Just to make it crystal clear: you can only use the Bosch Icon OE blades that have the "Clearmax 2365" badge on the front of the package. These blades come with a #4 adapter, the older ones without the logo don't, and there is no way to clip/mod them to make them fit.
I can confirm the Bosch Icon 18OE & 26OE with ClearMax365 fit perfectly. They come with a #4 adapter which you can use with the blade. Fits perfect, no trimming of other adapters. These blades get great reviews and are specially treated to hold up/wor better under snow/ice, cold, sun, etc. Mfr. claims they last 40% longer than Rain-X, Trico, other blades. Anyways, they work great.
Replaced spark plugs with genuine VW Bosch units
The 07K 2.5l came with either a 140A Valeo or 140A Bosch alternator. Be sure you're buying based on alternator brand.
Just bought some Bosch brake pads and rotors off of Amazon. Made in China as well. The quality of the products were good too. Fit perfectly and works very well.
I just buy a Bosch at Walmart. My Accord has been chugging along fine for past 12 years with those.
Hopefully I can get some more years out of this Bosch.
I personally love the Bosch Icons. They are much more expensive than standard blades but they work much better and last longer, especially in colder climates.
i might switch out the plugs again because my buddy got me some freebie bosch plat 4 and i wanna put the bosch single silvers in.
They came out to $25 each at the dealership. I'm not impressed with them either. They are much stiffer than the Bosch Icons are. I have Icons on the BMW & they are still more supple after almost a year compared to the new VW blades.
