What???
There is no timing chain in the WBX motor.
The cam and crank are direct gear drive.


You guys really need to start reading more.
The Bentley is still the best resource for knowledge.

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.
