Remember the fight the other day about TDI timing belts?

I found a write up of the two procedures.
A3: http://www.tdiclub.com/articles/A3-TimingBelt/ - Jetta through '99.5
A4: http://pics2.tdiclub.com/pdf/a4timingbelt.pdf - Later Jetta and all Beetles

This explains (in detail!) the difference between my estimate that it should 
cost around $400 for a timing belt and water pump and another lister's (Hans?) 
experience of paying $800 for same. The later cars require the engine to be 
lifted to fit the belt by among other hoops to be jumped through. I'm very 
disappointed in VW for this one, they clearly should have used a chain.
