my guess it is the same as the 2.0 TDI Sport. 60,000 miles or every 4 years, what ever comes first. someone here done a spreadsheet which i hosted. let me find it.
2.0ltr TDI is 80k miles mate, and the 1.9 should also be 80k from 2004 onwards.
Edit: still 4 years though.

My Toledo 2.0TDi Sport DSG is now on 77k miles and due it's next serice in 1k. (it will be 4yrs old in Dec.)
Timing belt change is definitely at 80k miles or 4 years and mine is still intact!
What is a bit worrying, eben though mine is a co. car is that the 8ok service with cambelt has been quoted as £600+ from Seat dealer.

Ouch. got my Belt + water pump for 125 from David @ Sere. an ex foreman from sere done the job for 75 notes. nice profit your seat dealer is making then.....
Having studied the Haynes Manual and elsawin, it doesn't look to difficult (especially compared to an Alfa V6...)
I'll try to get some photos when I do it.
Does Altea have the big or little engine support at cambelt end.
JT - unfortunately you just can't tell what condition a cambelt is in by looking at, on or off the engine. So many engines go bang because the cambelt "looked" ok.
if you've ever tried turning a camshaft, you'll know how much strain that belt (and the tensioners/pulleys) is under!
