The first maintenance time for a new Bora is 12 months. Car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. The Bora is a model under FAW-Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4523mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1467mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. In terms of appearance, the front face design of the Bora uses Volkswagen's design language, integrating continuous lines into the front face design, connecting the headlights and the chrome-plated grille with precise and bold lines. The contour lines of the headlights and the internal design lines are precisely matched, forming Volkswagen's iconic front face.

I remember that the first maintenance for a new Bora is usually around 7,500 kilometers or 6 months, whichever comes first—don’t delay it too long. When a car is brand new, all its parts are in the break-in period, and early maintenance helps the engine run smoother. When I bought my first car, I made the mistake of waiting until 8,000 kilometers to get it serviced, and the car started making some strange noises. The 4S shop technician changed the engine oil and oil filter, cleaned the air filter, and even gave me a complimentary full vehicle inspection. Regular maintenance extends the car’s lifespan, reduces repair costs, and, more importantly, prevents small issues from turning into big ones that could affect the warranty. Now, I always remind my friends to keep an eye on the odometer within the first six months and not exceed the limit. Maintenance typically includes inspecting and replacing key components, which isn’t expensive but is definitely worth it.

The first maintenance for the Bora is set at 7,500 kilometers or six months, whichever comes first. As an average car owner, I find this quite reasonable. During the break-in period of a new car, components are prone to friction, so early maintenance helps prevent engine carbon buildup. When I went for the service, the shop changed the oil and filter, checked the brake pads and tire wear, which didn’t cost much and was hassle-free. I’d remind new drivers not to overlook this—delaying maintenance might affect the warranty or even pose safety risks. Keep an eye on the mileage while driving, and it’s best to set a phone reminder to estimate the timing. I recommend visiting authorized service centers, as they are more familiar with Volkswagen models, offer professional service, and can provide follow-up maintenance advice. Simply put, going on time is the best protection for your car.

The first maintenance for the new Bora is at 7,500 kilometers or around half a year. I suggest new car owners follow the manual and not delay. The maintenance includes changing the engine oil and oil filter, and checking the tires and brakes. Go to the 4S shop early to protect the engine and avoid warranty invalidation. Just remember the time.

Working principle of the transmission: Speed and torque variation are achieved through hydraulic transmission and gear combination. The torque converter is located at the front end of the hydraulic automatic transmission and is mounted on the engine's flywheel. Its function is similar to the clutch in a car, and it can automatically and continuously change the transmission ratio and torque ratio within a certain range according to changes in the vehicle's driving resistance, providing a certain degree of speed reduction and torque increase.

Does Windshield Washer Fluid Damage Car Paint?

High-quality windshield washer fluid does not damage car paint, but inferior quality fluid can cause harm. The effects of high-quality and inferior-quality windshield washer fluids on car paint are as follows: High-quality windshield washer fluid: Premium windshield washer fluid does not corrode car paint. It is made from deionized water with various environmentally friendly additives, providing functions such as dirt removal, antifreeze, anti-static, and anti-corrosion. Some higher-quality fluids also offer features like rapid snow and ice melting, anti-glare, and anti-fog properties, significantly enhancing driving safety. Inferior-quality windshield washer fluid: In contrast, inferior-quality windshield washer fluid is often diluted with water and alcohol, which can not only reduce the gloss of car paint and the hardness of rubber seals but also cause color differences, swelling, or dissolution in rubber or plastic parts in severe cases.

Why does Volkswagen have only one reverse light on?

Volkswagen vehicles have only one reverse light illuminated because a single light makes it easier for drivers to identify. Below are the reasons for having only one reverse light and an introduction to the installation position of reverse lights: Reasons for having only one reverse light: Since 2001, China's traffic laws have been revised to require each vehicle to be equipped with at least one fog light and one reverse light. Vehicles under 6 meters in length are mandated to have one reverse light installed, with the other being optional. In practice, a single illuminated reverse light is more noticeable to drivers. Symmetrical lighting on both sides might cause drivers to become desensitized, potentially mistaking the vehicle ahead for one driving in the wrong direction. A single light is easier to recognize. Installation position of reverse lights: The position of reverse lights is also regulated by national standards. Reverse lights are generally installed on the right side of the vehicle's rear. Since China follows left-hand drive, placing the reverse light on the right side allows drivers to conveniently reverse and park on the right side of the road at night. This arrangement not only complies with national regulations but also reduces production costs.
