My van was towed to a shop in town this morning. We'll see what they find after they replace the belts. They'll use the Gates belts recommended here. Regarding the failed belts: My belts were installed by a reputable VW shop in California last December, only about 10,000 miles ago. So not that old. (I didn't note the brand.) It's the alternator/water pump belt that has obvious damage. The power steering belt looks undamaged, so I hope it just got thrown when the other belt did. I'll keep the latter as a spare and lay in a new belt as a spare, too.
