Where is the fuel tank cap switch on the all-new Bora?

The all-new Bora does not have a fuel tank cap switch. When the car is in the unlocked state, simply press down on the fuel tank cap to open it. The fuel tank cap will also lock automatically when the car is locked. If the Bora's fuel tank cap cannot be opened, you can access it from the trunk. Remove the liner covering the fuel tank in the trunk to reveal the fuel tank locking mechanism. There is a fuel tank cap release cable—just gently pull the cable to open the fuel tank cap. The Volkswagen New Bora has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, allowing for a driving range of approximately 600 kilometers. The 2020 Bora measures 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, 1473mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2688mm.

As a Bora owner, I've noticed that the fuel tank cap switch is located on the inner side of the driver's door panel, near the seat adjustment controls. You need to be seated in the driver's position, reach towards the left door frame, and feel for the small pull ring or button - a gentle tug will pop open the fuel cap, which is quite convenient and efficient. Always remember to turn off the engine before refueling for safety, and operate the switch gently to avoid damage from excessive force. I once had it jam due to improper operation, but regular dust cleaning and lubrication checks have since prevented recurrence. When refueling, be careful not to break the small tether on the fuel cap, and always tighten it properly after closing to prevent leaks. The design location is very user-friendly, allowing even beginners to adapt quickly. During routine vehicle maintenance, remember to briefly check if this switch mechanism operates smoothly - attentive care is key to prolonging its service life.

As a passionate Bora owner who loves sharing car tips, the fuel tank cap switch is conveniently located on a small button below the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel – just press it and the cap pops open effortlessly. When refueling, I prefer turning off the engine first as a safety precaution against any spark risks. The position follows Volkswagen's traditional design, so new drivers needn’t worry about locating it incorrectly. After the cap pops out, give it a gentle twist to open; post-refueling, ensure it’s tightly secured to prevent leaks. Always remember the golden safety rule: engine off when parked. Dust buildup around the cap may cause switch stiffness, but regular cleaning solves this. The thoughtful design details make for a smooth experience – highly recommend trying it and sharing your thoughts!

A veteran driver with decades of experience tried the new Bora's fuel tank cap switch - a manual pull ring inside the driver's door that opens with a simple tug. Key refueling tips: turn off the engine, operate gently for safety. Damaged caps are troublesome to repair - regular inspection, lubrication, and dust removal through simple maintenance can extend its lifespan.
