What is the cost to change the cam belt on a Volkswagen Golf?

How much should a timing belt change cost on a Mark 7 Volkswagen Golf?

The cam belt, tensioner, pulley and water pump will all need to be changed. I'd expect it to cost around £550 at a main Volkswagen dealer or £350 at an independent garage.
