What to change when doing the cam belt?

1.9 TDI Afn engine

I'm thinking the Polly V belt and possibly the water pump? (Is the water pump driven by the am belt?)

Anything else I should be doing at the same time?

Are any special tools needed?

Many thanks

if the front engine mount is weak that's worth doing while the front end is off. also check condition of the clutched pulley on the alternator and the serpentine belt tensioner

Ive just done mine and that's the list of bits I changed along with the timing belt, water pump, tensioner and idler.

Thank you bud, not sure if the engine mounts are weak, but when it was mot'd today the guy lifted the car with the scissor jack over the pit, and the engine dropped relative to the car, most odd.
