needed new set of wipers so went to 1 of my works renault dealerships yesterday and bought a set, pukka renault ones in a renault branded/badged cardboard package etc.
on the front of each of the 2 packages it said "FOR: CLIO (3/98 - 4/01)" then underneath that "CLIO (UK) (3/98 - 4/01)"
now that to me says there for Clios from 1998 R reg to 2001 Y reg which afaik would make the wipers for a mk2 ph1 clio, which is the same shape as my 04 reg mk2 ph3 clio, hence I'd imagine both run the same wipers, therfore I was a bit confused when they said it was cars only upto april 2001, but anyway the wipers were the same length as the ones I took off my car, looked almost the same and fitted spot on.
HOWEVER, the next thing was, the new blades I bought said "Valeo" on them (bearing in mind they were proper renault ones tht came in a renault branded package), but the old ones I took off, which looked like the originals had what looked like a Bosch logo on them, i.e. the blades I took off were a different make from the ones I replaced them with.
are the wipers I bought the right ones for my car or have I been sold the wrong wiper blades??
