Which engine?
If its a 1.8/1.8T you'd be looking at around £450+VAT at the dealer - maybe
slightly more.
If you are in the South east (of the UK), www.wheelbase.uk.com will do it
for a bit less and give a good service.
DIY will cost you around £225 in parts for the belt, tensioner, pulley and
idler pulley and then the AC Belt, the Serpantine belt and the PAS/Waterpump
belt - you'd be mad not to change the 3 V belts while you were in there. Its
a long job but not especially difficult - you have to pull the front of the
car apart.

I don't know - can't imagine it would be significantly less. Suggest you
riung the nearest VW dealer & ask - they usually have "menu" pricing for
cambelts & should just be able to give you a figure. Make sure that it
includes changing the tensioners & rollers & also ask about the external
drive belts as well - might as well do 'em all while they are in there.
