It is fairly easy, you do need a special cam alignment too, it can be purchased online for $99. You also need a 2 jaw puller to remove the cam gears.
Care must be taken when servicing this engine as it is an interference engine and if the belt is installed wrong the valves will be bent.

i just replaced 1 yesterday your best option is to remove the headlights, bumper, you will see 3 torx bolts both sides holding complete front section, remove air conditioning rad pull round to right hand side without losing pipes, the front section should pull round to the left a little prope with axle stand. draw out a digram of witch way the belt goes round all pulleys. to the left of the water pump (big fan wheel) is the tensioner, to slacken place 15mm spanner on bolt and pull anticlockwise.

A diesel uses a different procedure. You'll need a tool to hold the camshaft pulley parallel to the top of the cylinder head. The timing mark to set TDC for piston #1 is located on top of bell housing. The pointer must be aligned on the diamond cut on the flywheel. A VW/Audi setting bar tool #2065A is needed to lock the camshaft in position. Lock the injection pumpin position using the special lock pin (VW/Audi special tool no. 2064). Caution: If the drive belt is broken or has jumped time, do not attempt to lock the sprocket at this time!!! You will also need VW/Audi special tool no. VW210 to measure belt tension between camshaft sproket and injection pump sprocket. So good luck.
