I got prices for this today for my gtd. So parts only timing belt kit, waterpump, and aux belt £298.42 then there's coolant that I didn't get a price for but probably £15. Parts plus fitting at vw including the aux belt is £572.58 and my local independent using the same vw parts is £564. I will go with my local as I have used them for 18 years and have had 3 belt changes on other cars done there.
Remember, VW will warranty the work for two years, and getting your timing belt done with them means you could be eligible for goodwill if your engine was to fail at some point in the future.
Might be worth thinking about when the price difference is so negligible.
