I’d imagine new dealer supplied wiper blades will be exactly the same.

I’ll be upgrading mine to some Bosch ones soon.

 

has anyone managed to get new wiper blades on warranty?

There are heaps of treads on the poor quality new wiper blades coming out of Volkswagen, in short it is not worth the trouble going for dealer replacements.
Heaps of recommendations of better quality after market ones if you do a quick search. Bosch appear the choice leader at this stage.

 

The car has a factory fit towbar and the max speed is set to 80 km/hr but its legal to tow at 120 km/hr in France if the trailer is CE marked for it. Anyone know how to get this changed?

For changing the speeding warning.

If your settings are in mph, then use your limits in mph.

Now that is useful! I'm going out to the car to try that now!!

EDIT
That didn't work!! I followed your instructions and got this far. There is no slider to adjust the speed. A trip to the dealer is required !!

 

I've had my t-roc since end of May. Thought I was alone with the awful drag of the wiper blades. I've cleaned the screen and blades thoroughly but no difference. Like I've read I was going to go for Bosch, if they are the preferred ones.

 

Rear wipers dragging has been an issue on my last 4 Vws

 

 

Not on warranty no, I paid to have the wiper blades replaced at the 1 year service because I agree, the dragging sound is infuriating! Never known wiper blades to give up the ghost so quickly! Regarding you phone connectivity, is this through CarPlay? I had this issue constantly and then saw someone had advised connecting to the car’s WiFi. Not sure if it’s on here or another forum but Google it and see if you can find it. It drops off every so often but has improved significantly since doing this!

 

Yes, mine was dragging. I complained to VW dealer and they replaced it, no questions. Alternatively, if you're a bit handy, you can take off the blade and reverse it in its bracket/holder. There's a little "nub" of plastic to stop you doing this but it's simple to cut off and Bob's your uncle. 🤞

 

I had the same problem with the wipers - very irritating. Purchased Bosch replacements, and so far all is quiet. Very easy to install - like for like fittings, no adaptor kits as with some replacement blades.

I have a 72 plate T-Roc R-Line DSG the 2.0 4 motion version I’ve swapped the rear wiper twice Once for dealer ones Once for non-dealer ones Still shudders and groans as it clears the rear screen It’s simply the T-Roc way lol

 

Now have a T-Roc, owned 3 Golfs, Tiguan, 4 Twincab-chassis Transporters & all VW blades soon drag in Australia. Yes - I always replace with Bosch!

 

There has been an abundance of whinges here in Australia about the dodgy wipe blades. Here they are not covered by warranty. Most owners here simply replaced them early in their ownership As did I.

 

Funny how the wipers are still rubbish even after the T-Roc model has been out over 7 years+ 🤣🤦

 

It‘s not only with the T-Roc. It has been the same issue with our two VW up!

 

Probably most of the volkswagon audi group models 🤣🤦

Its not a biggy though 😎

 

I rang the dealer yesterday and booked the car in to sort all the little issues. I specifically asked about the wiper issue and was told that VW recommend that the blades are changed every 6 months. That's a new one on me!! I then asked what brand the VW wiper blades were and the lady said they were no longer Bosch and hadn't been for almost three years.

We got talking as you do, and it turned out that I was talking to the daughter of the dealer principal, a man who was in short trousers when I bought my first new VW in 1981 from his Uncle! So, next Thursday, at 14:00 they will fix everything for me!!

 

Every year ,in the middle of November, I replace all wipers of our cars. I don’t care in which condition they are. Only Bosch.

 

Took the car to the dealer yesterday and they fixed the software issues I was having with the latest update. They couldn't change the trailer towing speed though but they said that they would speak to VW to see if it can be changed. As to the wiper issue, obviously the wipers are not covered under warranty and they recommended that I get some Bosch ones!

As regards the trailer towing speed, is there anyone here with a factory fit towbar for a UK model year 24/25? Wondering if its an issue with RHD spec cars.
