Rolled past 173k km on a 7 hour drive yesterday. Started it up this morning to move it and when I opened the hood I heard a faint but rhythmic "creaking" or "brushing" sound by the belts. Took a look at the serpentine and it looks like this:
I've never seen what a new belt looks like, but the difference in colour/pattern that you can see in about half of the belt looks like wear to me, is it? What's the interval for replacing these belts on the FSI engine, if any? Looks like a pretty simple DIY.
Thanks
