You might want to watch yourself before you throw out the word "lie" so freely. Maybe you have a reading comprehension problem?
I stated clearly that I did the work myself, and did not pay someone else to do it.
I called nobody a liar, not even close.
Also note that Volkswagen never gave a suggest mileage figure for cam belt changes. All Volkswagen dealers and mechanics that I've spoken with recommend a 100K to 120K figure. I've stuck with that, and those I've pulled apart at the mile mark were still fine. I changed anyway.
I'll add that with all my Volkswagen diesels, and all my Isuzu diesels, and all my gas engines with timing-belt drive cams, I've never yet needed any parts in that area other than the belt, and a few idler bearings.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
