What is the spark plug model used in the 2011 Bora?
2 Answers
The 2011 Bora uses spark plugs with the model number F7HER2BOM. Spark plugs, commonly known as sparking plugs, function by discharging the pulsed high-voltage electricity sent from the high-voltage wire, breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. The main types include: standard spark plugs, extended insulator spark plugs, electrode spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, surface-gap spark plugs, etc. The 2011 Bora is a compact car under FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4540 mm in length, 1775 mm in width, and 1467 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610 mm. In terms of power, the 2011 Bora is equipped with a naturally aspirated engine, which has a maximum power output of 77 kW and a maximum torque of 155 N·m.
During my time working at an auto repair shop, I encountered many cases where owners of 2011 Volkswagen Bora models needed spark plug replacements. This model typically uses NGK BKR6EKUB spark plugs, specifically designed for its 1.6L engine. Though spark plugs may seem like small components, when worn out they can cause engine shaking, unstable idling, and even significant fuel consumption increases. I often advised customers during inspections that regular replacement every 30,000 kilometers is crucial - excessive carbon buildup can otherwise impair ignition performance. The model number may vary depending on engine type, for instance, TSI versions might use Bosch F7HER2 plugs. Don't underestimate them - installing quality spark plugs improves throttle response and saves fuel costs. In daily driving, observing whether the vehicle starts smoothly serves as a good indicator of spark plug condition. Developing simple maintenance habits can extend your car's lifespan.
