I've test-driven the 2021 Volkswagen Bora multiple times. As someone who frequently evaluates new cars, I found its combined fuel consumption to be around 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on which engine you choose. The 1.5L naturally aspirated version may consume over 8 liters in city driving, but can drop to as low as 5.5 liters on highways. The 1.4T turbocharged version is slightly more fuel-efficient, averaging just over 6 liters in daily driving. Many factors affect fuel consumption: using air conditioning increases fuel consumption by about 10%, while reduced wind resistance on highways helps save fuel. Driving habits are also crucial: maintaining a steady speed with fewer sudden accelerations, regularly checking tire pressure, and performing scheduled engine maintenance can stabilize fuel consumption. Overall, this car's fuel efficiency is reasonable and suitable for daily commuting. My actual test data shows it's more economical than many cars in its class.

I drive a 2021 Bora, and as an ordinary owner who has driven it for over a year, the actual average fuel consumption is around 7 liters per 100 kilometers. During urban traffic congestion, the fuel consumption rises to about 9 liters, while on weekend highway trips, it drops below 6 liters, which is quite economical. Fuel efficiency largely depends on my driving habits: gentle acceleration saves significantly more fuel than aggressive throttle inputs. Using air conditioning or carrying a full load slightly increases consumption. Tracking expenses with a fuel cost app revealed substantial monthly savings, especially during periods of high fuel prices. Regular maintenance checks on the air filter have been helpful, keeping the engine running smoother. Overall, this car is fuel-efficient and practical, and I'm very satisfied with the long-term costs.

From a car expert's perspective, the fuel consumption of the 2021 Bora largely depends on its engine design. The 1.5L engine averages 7L/100km in mixed driving, slightly more efficient on highways; the 1.4T version performs even better. Fuel efficiency is significantly affected by aerodynamic drag and driving habits: hard braking or rapid acceleration can increase consumption by over 20%. Regular oil changes and spark plug inspections optimize efficiency; tire condition also matters. Maintaining steady speeds and minimizing AC use helps save fuel. This model has decent fuel economy control – with proper maintenance, consumption won't be unreasonable.

Why can't the edge of the front bumper be pressed back down?

Because some of the clips inside the bumper have fallen off, it needs to be removed and reinstalled inside the bumper. Safety Device: The car bumper is a safety device that absorbs and mitigates external impacts, protecting the front and rear of the vehicle body. Many years ago, front and rear car bumpers were made of steel plates stamped into channel steel, riveted or welded to the frame longitudinal beams, with a significant gap from the body, which looked very unattractive. Plastic Bumper: With the development of the automotive industry and the extensive application of engineering plastics in the automotive sector, car bumpers, as an important safety device, have also undergone innovation. Today, the front and rear bumpers of cars not only maintain their original protective functions but also strive for harmony and unity with the vehicle's styling and pursue lightweight design. The front and rear bumpers of cars are now made of plastic, commonly referred to as plastic bumpers.

Why does the steering system warning light come on and the car won't start?

The reasons why the steering system warning light comes on and the car won't start are as follows: Check if the battery has power: Failure to start may be caused by battery drain due to reasons such as leaving headlights on for a long time or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. Generally, the battery should be replaced in time according to the maintenance manual. Check if there is fuel: If the fuel gauge shows below the red line, naturally the car won't start. Also pay attention to the quality of the fuel. There have been cases where car owners found water and mud in the fuel tank after opening it. Using such fuel will inevitably damage the car. No antifreeze added: Some car owners add water or inferior antifreeze to their cars, resulting in the entire cooling system freezing in extremely cold winter conditions. This can cause the engine to crack, making the car unable to start and damaging other engine components.

What does it mean when the brake warning light is on, and can I still drive?

The brake warning light is on due to a fault in the braking system, and you should not drive. Introduction to brake pads: Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are consumable parts. Brake pad wear refers to the gradual wearing down of the brake pads during vehicle use. When the wear reaches its limit, they must be replaced; otherwise, braking performance will be reduced, potentially leading to brake failure and accidents. Replacing brake pads: Some vehicles have a warning light on the dashboard that illuminates when the brake pads are worn, indicating that they need to be replaced promptly. Typically, new brake pads are about 1.5 centimeters thick. If the brake pads wear down to less than 5 millimeters, replacement is recommended.

Which manufacturer produces the LJ481Q6 engine?

Wuling Liuji Power Co., Ltd. produces the LJ481Q6 engine. Wuling is the registered trademark and brand of Liuzhou Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd., and this logo has been fully authorized for use by SAIC-GM-Wuling. The LJ481Q6 engine has a maximum horsepower of 133 HP, a maximum power output of 98 KW, a maximum power speed of 5600 rpm, and a peak torque of 200 N.m. For daily maintenance of the LJ481Q6 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard being no lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, oil should be changed regularly based on usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
