Bora 4motion models.

[curtis715]

Been looking around everywhere and i cant seem to find the exact differences between the 4motion, 4motion sport and the oettinger. My understanding is that there all the same mechanically. Is this correct? Is there a list of the cosmetic changes between the models? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

mechanicly they are all identical the only diffrances were cosmetic , things like spoilers grills, wheels and pedals

Volkswagen Announces Bora V6 4Motion Sport - AutoWeb News


Later Sport models from about 2003 which lost the hoop style headrests didnt have the sport logo on the seats, I believe that was also the time the switch to the BDE engine was made

Im not so shore as mine is a 2003 and has the full headrests and the bde engine whilst not beimg a sport on the options sticker in the boot it says bora v6 highline ? so yeah but yeah later models definatley got the full headrests and stuff like that

what is bde engine ?

i've heard the seats in the 2003+ models are firmer, more like the GTI, than the 01 models.... can't confirm this as i've never sat in a 03 model

i thought the seats changed at 2001.5?
but generally as above the differents are valances and grilles, pedals and so on. not much really..

I cant confirm woth the seats as ive never been in a 2001 or yeah but in mine the seats are preety firm also with the bde i think the diffrance to other vr6 24v's is the exhaust cam timing lobe , as when i was working on mine i noticed that most vr6 24v rebuild guides had diffrent ones ? but yeah cant realy bee to shore as this is my first vr6 so im just going of my own one :\

2003 4motion .. Not sport ( says highline )

One thing that changed, and I don't know when (possibly MY2002) is the clutch.
I had a 2001 that had a very heavy hydraulic clutch, just like in the Golf VR6. My brother has one (also 2001) that has the same heavy clutch. I test drove another one I was looking at that was supposed to be a 2001 model as well, but it had a very light clutch - maybe they went from hydraulic to cable-actuated?

As far as I know, the running gear is the same across all of the V6's (V6, Sport and Oettinger) - they all have the same power, and I believe it's just cosmetic details that differ.
