Bosch uses its expertise in sensor technology, software and services to offer its customers connected, cross-domain solutions from a single source.
Bosch Wiper Blades
Bosch Windscreen Wipers are engineered for extreme all-weather performance, giving drivers full visibility no matter the weather conditions
They’re also manufactured to Original Equipment (OE) specifications, which means they’re the same quality as the equipment used by your vehicle’s manufacturer.
At Halfords, we stock a wide range of standard and flat Bosch wiper blades for both the front and rear of your vehicle, including the award-winning Bosch Aerotwin wiper blades for smoother and quieter wiping. The type of wiper blade you need will depend on your vehicle’s make and model, and you can find the right ones for your car using your registration number. Just enter it into our online wiper blade finder and we’ll show you the different options available for your vehicle.

When do I need to replace my windscreen wipers?
With regular maintenance and cleaning, your wiper blades should last around a year, but you should replace them sooner if they become damaged or stop performing properly. There are a few warning signs to look out for that indicate you might need new wiper blades:
- Fogging
- Chatter Marks
- Streaking
- Skipping
- Smearing
- Squeaking
If it is time for replacement wiper blades, Halfords stock many popular Bosch blades:
Standard
The Bosch SP26 Wiper Blade and Bosch SP22/16S Wiper Blades offer superb wiper performance to ensure clear visibility in all weather conditions. The blades are manufactured to EO specifications and can be installed quickly and easily. offer superb wiper performance for clear visibility in all weather conditions. The blades are manufactured to OE specifications and can be installed quickly and easily.
Both wiper blades have an extended service life thanks to their premium quality, and they’re ready to fit straight out of the box.
Retrofit Upgrade
Retrofit blades allow you to fit flat blades on a vehicle that normally uses standard blades. The Bosch Aerotwin Retrofit Single AR26U is a maximum-performance flat wiper blade that provides superior visibility and wiping performance, even at high speeds.
The blade is easy to install thanks to its pre-assembled adaptor and comes with Bosch’s patented Power Protection Plus coating.
Flat
The Bosch AP26U Wiper Blade – Single is part of the Aerotwin range, which provides a clearer, smoother, and quieter wiping performance. Bosch’s unique wiper rubber includes the patented Power Protection Plus coating and ensures even contact pressure for longer lasting blades.
The blade features an aerodynamic spoiler and tensioned metal strips that hold it closer to the windscreen. This helps to improve visibility and reduce wind noise.
Bosch Chargers
Traditional battery chargers provide batteries with a steady current that doesn’t take into account a battery’s condition or age. They also only have one charging mode, which means you can run the risk of overcharging the battery and causing permanent damage.
The Bosch C7 Battery Charger and Bosch C3 Battery Charger are different. Using Smart Amps, these chargers can generate the optimum charge current for the condition of the battery and the current charging stage. They provide a fast, high-quality charge that helps to maximise the battery’s lifespan, and also offer four and six charging modes respectively.
The integrated trickle charge function means that batteries can be monitored and reliably kept at a high charge level when they’re not in use. The chargers can also be left connected to the battery and will switch automatically to the maintenance/trickle charging mode when the battery’s fully charged.
SmartAMPs Technology
Continuously monitors the condition of the battery at every phase to charge at the optimum current and avoid under- or over-charging.
Safe
Automatically protects against sparking, short circuiting, reverse polarity and overheating.
Automatic Shut Off
Automatically shuts off in situations when there is an open circuit, a battery is incorrectly connected or there’s an abnormal charging time.
MCU Processor
Provides state-of-the-art charging to maximise the lifespan of your battery.
Cold/AGM Mode
Offers an optimal mode for charging stop-start batteries or batteries that are less than 5°C.
Recovery Mode
Recovers deeply discharged and sulphated batteries (voltage of 7.5-10 SV) with pulse charging.
One Touch Button
Easiest charger to use – simply plug it in, turn it on, select your mode and begin charging
All types of lead acid batteries
Safely charges AGM, wet, gel, open and VRLA batteries.
Regeneration Mode (C7 only)
Regenerates a short-term, deeply discharged battery (such as when you’ve left your car lights on overnight).
Constant Current Mode (C7 only)
Delivers a constant current to the direct current-enabled clips at all times.
IP65
Dust proof and splash water proof
Bosch Spark Plugs
Spark plugs are among the most important components in cars with petrol engines, being responsible for getting them reliably started.
They’re also crucial for optimum engine performance and reliable operation.
Bosch has been at the forefront of spark plug technology for over 100 years.
While the company originally developed spark plugs to meet the needs of motor sport, that innovative technology was later incorporated into EO spark plugs for cars, motorcycles and more.
The FR78X Bosch Super 4 Spark Plug x4 is a great example of Bosch’s innovation.
It operates on the state-of-the-art air-cushion-spark principle and is the world’s first spark plug to feature four thin ground electrodes with one pointed, silver-plated centre electrode.
This provides a noticeable improvement in acceleration, improved engine smoothness and superior engine versatility
The FQR8LEU2 Bosch Spark Plug +57 x4 features a nickel-plated shell with rolled threads and provides both improved starting in cold weather and increased fuel ignitability.
