Audi S3 Wiper Blades Size Guide
The Audi S3 is the high performance variant of the Audi A3, a compact car from German manufacturer Audi, and it has been offered as a hatchback, sedan and convertible depending on the generation. Most 8V and 8Y models take a 26 inch (650mm) blade on the driver side and either an 18 inch (450mm) or a 19 inch (475mm) blade on the passenger side, while the 8P takes 24 inch (600mm) and 19 inch (475mm) blades and the 8L takes 21 inch (525mm) and 19 inch (475mm) blades, so sizes vary by variant. Front wipers use a Slim Push Button connector on the 8V, a Pinch Tab connector on the 8P, a J-Hook connector on the 8L and a model specific adaptor on the 8Y, and the hatchbacks have a rear wiper while the sedans and the convertible do not.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size wiper blades does an Audi S3 take?
The size depends on the generation and body type. The 8V and 8Y generations take a 26 inch (650mm) driver side blade, paired with an 18 inch (450mm) passenger side blade on the 8V hatchback and convertible and a 19 inch (475mm) passenger side blade on the 8V sedan, 8Y sedan and 8Y hatchback. The 8P takes 24 inch (600mm) and 19 inch (475mm) blades, and the 8L takes 21 inch (525mm) and 19 inch (475mm) blades.
Does the Audi S3 have a rear wiper?
It depends on the body type. The hatchbacks have a rear wiper, with a 15 inch (375mm) blade on the 8L, a 13.5 inch (343mm) blade on the 8P, a 13 inch (325mm) blade on the 8V and a 14 inch (350mm) blade on the 8Y. The 8V and 8Y sedans and the 8V convertible do not have a rear wiper and are fitted with two front wiper blades only.
What wiper connector does the Audi S3 use?
The connector changes between generations. The 8V uses a Slim Push Button connector, the 8P uses a Pinch Tab connector and the 8L uses a J-Hook connector. The 8Y uses a model specific adaptor, so blades sold for the 8V should not be assumed to fit.
Do the Audi S3 sedan, hatchback and convertible take the same blade sizes?
Not always. The 8V sedan and 8V hatchback share a 26 inch (650mm) driver side blade, but the sedan takes a 19 inch (475mm) passenger side blade while the hatchback and convertible take an 18 inch (450mm) passenger side blade. The 8Y sedan and 8Y hatchback both take 26 inch (650mm) and 19 inch (475mm) blades.
How often should I replace Audi S3 wiper blades?
Audi S3 wiper blades should generally be replaced every 6 to 12 months, or sooner if they streak, skip or squeak. Strong Australian sun breaks down the rubber faster, so a car parked outdoors may need new blades earlier. On the hatchback models, the rear blade should be replaced at the same time as the front pair.
