Cam belt should be changed every 60,000 miles, although some peope at VW tried to tell me last year that it's actually every 40,000 miles.

It'd be the frist thing I changed if I were you; if it goes, bye bye car  :sad:

Don't cost much, my main dealer did mine for £130 all in IIRC. Which was about £50 cheaper than the independent specialists in the area.
