The 1.4 has a chain as far as I know. Are you talking about 1.8 or the serpentine belt?

This is in the 1st Generation Diesel section - this is for the 2.0TD.

I've been back and forth on if I want to do this myself or not.

I generally do all work myself, but I suppose it depends on the timing, how busy I am, and what not. We're pretty far away from it (under 60k miles currently, I believe), so I don't need to worry about making a decision just yet.

Based on the torque specs, I would say probably not (no additional angle).

Well, that definitely shows why it is recommended to replace it when you replace the timing belt...quite a bit there!
