued. Needless to say, I had the part installed and it matched the original part perfectly and worked as it was supposed to. This was after I had identified the $25 part at my local dealership as being "in stock", but when I tried to buy it they refused to sell it to me! This was likely because they had already quoted me $6000 to replace my fuel tank when all it needed was this $25 part and they weren't going to make it easy for me.
They don't call them "stealerships" for nothing 😜 I have stopped getting my car serviced at Audi dealers. If anything needs done that I can't or don't want to do, there is a local shop that I go to that specializes in German cars. Nice, knowledgeable guys that offer fair prices. The last time I went to the dealership was for the PODS recall on my A3. They did a free "courtesy inspection" that came back with like $8k of "recommended" work. I think the car's resale is $9k lol. That was about 40k miles ago. None of it needed service and they seem to take advantage and scare people into unnecessary service.
