Cambelt - DIY or garage?

[TDi_B5]

Right then, with my new Arosa on the drive way its time to think about a cambelt service. I can't find any reference to the cambelt being changed. I'm planning to call the garages that the car has been to and find out what was done. If not, I think it'll be cambelt kit and waterpump time!

Now, I've done a fair bit of car stuff, I did all my own servicing on the Passat, changed numerous suspension arms, brakes etc but have never attempted a cambelt. Therefore when I had the Passat it went into a VW/Audi specialist to have the cambelt & waterpump changed. And would you believe it....they timed it up wrong and it took 10 months to convince the garage that they had done it wrong. This then led to a series of problems with the engine including two bend valves and a misfire and hence the purchase of the Arosa!

So as you can imagine, I'm reluctant to take the car to a garge, if a so-called 'specialist' can cock it up, I dread to think what could happen elsewhere. So who has changed a cambelt on a 1.4 8v Arosa engine? Any advice, tips etc, is anyone willing to do the work even?!

Does anyone know if the mk4 polo haynes manual covers the 1.4 APQ engine? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, I'm in Southampton if you can recommend anyone/anywhere to get it done. Parts are no more than £60 which seems pretty reasonable.

Thanks all.
