Bora is not a product of Shanghai Volkswagen. The Bora is a compact sedan under FAW-Volkswagen and does not belong to SAIC Volkswagen. Volkswagen has only two joint ventures in China's automotive industry, which are SAIC Volkswagen and FAW-Volkswagen. SAIC Volkswagen produces models such as the Santana, Passat, POLO, Lavida, Lamando, and Phideon. FAW-Volkswagen produces models including the Sagitar, Jetta, Magotan, Bora, Golf, Volkswagen CC, Golf Sportsvan, and C-Trek. The currently available Bora models are the 2019 versions, which come in both China V and China VI emission standards. The 2019 Bora has dimensions of 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1473mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. The new Bora is equipped with two engine options: a 1.4T and a 1.5L, and offers three transmission choices: a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, a 5-speed manual transmission, and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission.

Actually, the Bora is a model under FAW-Volkswagen, not Shanghai Volkswagen. Shanghai Volkswagen has now been renamed SAIC Volkswagen, producing cars like the Lavida and Santana, while FAW-Volkswagen manufactures the Bora and Sagitar in Changchun. With over a decade of experience in cars, I recall that the Bora evolved from the old Jetta platform and was introduced to China in 2001. It has always been handled by FAW, with a design leaning towards sportiness and youthfulness, coupled with solid material quality. SAIC Volkswagen, on the other hand, adopts a more conservative style. Many people confuse these two companies because both names include 'Volkswagen,' but they are independent joint ventures with their own production lines and distribution networks. When buying a car, pay attention to the manufacturer's logo: FAW-Volkswagen cars bear the FAW-VW emblem, while SAIC uses SAIC-VW. The Bora offers good maintenance costs and reliability. If you're considering purchasing one, checking the actual vehicle registration details is the safest bet.

What is the size of the rear windshield of the Baojun 510?

The size of the rear windshield of the Baojun 510 is 4mm in thickness, with an area of 1050mm × 1050mm. Windshield placement method: The car's windshield is placed vertically, like a large flat mirror, which will image the passengers inside the car in front of the vehicle, hindering the driver's ability to see pedestrians on the road and easily causing illusions. When the car's windshield is installed at an angle, the passengers inside the car are reflected by the front windshield and imaged above the front of the vehicle, while pedestrians on the road are in front of the car. This allows the driver to distinguish between the passengers inside the car and the pedestrians on the road. Advantages of tempered glass: Tempered glass is another type of safety glass, widely used in modern cars for side and rear windows. Compared to laminated glass, tempered glass increases strength through heating and pressurization.

Can You Wear Sandals While Learning to Drive?

You can wear sandals while learning to drive. Here are some important considerations when learning to drive: Overtaking and lane changing: Be decisive and firm when overtaking or changing lanes, and try to stay close to the vehicle in front, especially on two-way roads, as this can save time during overtaking. When changing lanes, carefully observe the traffic in the adjacent lane through the rearview mirror—not only assessing the distance but also the speed of the following vehicle. Only change lanes when it is safe to do so; otherwise, if a collision occurs, the vehicle changing lanes will bear full responsibility. Listening to the engine sound: Unusual noises may occur when the car is moving fast in a low gear or when the gear is mismatched. Similarly, abnormal sounds and body vibrations can happen when driving at low speed in a high gear. Generally, after starting, shift to 2nd gear once the car is moving, and then shift to 3rd gear at around 40 mph.

What's the reason for suddenly failing to start the engine?

The reasons for suddenly failing to start the engine are as follows: 1. Insufficient rotation speed: The starter begins to rotate but lacks sufficient power, eventually making only clicking sounds without turning. Low temperatures in winter and forgetting to turn off certain electrical devices can prevent the vehicle from starting, especially after prolonged short-distance, low-speed usage in winter, which causes the battery voltage to drop below the rated value, making starting and normal operation impossible. Emergency solution: If this occurs, please call the service station for assistance, seek a jump-start from another vehicle, or temporarily start the engine, after which the battery must be recharged at the service station. 2. No oil pressure: There is no oil pressure in the engine's fuel supply line. This situation often occurs on particularly cold mornings due to long-term contamination of the fuel lines. At extremely low temperatures, water mixed with debris can block the fuel lines, resulting in failure to start. Emergency solution: Place the vehicle in a warm environment, and it should start after a while; alternatively, thoroughly clean the fuel lines as a permanent solution.

Why does the Audi A6 engine shake significantly when the air conditioning is turned on?

The most common reason for engine shaking when the air conditioning is turned on is a dirty throttle body, which affects the engine. If the air conditioning is turned on at this time, it will increase the engine idle speed, resulting in steering wheel vibration. Common causes are as follows: 1. Excessive carbon deposits: This could be due to severe carbon buildup inside the engine, causing idle vibration when the air conditioning is turned on. 2. Ignition system issues: If there is a problem with the vehicle's ignition system, it's necessary to check the spark plugs and high-voltage wires. Abnormal operation of the ignition system can lead to this situation, causing idle vibration. 3. Unstable fuel pressure: Unstable fuel pressure in the vehicle's fuel system can prevent the fuel pump from supplying fuel properly, leading to poor fuel atomization or failure to open the fuel injectors, resulting in idle vibration when the air conditioning is turned on.

What does increased battery discharge when the car is parked mean?

Increased battery discharge when the car is parked means the battery is over-discharging. When the ignition switch is turned on, the dashboard will display a warning indicating battery over-discharge. This is closely related to the car battery. Below are detailed explanations about car batteries: Overview: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The battery typically refers to a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Others: The plates of a conventional battery are composed of lead and lead oxides, and the electrolyte is an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. Its main advantages are stable voltage and low cost; the disadvantages are low specific energy (i.e., the amount of electrical energy stored per kilogram of battery), short service life, and frequent daily maintenance.

What is Remote Start?

Remote start refers to the ability to start the engine or motor remotely using a key fob. It has the following four key features: 1. Reliability: Since remote starting an engine or motor is structurally identical to manual ignition inside the vehicle, there's no mechanical wear on the heater, significantly reducing the likelihood of malfunctions. 2. Convenience: Although remote start can't be scheduled like parking heaters, the key fob activation remains highly convenient. With a typical range of at least 50 meters, you can remotely start your engine or motor from home or office when parked in ground-level parking lots. 3. Automatic Shutoff: If no further action is taken after remote starting, the system will automatically turn off the engine or motor after a set period, preventing potential fuel waste from forgetfulness. 4. Whole-Vehicle Heating: Similar to parking heaters, this function warms up the coolant in the radiator, effectively heating the cabin, engine compartment, and even windows.
