Bosch is still the gold standard but not what it used to be. Don't buy cheap junk.

I just put on Bosch Aero twin blades. The different is night day over the stock blades.
I've tried a lot of wipers on my others cars and my usual go-to is the Bosch Icons, but for my VW I like the OEM's the best oddly enough.. What I do is just replace them yearly, but I get some people don't want to spend that money haha. Works great in the winter while they're fresh.
Probably the easiest car to swap a battery on imo. Just remove and replace, negative off first. Bosch is good quality, but not required...Use 80Ah 12V.
Had Halfords ones for 1-2 yrs and they worked but were noisy as hell juddering across the screen. Later switched to Bosch and not only were they *silent* (in comparison) they also didn’t judder across the screen so actually cleaned the windscreen properly.
Got the Bosch Areotwin replacement wiper blades yesterday, installation was exactly like the factory wiper, snap right on with no adpators. The first thing I notice was how much better the quality was with the Bosch blade construction wise. Had a bit of rain on the drive to work this morning, the Bosch wipers were quiet and cleans with no streaks. I have always had good luck with Bosch wipers and these areotwins are no exception.
I am using Bosch battery for my BMW, going through my 2nd, it lasts for 2 years+, less than 50% of the price of the dealership
Stick with a high quality oem replacement alternator; VW installed a number alternator oem brands (bosch, Valeo, Hitachi, etc). My 2002 New Beetle Turbo S; had a Valeo 120 Amp unit installed, I had a hard time finding a Valeo unit, so I went with Bosch and so far, I have not any issues with it but the body of the alternator, was slightly bigger, so the wiring harness, was a bit of a tight fit.
New brakes. All OEM replacements, however the Bosch pads are a bit squeaky
Bosch is making crappy plugs these days.
