Gina, you asked:

<< my 85 Vanagon GL has about 175,000 on it and ive added the last 40k on
myself.  i dont have any history on the van before 1995.  do the timing
belts let go at any particular interval (sorry if this is a dumb
question) and if it does, what are the chances of damage to the engine?
>>

   No belt...timing chain instead, and it's not a part of the maintenance
schedule.
