Brave - but not too uncommon; there's some 1.8s on quite a lot of miles / years without the belt being changed.
The official interval is 5 years / 60K for the 1.8 / 1.8T, which seems quite conservative.
As a side note, we prefer the upgraded metal tensioner to the original - but so does everyone else it seems, and we've been run dry for weeks now!
