You could do it yourself...

Have a look at this thread on VWVortex  http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1264409

I would guess the parts would come to around £100 - £130 from vw, but they are all listed in the thread so you can easily get some prices.

500 quid is a good price.
Changing the chains involves removing the gearbox. Having done one outside my old house, i don't recommend it !  :laugh:
