All,
I've just received my 2014 1.6 Tekna and I'm looking to replace all 3 wiper blades. Anyone got any recommendations which are the best ones to use? Also, I think my Air Con requires re-gassing - how much should I expect to pay for this to be done?

Many Thanks

Dave.

Use SEARCH Box in top left hand corner for the 2 subjects queried; raised many times before.
You should really be certain of necessity of regas as the new EU specified refrigerant is very expensive, and most independent
air con companies only have kit to use the previous much cheaper gas. Old gas is also less prone to leak and less flammable.

Thanks Gel, I've read the posts regarding the condenser problems so I'll leave that a little while until I'm certain any action is required.
I'll search now for wiper advice.
thanks again.

It shouldn't need regassing at this stage, but if it does Westway Nissan do a fixed price air-con service including re-gas for £79

My wiper blade recommendation is the Bosch Aerotwins for the front - the AR652S set (listed as for the Renault Espace and Avantime) has a slightly longer passenger side wiper. Rear is a Bosch Super Plus - I think it's an H301.

DaveyB, as Gel has mentioned just try using the "Search" area as there is so much data available here - Dave :)
To save you time take a look here it is long though and as Hound has mentioned Bosch is the name of the game but there are cheaper options :
