Stokevwspares did mine a while back. Think they charge around the £500 mark.

If you want to do it yourself there is a guide on the corrado forum and vwvortex.

Pay the premium membership and you can get a blow by blow account with colour pictures from the Knowledge base.

Oh that and big savings on all sorts of stuff including Insurance.

Think I must have saved about £200 - 300 already this year

When you are changing the clutch, the whole of the timing chain is exposed anyway so it is an easy job. The only diffcult part is making sure you keep the timing in check, but both cam shaft sprockets have indicators on them anyway, just keep crank in the same place. Would not pay £750, or even £500 for it, well over priced, you need the gearbox out anyway for clutch renewal.
