New Bora 4motion owner - what to look out for?

[dylan8]

end of the RH side stalk there is a up and down button/ button to the bottom of the stalk resets if held, press quickly once for swapping between trip 1 and 2

EDIT: as above, welcome! the is bora are a great car

I wouldn't recommend E10 fuel consumption will suffer and may do damage to 02 sensors, use at least premium 95RON. What i normally
do is use two tanks of 95 to one tank of 98 from the same service station this in my opinion can give a good blend.
As for the rattling noise if it go's away i would not worry use good oil though which allows good cold start lubrication. noise like this only
occurs for very short time until oil pressure builds up which should be matter of seconds. The white 4 motion Bora is rare and looks good.

Hey dude awsome choice on the bora wish mine was white,just one question guys is it my eyes but i think that has the front lip of a 2
litre right

[djorkboy]

That is interesting about the front lip and after looking at some pictures of other 4motions I think you may be right. Here are some closer pics of it.

So if this is a 2 litre lip, where do I get a 4motion one? Are they hard to find?

I also have to do something about those number plates, I hate the early black on white ones with a passion. I'm thinking of transferring my original white Euro style plates from my Jeep that just died.

yeah wrong lip
I dont know how much the 4 mo lip would cost new but theres a euro wrecker just off woodville rd ASV Euro Car Parts - European Auto Spares
i remember seeing a red and a black 4mo being wrecked a while back.you can ask them online see if they have one for you..
try matt at Camden GTI

So the actual bumper is fine (the white part) it's just the black lip at the bottom I need?

[gringo_54_oval]

yeah the bumpers are identical its just the black part lower lip the 2 litres have a shorter lip and the 4 mo has 3 or something inlets and it sits abit lower.
just fills the ground clearance a little more.
its no biggie

[Dr Haldex]

Very Nice indeed. I like the white.

[maxrob200]

Is it possible that the the lips changed for different MY years

[djorkboy]

My guess, from the damage to the front number plate, is that at some point the car has had a minor front end collision and when it was fixed they either ordered the wrong bumper+lip or sourced a second had one off a 2 litre.

Now that I know it's not right I really want to get the correct one.
