I want to learn to do it for my gf's TDI. She is at 72k right now. Probably try to do it in the next few months. You have almost a year (depending on driving habits) to worry about this.

easy to say that once you've gotten yours done...  personally... I caught HELL, but then again, I swapped tensioners, the water pump, both belts, etc all at once.

I swapped to a manual tensioner, both belts, water pump, and thermostat. It's also worse to do it on a APR sgt3 as the turbo/wastegate is right there, and makes it impossible to pull the mount out. But, I did it in a parking lot, took the whole day by myself. Then 3 days later, i was on a track giving it hell!

You really should take care of that haze on your headlight covers. You know something bad has gotten in when the moldy-residue starts growing BLUE.
