Check timing belt on GTI

[Umai Naa!!]

There's about $450-$500 in parts and coolant alone. Then there's about 4-5 hours labour. Unless your mechanic wants to make almost no money out of it...

the top cover wouldnt cooperate and I could only pull it back far enough to get this picture. Does it look like a changeover belt, the print is faded or lightly printed maybe, I have seen belts with print like this in stores.
