I'm using a Bosch Group 48 battery (it is 26 months old now) from Pep-boys. Their testing machine result says 'good battery' The guy at the store said, it was as good as a new one.

The Bosch Icon are cool. I happened to notice a buy one get 50% another sale at AutoZone. I snatched a pair for the R and a pair for the GTI.
I always just buy a pair of the OEM Bosch blades from either Amazon or Ebay. Whichever is less $$. I think I typically get the front blade set for between $25-30, sometimes with shipping.
new bosch battery
IMO Bosch makes a good set of blades.
Personally I have used almost every premium brand but prefer Bosch Icon blades on my truck.
I just installed new brake pads and rotors all around, oil and filter change, new bosch icon wiper blades, and new oem rubber floor mats. The car runs and drives great and everything works as it should including the sunroof, heated and power leather seats, satellite radio, windows and mirrors, etc.
I have used Bosch rotors that have zinc coating and they don't rust as bad as normal rotors.
I am pretty sure that the 120A-Vr is much like all of the later Bosch alts with internal cooling. I just took my 120A 1.8t one apart and it is a PITA.
my 044 is horribly loud, changed the way I felt about my car (& I have a V1 w/ cogged belt no less). Mounting creatively will keep the hums/vibes down.
