Oops missed the obvious - the size on the Bora is most certainly 225/45R17 and I have always been a Pirelli user on this car and my previous couple. That was when Avon Turbo Speeds became unavailable...
I am curious what has been the experiences of other 4 Motion owners with tyres?
I have had my 4 Motion from new (200,000 km ago) and have always run Pirelli tyres P Zero Nero & Rosso and the...
Yet another report on the Bora 4 Motion. Currently the speedometer reads 182,000 kms since purchase new in July 2003. In that time the Dog has, finally, replaced brake pads and front disks (approx....
Sorry for the delay in replying but have been somewhat busy.
Total weight would be in the order of approx 850 - 900 kg - tows easily. I built the trailer as light as possible considering it was...
Yeah, that would have been me. Red Bora, red trailer with a grey canopy. I would have been up in the pit area with the Mallock (black and yellow). If you see me there drop by and say hello.
G’day all,
Another update on the mighty 4 motion. The Dog just returned from a trip to Perth exploring the south west of WA.
Covered 9,100 km in total, 7,590 km towing an A type van (loaded...
1. Not a lot of dirt. Mostly bitumen, some very narrow and rough but no real problems so long as you give the road trains a wide berth. Some of our side trips (without the van) were dirt and gravel...
The Dog has just returned from a 5 week touring holiday in the Bora 4 Motion travelling from Melbourne, Griffith, Cobar, Bourke, Cunnamulla, Charleville, Tambo, Blackall, Barcaldine, Longreach,...
Yes, I'd like a workshop manual for the 4 Motion also!
I've seen them for the other Bora models BUt not the 4 motion. :(
Thanks for that. I have sent off a query to Brian asking about one to fit the 4 motion.
Congratulations!
Judging by mine you will be exceedingly pleased with your new toy.
Personally I think they look better without the spoiler. When I ordered mine I went through the option list...
As I am intending to seriously attack the outback next year in the Bora and knowing that ground clearance is not the Bora strong point I am in need of a sump guard.
Some where out the waterpumper...
The kms seem low for a 2001 model but that, if genuine, is a good thing.
I have found that apart from services and tyres there have been virtually no maintenance costs.
My 2003 4 Motion now has...
Wah! No marker for the mighty Bora!
:(
Believe me it was not loyalty to genuine VW parts that made me pay $60 a pair. Rather it was the fact that my Bora (2003) has wiper blades in a fancy housing which may have, or may not have, been...
Yea truly it is I, Boraboy, reincarnated as JY Dog due to the fact that I had changed my e mail address and could no longer access this illustrious site! Foolish old curmudgeon!
However that is...
