Its a belt driven cam-shaft.
VW recommend a change at about 60k I think... an origonal belt could last you up to in excess of 100k but if it does snap - get your wallet ready!!

I was told with my 1.4 TDI its 40K miles or every 4 years so i got my kit from dingbro for 70 quid and the boyfriend fitted the belt
ive not done the miles yet but the car is 5 this year lol so it was a bit over due
