Yes in a word
Don't be foolish and skip a belt change. It'll be the end of the engine as the repair cost will be 5 or so times higher!

These do. And to be fair, just because they don't smash valves doesn't mean it won't damage the engine. It'll put the timing right out and could cause serious damage elsewhere.

I have a timing belt kit for the TDI which I'm happy to let go of on the cheap, drop me a PM if interested
