The second maintenance for the Bora is at 10,000 kilometers or the 9th month after purchasing the new car, whichever comes first. Car maintenance, also known as car servicing, refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. The Bora is the first independently designed model by FAW-Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4523mm in length, 1775mm in width, 1467mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. In terms of appearance, the front design of the Bora incorporates Volkswagen's design language, integrating continuous lines into the front face design. Precise and bold lines connect the headlights with the chrome-plated grille, and the contour lines of the headlights perfectly match the internal design lines, complementing the chrome grille to form Volkswagen's iconic front face.

I've been driving my Volkswagen Bora for almost three years now. After getting the new car, the first maintenance was done at around 7,500 kilometers, and then the second maintenance came at approximately 15,000 kilometers, which is Volkswagen's standard recommendation. Generally, at this point, you need to change the engine oil and oil filter, and also check the brakes and tire pressure. I always choose authorized service centers for maintenance, which saves a lot of hassle. The earlier you do it, the better. If you delay a bit, the engine might accumulate carbon deposits or the noise could increase. My tip is, if you usually drive aggressively or the road conditions are poor, go a bit earlier—don't just stick to the exact numbers. Maintenance intervals should follow the vehicle manual, but 15,000 kilometers is a reliable benchmark. Maintaining good habits can extend the car's lifespan by several years. In short, regular maintenance is taking responsibility for your wallet.

As a new owner of a Bora, I asked the service staff at the 4S dealership, and they said the second maintenance is usually scheduled around 15,000 kilometers. After completing the first maintenance for a new car between 7,000 to 10,000 kilometers, the second maintenance follows. At this time, changing the engine oil and filter is essential, and they also check the electrical system to prevent minor issues. I think new owners often overlook maintenance schedules, so it's best to make an appointment around 14,000 kilometers. Don't try to save money by delaying, as it could affect the warranty or cause strange noises. I recommend downloading an app to set reminders and adjust flexibly based on the car's usage. The 15,000-kilometer mark isn't a strict rule; the manual is the gold standard. Timely maintenance protects the engine and avoids expensive repairs later on.

The second maintenance for the Bora is approximately at 15,000 kilometers, which is the manufacturer's regular schedule. Typically, the first maintenance is between 7,500 to 10,000 kilometers, followed by the second maintenance at an interval of six months or 15,000 kilometers. The service includes oil change, inspection, and tire pressure adjustment. Regular maintenance ensures engine efficiency and reduces the chances of trouble. Always refer to the manual first, and don't guess the mileage.

Can the Subject One Test Be Taken Twice On-Site?

The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" clearly stipulates that the Subject One test can be taken twice on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a second attempt is allowed free of charge. If the second attempt is also unsuccessful, the Subject One test for that day is terminated, and the applicant must wait ten days before scheduling another test. Subject One, also known as the Subject One theory test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer and has a time limit of 45 minutes. To pass the Subject One test, a score of 90 out of 100 is required. The test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject One test content includes: driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject One test precautions: During the test, candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the test room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the test room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned station, find your seat, and begin the test. Ensure the camera is properly aligned and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is allowed on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. An unsigned report is considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject One test. Each test allows one retake if the initial attempt is unsuccessful. If the retake is also unsuccessful, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject Two and Subject Three tests allow only five attempts each. Subject Two and Subject Three tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If the Subject Three safe driving knowledge test is unsuccessful, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driver's license test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test. Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge test. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject Four."

Is the Forklift Fully Liable for Road Accidents?

Whether a forklift is fully liable for road accidents depends on the actual circumstances. Relevant explanations are as follows: Brief Introduction: Forklifts are not allowed on public roads and can only operate within designated areas of a facility. Driving a forklift on public roads is illegal, but being involved in an accident does not automatically mean the forklift bears full responsibility; the specific details of the accident must be considered. In determining liability for traffic accidents, the focus is on identifying any illegal actions by both parties involved. Any party found to have committed illegal actions will bear corresponding responsibility. Additional Information: According to Article 99, Clause 8 of the "Special Equipment Safety Supervision Regulations" and the Special Equipment Catalog, forklifts are classified as internal factory vehicles under special equipment and are not permitted on roads outside the facility.

What does the vehicle warning indicator symbol mean?

Here is the explanation of the warning light symbols: Oil pressure warning light on: Indicates that the engine oil pressure or level is too low. Water temperature indicator light on: Indicates that the coolant temperature is too high or the level is too low. Battery light on: Indicates low battery voltage, insufficient engine power generation, or no power generation. Engine fault light on: It may be a mechanical fault or circuit fault, and immediate action is required. Below is the extended information on related content: Brake system fault light: When the parking brake is pulled up, this light turns yellow; if this light turns red while driving, it indicates that the brake fluid level in the reservoir is too low or there is a fault in the braking system. Check as soon as possible. Low oil pressure indicator light: If this light comes on, it is very likely that the oil pressure is too low, and you should not continue driving. Turn off the engine and check the engine oil level. If the engine oil level is found to be normal but the indicator light remains on or flashes, do not start the engine rashly, as this may damage the engine.
