    After some advice and a heat shield!!

    Hi! Am after some advice am wanting my chunky original windscreen wipers replaced with modern aero type and to replace the chunky arms at the moment is there a VW version I read that's a simple replacement (plug n play) please?? Also after a heat shield for the rear back box am assuming it's n/a from Audi but did I read there is the same size that fits made by Jaguar?? Any help on both would be great thanks

        C5 A/S6 arms fit the coupe, although the wiper blades do need the ends trimming 20mm or so, to stop them catching

            The two arms? Or a pair of an arm?

            PD. I remember that the C5's arms ar too fat with central holes, true? I saw in the past a RS2 with some light arms like ours.

              There are two spindle sizes on the C5; I have posted the part number that fit (RHD) on the forum a few years ago. I will try and find them...
              The passenger wiper blade needs to be shortened.

                  ok thanks for your help! I wasn't sure if I read on here somewhere that a VW Lupo fits the S2 Coupe with the help of a little trim?

                      I've got aero wipers on my coupe. Got them YEARS ago from VAGparts. Seem to recall one was a polo arm, the other for an A4. Have a Google bunging VAGparts into the search and see what comes up. They were Deffo plug and play with no trimming required!

                        IMHO the A6 arms look a lot better and they certainly work better at high speed due to the stronger springs - here are some pics of mine from back in the day:














                        Parts numbers for the RHD arms which fit the smaller S2 spindles are:

                        4B2 955 407 C
                        4B2 955 408 C
