What is the size of the Audi A6L wiper blades?
2 Answers
Audi A6L wiper blades are 22 inches for both the driver's side and the passenger's side, with the same length for both. They use a specialized interface and require Audi-specific wiper blades. Wiper blades refer to the blade structure installed in front of the windshield, consisting of an electric motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, wiper blade assembly, etc. Their main function is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstructs visibility. The Audi A6L has a length, width, and height of 5050mm, 1886mm, and 1475mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 3024mm. It features a five-link independent suspension at both the front and rear and is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been repairing Audi vehicles for nearly 20 years. The A6L's wiper sizes are mostly 24 inches for the driver's side and 19 inches for the passenger's side, which is the classic combination of 600mm + 480mm. These numbers are listed in Chapter 7 of the vehicle manual under the accessories table, but some models after the 2018 version may switch to 24+18 inches. When selecting wipers, make sure to check for the U-hook interface, as Audi-specific clips are not compatible with universal types. Last week, I helped a car owner replace a set, and the Bosch Aerotwin series fits curved glass particularly well. A reminder to everyone: be sure to replace the rubber blades before winter, as old ones can crack at -10°C. When installing, remember to place a towel on the windshield to prevent the wiper arm from snapping back and cracking the glass. Here's a handy tip: lift the wipers upright before replacing them to save yourself from bending over and struggling.
