Laceration causes almost always significant damage to the engine: breaking of pistons, valves, crankshaft, and sometimes even the water pump. Needless to say, in this case, the workshop bill dramatically rises to several thousand euros. That's why it is important to make sure to modify the mileage and dates set by the dealer to avoid any unpleasant surprises!
