    Honda Gas Mowers Still Available

    Your earlier Hondas may have burned oil, but not likely from abuse. These engines used a cast iron oil control ring that did not hold up.

    VW timng belt change Age vs KMs

    My 2000 Beetle 1.8 has gone 15 years, & 90,000 KMs since the timing belt was changed by PO at an Indy shop. VW says 100,000 miles regardless of age to make a change. VW forums say to disregard the VW recommendation and do it sooner. Anyone knowledgeable in this area care to comment?
