Turn off the ignition, press and hold the maintenance light reset button, then turn on the ignition. Release the reset button and press button A to complete the reset. Below is an introduction to the Bora: 1. Powertrain: Equipped with 1.6L and 1.4TSI engines, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, 6-speed Tiptronic automatic manual transmission, and 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. 2. Features: Multifunction digital display instrument panel; voice navigation system integrating DVD playback, navigation, radio, and Bluetooth; cruise control system; pedestrian protection function; fourth-generation online electronic anti-theft system.
Resetting the maintenance light on an old Bora is actually quite common, and I've done it myself a few times. First, turn the key to the OFF position without starting the engine. Then, locate the small button on the dashboard, usually labeled RESET or SET, and press and hold it. Next, turn the key to the ON position to illuminate the dashboard lights without starting the engine. Keep holding the button for about 10-15 seconds until the maintenance light turns off, indicating success. If the light doesn't respond, don't worry—it might be due to poor button contact or a system glitch. Trying a couple more times usually does the trick. It's important to address the maintenance light promptly when it comes on to prevent carbon buildup or accelerated wear. Regularly changing the oil and filter can extend the engine's life, especially for older cars that need extra care. If you really can't get it to work, a quick trip to the repair shop for a small fee will sort it out hassle-free and give you peace of mind.
