The Jetta and the Passat are very different, in that department. The
Passat's engine is positioned in the traditional fore & aft manner (and,
yes, much of the front end needs to come off for access to the timing
belt). The Golf/Rabbit/Jetta engines are transversely mounted. The
timing belt replacement on my Golf is, literally, only a bit more than
1/10 the cost of the same thing for my wife's Passat.

I don't know about the Jetta, but I hear the Passat requires the entire
front end to be removed for the changing of the timing belt
