Bora PD TDi - few niggles
Discussion
Evening all,
Am currently around a week and a half into ownership of my 'new' 03-plate, Bora TDi 130.
Hugely happy with it: comfortable as anything, except perhaps our old Volvo, pulls like a train when it needs to, and still averages 60mpg, despite some city stop-start stuff. Covered around 550 miles in combined little trips recently and barely used half a tank.
Chuffed.
Except a couple of things I could do with PH's collective wisdom on:
1. Car only came with 1 key: the switchblade main key, but it's tatty, and the loop for putting it on a keyfob has snapped, hence a loose car key in the pocket - bit risky as it's the only one. I'd rather avoid going through a VW dealer to sort out a replacement, and eBay is rife with keys that look right, but something shouts dodgy to me about them. Ideas for easiest/cheapest solution?
2. External temp sensor is duff, I think - no display on dash, just -.--°C
I'm told the sensor is just below the bumper on the offside, behind a grill, although that's a little vague. Any ideas would be great.
Other than that I can wholeheartedly recommend the car; being a Bora there's tons of bootspace, and they're cheaper to buy and insure than the Golf they share most of their being with.
Cheers
