It's not so much the price of the belt itself. Most of the cost is labour as generally, to do the belt or chain they put the vehicle into service position by removing everything in front if the engine. While doing the belt or chain they will also the water pump any any idler pulleys or the tensioner, since it's such a pain to do twice and the extra $200 or so is good insurance.
For the OP. Was this a Toureg or Tiguan? I've never seen a Jetta/Golf/Passat go over $1,000 for that procedure
