interference engines... all makes...

[Aaron Jongbloedt]

Well the thing is that the ABA (2.Ol 8v odbI&II) is kindof an interference
motor....yes i know that seems odd...it is a yes or no question.  When the
belt goes, there is about a 25% chance of breaking sh!t.  On the new mkIV
models (1999.5 and newer) the t.belt interval is at 100k!!
