The timing isn't affected by the same belt that drives the alternator, I broke an idler pulley o my 02 and drove it without the belt onfor a couple of days, until VW got the part in. I noticed the engine kind of made a stumbling sound sometimes, possibly due to lower voltage, The problem went...

Just did one on my 02 jetta, it took a little over an hour, it was a great kit with molded hoses
