Bora V6 4motion DIY Service

**kapowww** · 29-03-2012, 02:31 PM

I found a thread on this a while ago but seriously can't find it anymore! It's doing my head in..

Anyways I want to service my Bora on the weekend, so what exactly do I need to do this? I remember reading there are some odd sized bits and pieces I need to purchase but can't recall.

I guess I can order from ECStuning and wait till it comes in before doing anything...
This is what I plan on buying from ECS:

-Ignition Coil Pack - Set Of Six $137
-Oil Filter $9
-Magnetic Drain Plug With 10 Copper Washers $12
-36mm 6-point Oil Filter Socket - 3/8" Drive $15
-Spark Plugs - Set Of Six $65
+ $75 postage

EDIT: Don't worry, found it!

While I'm here anyone got a 36mm hex tool I can borrow in Melbourne? ECS is out of stock for a month..

how much is DIY all up ?

You might not need new sparkies... i just had a major service (95,000kms) and they said the sparks were fine.

also maybe add: haldex oil

i'll dig out the receipt let u know what else

Yeah sparks were changed at 95k so I've got maybe another 20k left in them. I bought them anyways for the future.

Just got my whole haldex changed over recently lol so don't need the oil changed.

My order from ECS was $338 for sparks, coil packs, oil filter, cabin filter, air filter and sump plug.

I had a cool pack die recently and they were never changed even tho they were supposedly recalled

Not sure that the Bora v6 were in the campaign for coil replacement!!! i dont think they were....

The bora came with a coil pack on earlier ones and individual coils later on. Make sure you're has the individual coils specially if its near 2001.

Yep mine's got the separate ones.. I should have said "coils-on-plugs" instead of coil pack. That's the 24V VR6 right?

I was told by a member here a while back that they were recalled in the Boras but cannot find much on the web. Any point in changing them now? Car's done 134,000km. Methinks I should but perhaps someone has compelling reasons not to?

Te BDE motor had individual coil packs the AUE or AQP had single coil pack.

But im sure there was no campaign....

Yeah thats all good, I decided to change mine only to find out i got the coil pack. I think the recall was for the coil pack not the coil on plugs. In the end its only what $120, Id do it for piece of mind.
