How to Disassemble the Bora Car Key?
2 Answers
Bora's car key disassembly method is as follows: 1. Open the folding part of the car key to pop out the mechanical key. 2. Use a flat-head screwdriver to insert into the small horizontal groove in the slot, press firmly, and turn the screwdriver. 3. Pry open a larger gap, hold the key ring and pull hard. 4. Forcefully separate the side to expose the battery and circuit board part. 5. The Bora car key has been successfully disassembled. Here is some extended information: 1. The Bora is FAW-Volkswagen's first independently designed model, hailed as a new car that "inherits and surpasses the classic." 2. The new Bora measures 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, 1462/1473mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. It offers two powertrain options: 1.5L and 1.4TSI, paired with a 5-speed manual, 6-speed Tiptronic automatic, or 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission.
I learned how to disassemble it while replacing the battery myself. The old Bora remote key has a thin gap on the side—just slide a fingernail or credit card in and gently pry, and the shell splits open like a clam. Be careful with the small clasp near the keyring; don’t force it. The newer keys have a hidden mechanical key button—you need to pull out the metal key blade first to reveal the concealed latch at the base of the key fob. When opening it, hold the battery compartment down, or the tiny spring inside might pop out. When replacing the CR2032 coin battery, remember to place the shiny side facing up. When reassembling, a click sound means the clasp is secured. Avoid touching the golden contacts on the circuit board—sweat from your hands can interfere with signal transmission.
