What Transmission Does the Bora Car Use?
1 Answers
"The Bora's transmission brands are Aisin and Volkswagen DSG transmissions. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the highest market share globally. The transmission for the Volkswagen Bora 1.6L is a Tiptronic six-speed automatic manual transmission, specifically the Aisin AQ250 model. The Bora utilizes three types of transmissions: a 5-speed manual transmission, a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The automatic manual transmission is essentially a traditional AT or CVT transmission with added manual shifting functionality, designed to enhance the driving pleasure of automatic vehicles. The dual-clutch transmission (Dual Clutch Transmission, DCT) differs from conventional automatic transmission systems. It is based on a manual transmission but operates as an automatic, offering the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic, while also providing uninterrupted power output. When using the Bora's transmission daily, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for extended periods. Prolonged intervals between oil changes can damage internal components such as bearings and the transmission housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can cause the transmission to overheat and may result in a jolt when shifting back into D gear. Never shift into D/R gear before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers, aiming for smooth operation, may shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can severely damage the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding and other faults. Refrain from frequently using D gear to climb steep slopes. Automatic transmission vehicles can overheat under high loads or may shift up too early, leading to insufficient power for climbing. In such cases, using manual mode to limit lower gears or switching to sport mode can help protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in N gear, rather than being towed directly with a tow rope or similar method."
