henri1 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 hello, I've bought a used Bora TDI few weeks ago. has anyone got an overview of what fuses are necessary ?? And how many Ampere they must have ? There are a few fuses missing in the fuse box. (e.g. Key) But everything used to work well at the beginning. Then the interiour light, automatic windows and key remote didn't work. I've changed the fuse for the interiour light only (10 Amp) and EVERYTHING was working perfectly again..... for about 20 minutes... Then the fuse blew up again... What can I do? Was the 10 Amp fuse the wrong one ? Do I need to put fuses in the empty slots in the fuse box? (And I didn't find a fuse for the electric windows at all...) Thanks.

Rustynuts Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 There should be a map inside the door where the fuses are which tells you how big the fuses should be for each application. Oversizing a fuse to make it work could set fire to your new car! Not all the fuse holders will be in use, it depends on the model of your car and the specification.

henri1 Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 well, the little map inside the door says only which fuse (e.g. lamps, keys, mirrors, etc) has to go in wich slot. but this map and neither the manual say how many ampere these fuses must have ! Thats why I'm trying to find out what I need ! Its a Bora 1.9 TDI, 2002 i think. Any other ideas ? any other internet sources ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmark Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 There is a 30A fuse [F37] on the relay plate which feeds the central locking & electric windows. That may be it...? Buy a haynes manual, it's got a reasonable list and diagram of the fuses plus wiring diagrams.....the latest one (4169 Blue) covers 2001 to 2003 (X to 53) Golfs & Boras cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobby Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 This is a guess, but are all the listed faults you have operated through the comfort control module?? Could it be the dreaded pollen filter seal/ drain blockage problem. If its all wet down below , it could be causing the fuses to blow when you drive and the water is moving about Only a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
