1999 volkswagen Bora reviews

Volkswagen Bora 1.9 TDi 110 SE 1999

I bought my ’V’ Reg Bora 1.9 TDi 110 SE out of England in June 2000, the car was registered in December 1999. It’s been a fantastic car up until recently, with 128k on the clock the turbo has died on me, the battery can hold it’s charge, there is a knocking noise coming from the front driver side wheel, I had to fit 2 new rear shock absorbers and the central locking system (That has been messed up for ages). Another thing I found is that the build quality isn’t the best. The dash rattles a lot and there seems to be a jingle coming from under the dash somewhere. Lots of panels have come un-done and the seat fabric stitching has all split leaving exposed padding and foam. The car was fine but it’s near time for it to meet the scrapyard. It’s my work car so I really only use it to drive 20 miles per day to and from work.
