From what i've seen, 1.8T cambelt is a fairly involved job.
Certainly more difficult than on a mk3 gti.

Had mine done last week 1.8 mk4 cost 4 hours at £35 an hour for belt, tensioners water pump fitted plus vat just over £160 I supplied the cambelt kit and pump had a good look round before hand and this was average price.

Fair play, Thats right enough.
