What to Do When the Bora Key's Long Press Doesn't Control the Windows?

The solution to the issue where the Bora key's long press doesn't control the windows is: It might be due to the failure of the one-touch window control function, which requires reinitialization of the function. It is recommended to contact a 4S shop. The working principle of the one-touch control key: The key emits a weak radio wave, which is received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit identifies the signal code, and then the system's actuator (motor or electromagnetic coil) executes the response of opening or closing the lock. Taking the Bora 2021 200TSI DSG Comfort Smart Link Edition as an example, it is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 116PS and a maximum power of 85kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've encountered this issue before with my Bora, which suddenly stopped working when it was fine before. Don't rush to the repair shop just yet; there are a few things you can check yourself. Is the key fob battery dead? Try replacing it with a new one. Then check if the window settings were accidentally disabled—some cars require reactivation. In my case, I simply held down the driver's side window switch, raised it to the top for 5 seconds, then lowered it all the way down for another 5 seconds, and that fixed it. If it still doesn't work, it might be a fault in the body control module, and you'll need to visit a 4S shop for a computer diagnostic on the wiring—this isn't something you can fix yourself. With summer coming, this feature is really handy; once fixed, you can remotely lower the windows for ventilation.

I'm an auto mechanic and have encountered many Bora owners reporting this issue. First, check if the key remote functions properly. If other functions are normal, focus on the windows. It's recommended to start by resetting the initialization: after starting the car, hold the window switch down for 3 seconds, then up for 3 seconds. If that doesn't work, check the window-related fuses in the fuse box, located under the dashboard on the driver's side. Module failure is quite common, especially in older cars where poor contact is likely. Another often overlooked cause: interference from wiring modifications when installing a dashcam. Finally, check the data stream of the door control unit—this job is best left to professional equipment for peace of mind.
