dinald dick may be a guy to talk to on here. I'm not sure if he did his own on his 1.8, but he knows the motor inside and out, I believe. I had my timing belt done on my 2.7t at a local shop. It saved me quite a headache by not dealing with a cam-lock bar and completely fucking my motor by me missing a step. Goodluck
I would bet thats who told him to ask here :-)
