Frequently Asked Questions
What size wiper blades does an Audi RS3 take?
The Audi RS3 takes a 26 inch (650mm) driver side blade across all generations. The passenger side blade is 18 inches (450mm) on the 2015-2020 (8V) hatchback, and 19 inches (475mm) on the 2017-2020 (8V) sedan and the 2021-2024 (8Y) hatchback.
Does the Audi RS3 have a rear wiper?
Rear wiper fitment on the Audi RS3 depends on body style and generation. The 2015-2020 (8V) hatchback and the 2021-2024 (8Y) hatchback are both fitted with a rear wiper blade, measuring 13 inches (325mm) and 14 inches (350mm) respectively. The 2017-2020 (8V) sedan does not have a rear wiper and is fitted with two front blades only.
What wiper connector does the Audi RS3 use?
The Audi RS3 uses a slim push button connector on the 2015-2020 (8V) sedan and hatchback. The 2021-2024 (8Y) hatchback switches to a model specific adaptor, listed as adaptor code 16 on the specification sheet. Owners should confirm their adaptor type before ordering replacement blades.
Why is the passenger side wiper blade shorter on the 2015-2020 Audi RS3 hatchback?
The 2015-2020 (8V) hatchback uses an 18 inch (450mm) passenger blade, one size shorter than the 19 inch (475mm) blade fitted to the 8V sedan and the 8Y hatchback. This reflects a smaller windscreen wiper arc on the earlier hatchback body. Owners should confirm their specific model year and body style before ordering.
How often should I replace Audi RS3 wiper blades?
Most manufacturers recommend replacing wiper blades every 6 to 12 months under normal Australian driving conditions. Blades should be replaced sooner if they start to streak, skip or squeak across the windscreen. Regular replacement keeps visibility clear in wet weather and helps protect the windscreen from scratching.
