Timing Belt Question (DIY?)

Hi All,

I am a noobie to this site.

I bought my wife a 1997 VW Cabrio today (her dream car). The car requires some genral maintenance such as a timing belt change (130k miles). Does anyone know a DIY for a timing belt change? Has anyone done this before? Is it a big job?

Thanks

It's not for a novice, get a Bentley manual & see if you're up to it.
