Do yourself a favor and change the timing belt & tensioner at 60k. VW calls for replacement at 105k, but on that vintage 1.8t engine (code AWD or AWP I believe) the valves WILL collide with the pistons if the belt snaps and you'll be in for a world of hurt. When I had my GTI and did the research, there were many stories of people whose belts snapped between 60k and 105k.
