The importance of checking the engine carefully during servicing.

Model: Audi Q5 MK 2, 80A - Years 2017-2025
Part: Timing belt

In this video we see the importance of checking the maintenance, especially after 50,000 km, the functionality of the timing belt. In the case illustrated, for the Audi Q5, the timing belt is scheduled to be changed every 7 years or 180,000 kilometers, but when the 65,000 km maintenance was done, the workshop noticed that the water pump was leaking: It is indeed very important not to limit yourself to changing the oil and the filter, but to visually check the entire engine: if the leak had not been noticed, the user would soon have found themselves facing a very serious breakdown, which would have irreparably damaged the engine, with very high costs. Remember that rubber gaskets wear out even if the car is used little, in fact, perhaps they wear out more.
