What is the normal tire pressure for a Bora?

[SamanthaRose]

The normal tire pressure range for a Volkswagen Bora is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and decreased by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. The Bora uses an indirect tire pressure monitoring system. This type of tire pressure monitoring device does not display the tire pressure but only alerts when the tire pressure is abnormal. To check the tire pressure, first prepare a tire pressure gauge, locate the position of the factory tire pressure label, press the tire pressure gauge onto the tire valve to measure and read the value, and remember to replace the valve cap after measurement. Generally, a tire pressure above 2.8 bar is considered too high, and a tire pressure below 2.0 bar is considered too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread of the tire, shortening its lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overextends the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increases the friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to a tire blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no seal on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure. Typically, the system alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset. After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system records the previous data, causing the indicator light to come on. Simply reset the tire pressure to resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors the tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it can trigger the tire pressure warning light. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the sensor with a new one.
