This time, the maintenance of my Bora is about two thousand kilometers ahead of schedule. Before writing about this maintenance, I would like to start with the novel coronavirus epidemic.
In 2020, the epidemic of COVID-19 was rampant due to human predation and illegal trade in wild animals. in the process of epidemic prevention, China mobilized tens of thousands of retrograde people, “angel in white medical soldiers, police uncles of the people’s guards, and soldiers of the Chinese people’s Liberation Army.” in the face of the virus, they work hand in hand to fight the pneumonia virus.
And I, because of work, spent this long time in traffic jams every day, I did not hear complaints, because everyone is supporting the work of Angels in White, I hope future generations can remember! Human beings are inseparable from nature, so don’t destroy nature, or it will be eaten back by nature sooner or later. I hope that after this epidemic, people can deeply remember that “it is everyone’s responsibility to protect nature!”
I hope that in the days to come, all people in China and the whole world will stop killing, illegally buying and selling and eating wild animals, which is an insurmountable red line!

Well, this is a simple spray can, it turns out that it is just a tool that people use to water flowers, but today, in the past two or three months, we, who are fighting outside, have been using it to protect ourselves, thanks to the inventor of the spray can!
In addition, the pass of the community, the property of the community will go door to door to apply for a pass, limit the time to go out, and check the body temperature every day.
It’s so foggy.
There was nothing to do during this period of time, because the work was not very busy because of the epidemic, so I found a well-ventilated place during the lunch break and carefully checked the car.
The odometer is almost ready for maintenance before you know it.
Take a closer look and find that the odometer has arrived at 49520km, speechless. It’s time for maintenance again. Pinch means to calculate that the last maintenance mileage is 45200, running almost 4300 kilometers so, think about it carefully, forget it, maintain it in advance! After all, there are frequent traffic jams during this period of time, and a traffic jam will run for about two or three hours at idle speed. Change the oil ahead of time.
It is said that Jinhu tires are cheap and can’t be given to others in almost three years.
The tires are almost three years old, and they are full of fine lines. Let’s make do with them first. It’s almost time to change it one year.![]()
One more.
Check the brake disc, touch it carefully or have lines, after all, after running for a long time, there must be wear and tear
The other side brake disc
Check the brake pads. It is said that the brake pads are often driven at a uniform speed, and the brake pads are not worn. I feel that they can be used for five or six years. They are still very thick.
The other side is fine, the car is almost three years old, it looks good, at least it’s clean.
Approximate maintenance
The next step is to make an appointment for maintenance, fiddle with mobile phones in the workshop, and send Wechat to make an appointment.![]()
Make an appointment for maintenance, fiddle with your cell phone in the car, and send a Wechat in advance to make an appointment.
The kilometer at the time of maintenance is 49551
Then the next day, take advantage of the 4S store someone on duty, can be about maintenance, it is said that there are few people a day, not many people are very good, early rough hair (start)!![]()
Take a picture before arriving at the store and record the mileage 49600km. The interval from the last maintenance is 3 months, the last maintenance mileage is about 45200, and the interval is 4400km. The reason is that it has been idling for more than a month, and the minimum idle speed is two hours, so the oil is changed in advance.
After 4S, I talked to the front desk briefly, went through some procedures, and then the car drove into the workshop, wearing masks and gloves, and after doing my own protection, I also followed in. Today, the whole maintenance workshop is very deserted. There were few people when I came. After the 4S technology master prepared the materials, he was ready to start.
While the master was putting the oil, I casually took a picture of the oil barrel, which is still the familiar original VW oil (processing filling, in line with the VW50200/50500 Volkswagen oil certification standard), spare number LN 052167 F4 7WH, my bucket is filled by Changchun Delun Chemical Co., Ltd., it is said that they are FAW Volkswagen, FAW Audi’s only designated Shell OEM supplier. It is said that the company has never sold FAW original packaging oil at 405 Zili Street, Luyuan District, Changchun City, Jilin Province. My friend told me that what this company does is Shell and light oil, and 7WH should only be used on Shell oil.
Illuminate our master and see if the oil is black. It’s always been like this. Gravity releases oil. Yeah! It is indeed dark enough, and it is estimated that it is also the state of idling for a long time during this period of time, resulting in the oil blackening so fast, is this the main reason? After all, idling for a long time produces too much carbon accumulation!
Oh, yeah! When our master came out, after all the oil was clean, we screwed the oil pan and strained the machine, put down the hoist, and the oil was poured out in one word: inverted!
And a picture of antifreeze.
Well, I have to change the antifreeze this time. Bora will soon be three years old, and it is also because there are signs of increasing impurities in the antifreeze recently, so take advantage of this maintenance opportunity to change it quickly, otherwise it will take a long time, because the loss outweighs the gain when something goes wrong with the antifreeze. This change of antifreeze is scheduled to be 4 barrels, the actual use of 4.5L, three barrels, enough!
This is the antifreeze coming out from the bottom of the fan in front of the engine. It’s just warm. Can you see the feeling of steam? Antifreeze inside the impurities, because the phone shot is not clear, so this can not be seen, but it is indeed a lot!
Of course, you have to pay for the maintenance, and you have to pay for the white money as soon as possible.
This time, change the oil, filter, oil pan screws, antifreeze, plus the whole car inspection, after deducting 191 yuan of oil roll, consumption of 460 rice, expensive bar! There’s nothing you can do about it. Anyway, you can’t come here a few times a year.

Our master amused me when he read the list. Well, he will often come here later.![]()
Cut it! come on! Change the antifreeze once every three years to OK, usually I don’t come to you to spend money!
When you get home, do a check by yourself. The car is clean. That’s it.
Add: write more easily
1. Engine oil has been using Volkswagen original engine oil, although it is average, but fortunately it is not a fake.
2. If it were not for the antifreeze to the fixed number of years and too many impurities were found in it, I would not have changed it!
3. Check the entire vehicle that there are no bumps on the chassis, and there are no oil leaks or leaks.
4. Brake fluid has a water content of 1.5%. It can continue to be used. It is estimated that it will be replaced next year or the year after that. Let’s test it later!
5. The thickness of the brake pads is quite thick. Anyway, driving steadily at normal times. It runs almost at a constant speed of 70. There is no big wear and tear on the thickness
6. The battery power is 53%. In this cold weather, this is all. Continue to use it and change it when the power runs out.
7. I don’t know why the throttle opening has decreased, but it has changed from 3.9% to 2.7%. It has never been washed. This is good. I don’t need to wash it if I continue to open it.
8. The computer checks that there are no fault codes in the entire vehicle. After all, driving steadily, it is necessary to have no fault codes!![]()
9. Let’s not talk about the problem of abnormal brake sounds. Almost all original brake pads on Volkswagen cars do not sound.
10. The air filter element was taken apart and looked at it. It was very clean. It would be replaced after another 3,000 kilometers! The last change should have been at 42715km
11. The air conditioning filter element has been used since it was replaced with the 47000. It should be no problem, so I didn’t take it apart and have a look. I’ll talk about it when I have time!
12. The glass water is full. The wiper blade was replaced by one last time. It costs tens of yuan. I will make do with it until the rainy season comes before replacing it.
13. Write here first. If you can’t remember it, just record these…
