When the Bora is unlocked, the fuel tank cap can be opened by simply pressing it. When the car is locked, the fuel tank cap is also locked. There is no separate switch for the fuel tank cap in the Bora. The fuel tank capacity of the new Volkswagen Bora is 55 liters. According to national regulations, the nominal capacity of a car's fuel tank is 95% of its rated capacity. It is not recommended to fill the fuel tank completely, especially in summer. It is advisable to fill it up to two-thirds of its capacity. The Bora is the first independently designed model by FAW-Volkswagen, equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.8T turbocharged engine. The dimensions of the car are 4523mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1467mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm.

When I first bought a car, I didn't know where the fuel tank cap was opened either. Later, I found it's quite simple and convenient in the Bora. Sitting in the driver's seat, look down at the floor area near your left foot. There's a small plastic lever or handle with a fuel pump icon engraved on it. Pull it up or press it (the method may vary slightly depending on the model), and the fuel tank cap on the rear side of the car body will automatically unlock and pop open. Then you can get out and unscrew it to refuel. If there's no response, don't force it - it might be stuck or clogged with dust. Just gently spray some rust remover. Remember to check that the lever area is clean before each refueling to prevent sticking, and ensure the cap is tightly closed after refueling to prevent leaks. Once you get into the habit, driving becomes much easier. New drivers will get the hang of it after trying a few times - my car has had no issues in three years of use.

What to Do When Rain Gets in Through Open Car Windows?

You can install a rain guard above the car window, allowing you to open the window slightly without letting rain in. However, if the rain is too heavy or the window is opened too wide, rain may still enter. Otherwise, if the rubber seal is not fitted properly, it is likely to leak during rain. After water enters the car, you must remove all the seats and wipe all the wiring harnesses and connectors on the chassis. Then, reinstall everything back in place.

How to Deal with the Diesel Vehicle Exhaust Light Being On?

Automobile exhaust is the waste gas produced during vehicle use, which not only directly harms human health but also has profound impacts on the environment we live in. Generally, the vehicle malfunction light being on is mostly caused by the fuel emission system. Turn off the vehicle three times and then restart it to observe whether the malfunction light remains on. If it is still on, it is necessary to promptly go to the shop to check the fault code to determine whether it is an engine problem or a sensor malfunction.

How to Replace the Electronic Parking Brake Button on the Boyue?

Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transportation tools, or machinery. The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine, which generates a braking torque under external force. First, adjust the ignition switch to the OK position and connect the fault diagnostic instrument. Then, open the solenoid valve to release the pressure from the wheel cylinder, and finally, open the solenoid valve.

What is the normal cylinder pressure?

6 megapascals, which is 6 kilograms per square centimeter. Imbalanced cylinder pressure can cause engine knocking and loss of vehicle power, and in severe cases, it can directly lead to engine failure. Cylinders can be categorized into reciprocating linear type and reciprocating swing type. Reciprocating linear cylinders are further divided into single-acting cylinders, double-acting cylinders, diaphragm cylinders, and double-impact cylinders, among others. The conditions for testing cylinder pressure are: 1. Ensure the car battery has sufficient charge during testing; 2. The engine temperature should be at a normal level, as excessively high engine temperature can increase the pressure inside the engine cylinder; 3. Remove the vehicle's fuel pump fuse when measuring cylinder pressure; 4. Remove the spark plugs when measuring cylinder pressure.

Can the car paint color be changed?

Car paint color can be changed, but it requires filing for a color change. The specific methods are: 1. After repainting, take the vehicle to the vehicle management office for photography and inspection of the color change; 2. Fill out the motor vehicle modification registration application form and submit the change request; 3. Update the motor vehicle registration certificate and reissue the vehicle license. Car paint is a protective film sprayed on the vehicle, a type of coating that makes the car body less susceptible to corrosion. The car paint process mainly consists of four layers: the first is the electrophoretic paint, primarily for rust prevention; the second is the primer, mainly for UV and stone chip resistance, and to prepare the base for the color paint; the third is the color paint layer, mainly for aesthetics; the fourth is the clear coat layer, mainly to give the car body a glossy finish and resist stone chips.
