Under the hood, on the left side of the radiator. Here are some relevant details: 1. Body dimensions: The Volkswagen Bora is a compact car with a body length of 4663mm, width of 1815mm, height of 1462mm, wheelbase of 2688mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. 2. Engine: The Volkswagen Bora is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 85kW at 5000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 200Nm between 2000 to 3500 rpm. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Bora, let me share some insights. The horn of the Volkswagen Bora is typically installed in the front engine compartment, more specifically, behind the radiator grille or beneath the inner side of the bumper. This design is quite clever, as it not only protects the horn from potential impacts but also allows the sound to project directly forward, ensuring that the honk is loud and clear to other vehicles. In the Bora model, it's common to find two horn units—one for high tones and one for low tones—both located in that area. If you're curious and want to take a look yourself, you might need to remove the plastic cover or shield in the engine compartment first; but be cautious, as the wiring is connected to the vehicle's electrical system, and tampering could lead to a short circuit or electric shock. The horn's position is relatively concealed but easy to locate. Last time I cleaned it, I noticed dust accumulation there could lead to rust, so I recommend cleaning it during each maintenance session to keep the electrical connections in good condition and extend its lifespan. If the horn stops working, first check the relevant fuse in the fuse box—usually located near the driver's side—before blaming the horn's position directly.
