You will get it cheaper than that if you shop around. Outside of London you will pay in the region of £350 to £500. Unless there is something daft on it that requires a lot of labour. Some cars have a cover you can remove to check condition of the belt, you will see if its perishing but if it does go on an interface engine it will be expensive. You can always have a look to see if it buys you a bit more time to save up for the change? I would say you could get another couple of years but it's always a risk.

Clueless car novice, we have a 5 year old (jan 2018) vw golf automatic, for 2 years. We take it to vw garage for services and mot.
Its going in on Monday and theyve just told us they suggest getting the cambelt changed, yes or no? £600 seems like alot for only 26,000 miles
