VW Bora 1.6 SE ***SOLD***
Bought a new car now so it's gotta go:
VW Bora 1.6 8v SE
Nice SE Spec including:
Air Con
Front & Rear Electric Windows
VW 6 Disc In Dash Changer
Electric Heated Wing Mirrors
Auto Dim Rear Mirror
ABS
Trip Computer
Cup Holders
I MOT it in July when I changed the following parts:
Front Shock Absorbers and Top Mounts
Radiator
Tie Rods (Pair)
Tie Rod Ends (Pair)
Bottom Arms (Pair)
ARB Links (Pair)
Both Inner CV Joints
4 New Tyres (Kumho not cheap rubbish)
When I got the car I fitted at set of H&R lowering springs as it had the ride height of a 4x4, the springs where £180 not cheap horrible ones the ride quality is still very smooth but now looks alot better.
Car has done 133000 miles which sounds alot (and it probably is) but the engine is absolutly mint.
I changed the cambelt and water pump @ 110000 miles.
When I bought the Bora from Egdingtons Dealer it had endless problems with the gearbox which is common fault in the end they put a recon box in with the uprated bits to stop it from breaking again done by Longbridge GearBox.
I also changed the Clutch on Wednesday so pretty much everything that goes wrong with this car has been changed.
Bodywork wise it has a dent/crease in the drivers door (which you can probably make out in the photos) and a dent in the nsr quarter just above the rear bumper it's a loso scuffed the bumper too (i'll try and get a photo of that in the daylight tomorrow.)
MOT July 2011
Tax November 2011
£800
Feel ring to me on 07881 624350

been looking for a bora for a while now, but always looked at the diesels for economy, never really looked into the 1.6. what are they like economy wise, and also are they a bit gutless? dont want a rocket ship, but dont want a barge to drive daily lol

On the 50 mile round trip to Coventry today all duel carriageway and motorway I got 38.2mpg
It's not that bad speed wise you can do a ton in it without feeling like you thrashing the knackers off it and it's nippy enough off the mark. But I don't hammer it at all i'm just about mpg with my daily drive I save the 8mpg for the weekend in the Cossie
Plus just noticed I put 12 months tax on it November not 6 months so it's even more of a bargain.
