I think its meant to be done by 60,000.
thats when I had mine changed, there are 2 belts on the gti (twin cam), a long and a short one. Get the tensioners changed too as these can break up. (mine seemed to be perfect but you can't take the risk!)
I got a local garage to do it with vw parts. can't remember what I paid but can find out for you.
