When is the first maintenance generally due for the Volkswagen Bora?
1 Answers
The first maintenance for the new Volkswagen Bora is due within six months or 7,500 kilometers, whichever comes first. The first service follows the principle of whichever condition is met first. However, it is advisable to perform the first maintenance earlier because during the break-in period, the engine cylinders undergo a wear-in process, resulting in more metal particles in the engine oil and oil filter, and the oil gets dirty faster. Continuing to use the vehicle under these conditions can accelerate engine wear. Below are some relevant details: 1. The new Bora comes with a two-year or 60,000-kilometer warranty (whichever comes first). For the 1.6L model, it is recommended to perform routine maintenance every 15,000 kilometers, while the 1.4TSI model should be serviced every 10,000 kilometers, including oil and oil filter replacement. 2. Within 60,000 kilometers, both models are recommended to have the fuel filter, cabin air filter, and spark plugs replaced every 30,000 kilometers, and the transmission fluid replaced every 60,000 kilometers. However, there is a difference in the replacement intervals for the air filter. The 1.6L model is recommended for replacement every 30,000 kilometers, while the 1.4TSI model should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers.
