Hi, you do not say the engine code as it must be taken into consideration for somme TDI built until 2001. After 2001MY-> replacement every 60.000miles and cambelt tensioner pulley must also be replaced, also while you there, replace the water pump and every bolt you take off. Get the whole cambelt kit from a vw dealer. You must take in consideration the way the car has been used. If its been used mainly in town with lots of stops and starts, that puts a lot of strain on the belt and should be taken into account as its wise to replace before its due. Hope this helps.
