For the 2014 Volkswagen Bora, refrigerant is generally added through the universal port on the low-pressure pipe. Refrigerant: Also known as coolant or refrigerant. It is the medium substance used in various heat engines to complete energy conversion. In automobiles, it is mainly divided into two types: environmentally friendly 134a and non-environmentally friendly R12. Function of automotive air conditioning refrigerant: To reduce the temperature of the air inside the car. It is the working substance that continuously circulates in the refrigeration system and achieves refrigeration through changes in its own state. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the cooled medium (such as water or air) and vaporizes in the evaporator, then transfers heat to the surrounding air or water and condenses in the condenser.

As a car enthusiast, I often help friends with air conditioning issues. The refrigerant charging port for the 2014 Volkswagen Bora is typically located on the right side of the engine compartment, near the radiator or air conditioning compressor. Specifically, after opening the hood, look towards the front on the driver's side and follow the low-pressure air conditioning line. You'll find a port with a blue dust cap—that's the low-pressure charging port. Air conditioning lines are divided into high-pressure and low-pressure lines, with the low-pressure line usually clearly marked and easy to identify. Don't confuse it with the high-pressure line, which has a red cap—it's dangerous to touch. Having repaired cars several times myself, I find the Bora's port relatively easy to locate. However, I recommend wearing gloves during the operation, ensuring the car is turned off to avoid gas leaks or electrical system damage. If you can't find it, it might be covered in dust—just wipe it clean to reveal the port. Before adding refrigerant, remember to check the system's seal, or all your effort will be wasted. This directly affects the air conditioning's cooling performance—if not done properly, driving in summer will be miserable. If you're really unsure, it's better to visit a professional shop—it saves time and effort.

First, you need to check how deep the scratch is. If it's relatively shallow, you can simply polish it, and the car body will look as good as new after polishing. Use sandpaper to smooth out the scratch. If the scratch is deep but hasn't exposed the primer, you can use sandpaper to level the scratch and then apply wax.
