To reset the maintenance reminder for Volkswagen Bora, follow these steps: 1. Turn on the ignition, hold down the reset button with your left hand, and then turn off the ignition with your right hand. 2. Keep holding the reset button with your left hand until the dashboard screen goes blank (i.e., turns off), then release the button. 3. Restart the vehicle and check if the reset was successful. Below are three common maintenance reminder light icons: (1) A yellow oil can symbol. (2) A small yellow wrench symbol. (3) A wrench icon or a text message prompting you to change the oil promptly.

I have ten years of driving experience, and handling the maintenance reminder for a Volkswagen Bora is a piece of cake. First, turn off the engine, then locate the small button on the left side of the steering wheel (usually the trip button), hold it down, and turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. Wait for the dashboard prompt to flash, hold for about ten seconds, then release the button, and the reminder will disappear. This method works for older Bora models; newer ones might have more menu options, so check the user manual for adjustments. Don’t forget, this reminder is for regular oil changes—just resetting it without servicing can lead to engine sludge buildup and shorten the car’s lifespan. I recommend checking every 5,000 kilometers to save money and drive with peace of mind.

I usually drive a Bora for daily commuting and have encountered the maintenance reminder light a few times. It's not difficult to handle, but safety must be prioritized. The method is to turn off the engine, hold the steering wheel button, turn the key to the ignition position, and wait for the reminder to disappear. The specific location is near the instrument panel. The key is not to be lazy—after resetting, you must go for maintenance on time. Volkswagen designed this feature to protect the engine. Regular oil changes and inspections can save you from major repair costs, and ignoring the reminder could lead to problems on the road. I’ve checked the details for different models—some use instrument panel buttons or menu settings for more flexibility. In any case, consulting the owner’s manual before taking action is the most reliable approach.

Why is there water dripping under the car when parked in summer?

This is a normal drainage phenomenon of the car's air conditioning system. Here are the specific reasons for the air conditioning system drainage: 1. Condensation of moisture in hot air: Due to the high temperature inside the car, the cooling system needs to be activated to lower the interior temperature. At this time, the moisture in the hot air inside the car will condense on the heat-absorbing fins of the evaporator, which has a very low surface temperature. The water droplets are collected by the plastic casing of the evaporator and drained out of the car through the pipes. 2. Condensation on low-pressure pipes: The low-pressure pipes of the car's air conditioning system are not wrapped with insulating foam, making the pipe surfaces prone to condensing moisture from the air. Water droplets will also drip from the lowest point of the pipes.

What does the first letter on a license plate represent?

The first letter on a license plate represents the code for each prefecture-level city, region, autonomous prefecture, or league. The functions of a license plate are: 1. To number and register information for each vehicle; 2. To identify the region to which the vehicle belongs; 3. To trace the owner and registration details of the vehicle based on the license plate. Types of license plates: 1. White represents military or police plates; 2. Blue represents ordinary small vehicles with fewer than 7 seats; 3. Yellow represents ordinary large vehicles; 4. Black represents foreign enterprise plates. The method for installing a license plate is: 1. Take out the screws for the license plate and insert them into the anti-theft caps; 2. Position the license plate correctly, align the screws with the gaps on the bumper, and secure them using tools; 3. Cover the anti-theft caps and press them into place.

Should Waterless Coolant Be Replaced?

It is not necessary to replace. Although the heat dissipation performance of waterless coolant is indeed excellent, conventional coolant is sufficient for normal heat dissipation needs. Moreover, the cost of replacing waterless coolant is significantly high—replacing it once is nearly equivalent to the expense of replacing ordinary coolant ten times, making it not cost-effective. Below is additional information on the functions of waterless coolant: 1. Anti-corrosion: Prevents rust inside the engine, keeping the radiator and cooling system as good as new for a long time. 2. No or very low pressure: The cooling system operates under no or very low pressure, allowing the radiator cap to be opened at any time. 3. Enhanced power: Eliminates the thermal insulation layer caused by water vapor, resolves localized overheating in the engine, and unleashes the engine's power potential. 4. Faster acceleration: Reduces acceleration distance, ensures smoother acceleration, and improves gear shifting connectivity.

What are the differences between the high and low configurations of the Trumpchi GM6?

The differences between the high and low configurations of the Trumpchi GM6 are: 1.

Taking the 2021 Trumpchi GM6 as an example, it belongs to the MPV category, with body dimensions of: length 4780mm, width 1837mm, height 1730mm, a wheelbase of 2810mm, a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters, and a trunk capacity of 324 liters.

What is the correct way to use a coating agent?

The correct method for using a coating agent is: 1. Clean the car body; 2. Dehydrate and blow dry the entire vehicle; 3. Evenly apply the coating agent liquid on the car paint; 4. Use a dry towel to evenly wipe the coating liquid on the car paint; 5. Apply a water-repellent promoter. The composition of the coating agent includes: glass cellulose, silicon polymer, fluorine polymer, and high-purity water non-petroleum environmentally friendly materials. The functions of the coating are: 1. Resisting paint oxidation and aging; 2. Effectively resisting UV radiation; 3. Corrosion and high-temperature resistance; 4. Scratch resistance and easy cleaning; 5. Protecting the brightness of the car paint surface, forming a mirror effect for 3 to 5 years or more; 6. Ultra-environmentally friendly, using water-based environmentally friendly materials, does not oxidize itself, and will not cause secondary pollution to the car paint.

What is the reason for the yellow light on the car?

The reasons for the yellow light on the car are as follows: 1. When the oil fault light comes on, it indicates that the car is low on oil. In this case, the vehicle's oil should be replenished promptly; 2. When the tire pressure fault light comes on, it indicates an imbalance in tire pressure. In this case, the tires should be inspected; 3. When the maintenance reminder light comes on, it means the car is due for maintenance. Daily vehicle use should adhere to scheduled maintenance; 4. When the engine fault light comes on, there can be various reasons, including engine overheating, engine misfire, engine knocking, severe engine carbon buildup, poor fuel quality, etc. More relevant information is as follows: When the engine fault light comes on, if the vehicle is still drivable, immediately take it to a nearby repair shop or 4S store for professional inspection. If it cannot be driven, seek roadside assistance promptly to prevent potential safety hazards.
