What should be paid attention to during the first maintenance of Bora?
2 Answers
Matters needing attention during the first maintenance of Bora are as follows: 1. Remember the time or mileage of the first maintenance clearly. 2. Take the maintenance record manual to record the specific situation of the first maintenance. This manual should be carried with the car and will be used for future maintenance. 3. Start the maintenance inspection with the lights to see if the low beam, high beam, fog lights, etc. can be turned on normally and whether there is any abnormal brightness. 4. Then check the engine oil level and the quality of the oil. If the oil quality deteriorates, even if it is not time to change the oil, the oil should be changed immediately. 5. Next, check the bottom of the engine and transmission to see if there are any damages or oil leaks.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I remember taking my Bora for its first maintenance check with extra care. First, make sure to book an appointment in advance with an authorized 4S dealership—don't procrastinate, as it's generally recommended around the 5,000-kilometer mark. Bring along the owner's manual and vehicle registration, as the staff will replace the factory-installed engine oil and oil filter, which is crucial for protecting a new engine. I’d also advise keeping an eye on their inspection process, covering basics like tire pressure, brake responsiveness, and headlight brightness—small issues tend to crop up after the break-in period. After the first service, your maintenance records begin, which are vital for future warranty claims. Avoid cutting corners by going to a roadside shop to save money—it could lead to headaches later. I’ve seen friends skip this step, only to watch their car’s condition deteriorate and end up spending more on engine repairs. In short, ask a few technical questions and learn some basic inspection know-how—it’ll make driving much smoother.
