i'd definitely pop the covers and take a look at the condition of the belt before assuming it needs doing....

7 years is the general max recommendation for the D2 timing belt.

Thats interesting, do you know roughly what happened with it and when?

Hopefully its all OK now
Seems to run OK but Ive not really been out in yet

Ive had a quote from a local VW/Audi specialist of £625 for the timing belt kit and waterpump supplied and fitted.
