What is the normal tire pressure for a Volkswagen Bora?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure range for a Volkswagen Bora is 2.4-2.5bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar in winter and decreased by 0.1bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard regulations and requirements. The Bora uses an indirect tire pressure monitoring system. This type of tire pressure monitoring device does not display the tire pressure but will only alert 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 against the tire valve to measure and read the value, and remember to replace the valve cap after measuring. Generally, a tire pressure above 2.8bar is considered too high, and a tire pressure below 2.0bar is considered too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates localized wear of the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; causes excessive stretching and deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causes heavy steering and deviation, posing safety risks; increases movement of various tire parts, leading to abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, leading to tire bead damage and abnormal wear. Puncture resistance decreases. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and blowouts. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure. Usually, it alerts when the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are needed. Tire pressure monitoring not reset. After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the indicator light to come on. Simply reset the tire pressure in this case. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If damaged during driving, it will trigger the tire pressure warning light. For sensor damage, only a complete replacement is possible. The normal tire pressure for a Volkswagen Bora is 2.3-2.4bar. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates localized wear of the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causes heavy steering and deviation, posing safety risks; increases movement of various tire parts, leading to abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, leading to tire bead damage and abnormal wear. Puncture resistance decreases. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and blowouts, leading to tire bursts. In summer, tire pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to avoid high-temperature blowouts.
