Sure it’s been covered but searching didn’t provide any insight.

Need to replace the front wipers. Any preferences/ recommendations on this?

I was thinking Bosch as go too, but put Bosch on wife’s evoque recently and were a bit rubbish, squeaky and smeary! Maybe just got unlucky…

Will see what deals are out there on a622s thanks 🙏

Bosch is the OEM and I'm sure this was discussed on the forum a few years back as I remember contributing.

Technically they should be replaced twice a year (!) so don't get too hung up on choice.

Sure it has been. As said my experience with Bosch recently was poor hence the q. Blades have been on the taycan for 5 years I think so well over due a change. Are oem ones def Bosch?

Not sure if the blades are branded but will check in morning to see if any branding on originals.

Just bought some Bosch a622s based Kurands info for £24 posted so hope this set are ok.

Generally Bosch. I've bought several replacements over the 4 years of ownership.

I use Bosch on my Taycan and have had no issues. If you're getting squeaks and smears with new blades I'd suggest you give the screen a good clean to ensure there's no grime and grease build-up. It's also worth giving the blades themselves a quick wipe with white vinegar every so often.

Well, replaced with Bosch. Again disappointed. Wipe leaves patches across bottom and edges of wipe smeared. Maybe I’m asking too much. It’s a 4 week old replacement screen.

I've used Bosch Aerotwin for many years. Replace every 12 - 18 months and never had an issue.

Have you used a good quality screen cleaner to get your screen spotless?
Something like this perhaps:

Will give it a go. Need to sort my washer jets freezing up as this ain’t helping in this weather and no screen wash! Not sure if the screen wash not up to the job or the jets are just frozen ( or both!)

You need to up the concentration of the washer fluid if it's freezing.

It’s neat. It is all season wash so need to check the working temp range, and possibly replace with something better.

Use the Porsche screenwash additive.
