How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Bora?
2 Answers
To reset the maintenance light on a Bora, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold the wrench button, then turn on the ignition. 2. Release the wrench button and press the minute adjustment button on the time setting. 3. Turn off the ignition, release the time button, and then turn on the ignition again or start the engine to complete the maintenance light reset. Taking the Bora 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4663mm, width 1815mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase 2688mm, minimum ground clearance 126mm, fuel tank capacity 50l, trunk capacity 506l, and curb weight 1320kg.
I remember one time the service light on my Bora kept coming on, which was really annoying. I spent quite a while figuring out how to fix it myself. Simply put, first turn the key to the off position—don’t start the car. Then find the button on the dashboard labeled TRIP or the menu button, and hold it down. Next, turn the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine. The dashboard will then display a countdown of about 10 seconds. Wait until it automatically resets to zero kilometers before releasing the button. Once done, restart the car and the light should be off. This method works for most Volkswagen models, but if your car is a newer model or has a special system, manual reset might not work, and you’ll need to visit a 4S shop with a diagnostic tool. Regularly resetting the service reminder helps keep it accurate, so you don’t miss maintenance schedules, which is good for extending your car’s lifespan. I once ignored it for half a year, and ended up with transmission issues, costing me unnecessary money.
