Where is the water temperature gauge of the new Bora?

The water temperature gauge of the new Bora is located in the LCD display in the middle of the instrument panel. When the water temperature warning light on the instrument panel comes on, it is not advisable to continue driving. You can stop the car and wait for the water temperature to drop before driving to a service station for inspection and repair. More information is as follows: 1. The normal operating temperature of the new Bora's radiator is 90°C. When the car engine is running normally, it requires a certain operating temperature. Too high or too low is not conducive to the normal operation and performance of the engine. On the other hand, the heat generated by the engine is difficult to meet the demand with conventional air cooling, so water cooling is widely used in car engines. The function of the cooling system is to keep the engine operating within the most favorable temperature range to improve engine power and reduce engine wear and fuel consumption. Too high or too low temperature will have adverse effects on the engine's operation. 2. If the water temperature warning occurs during high-speed driving, you should pull over safely, but do not turn off the engine immediately. Instead, let it idle for two or three minutes, open the engine hood, and then call for assistance. Because when the water temperature warning occurs, the engine is running at high speed, and a large amount of heat generated by the engine has not been dissipated. Therefore, it is necessary to let the water temperature drop slightly while idling to minimize the damage caused by high temperature to the engine.
I've been driving my new Bora for several years, and the water temperature gauge is right on the dashboard in front of the driver's seat, very easy to locate. Look at that instrument cluster section – there's usually a thermometer icon or digital display on the left or middle, specifically indicating the engine coolant temperature. During normal driving, the temperature typically stays around 90°C; if the needle suddenly spikes, you should be cautious as it might indicate low coolant level or fan failure, signaling engine overheating risk. I once experienced slightly higher temperature during summer traffic jams – immediately pulled over to check coolant level and topped up with distilled water to solve it. For regular maintenance, don't forget to inspect the cooling system. Coolant should be replaced every six months, and using antifreeze in winter gives extra peace of mind. After all, engine overheating can damage internal components with costly repairs, so make it a habit to frequently glance at the temperature gauge – it's both safe and cost-effective.
