Faulty Ventilation System Leads to Major Engine Damage in Audi Q5: Mechanic Highlights Importance of Regular Maintenance

A Ukrainian auto repair shop, "Мережа VAG автосервісів," recently highlighted the importance of proper engine maintenance in a short video. The video features a detailed examination of pistons from an Audi Q5 2.0 TFSI engine that experienced significant damage due to a malfunctioning crankcase ventilation system. Despite having nearly 200,000 kilometers on the odometer, the pistons, after cleaning, showed surprisingly little wear beyond the damage caused by the ventilation issue. The shop's mechanic emphasized the critical role of regular maintenance checks and timely repairs to prevent costly engine problems. "Неробоча вентиляція - це смерть для двигуна," stated the mechanic, translating to, "A non-working ventilation system is death for the engine." This case serves as a reminder for all car owners to prioritize regular maintenance to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of their vehicles.
