New Timing Belt Kit with Water Pump from 1AAuto.com http://1aau.to/ic/GAEEK00102

This video shows you how to install a timing belt and water pump on your 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle. The water pump keeps coolant flowing through your engine. Common failures of the water pump will leave the coolant leaking, or stagnant. Both will lead to overheating if left untreated. The timing belt ensures that the crankshaft and cam shafts are rotating in sync with each other, ensuring the engine is running properly.

This repair was done on a 2001 Volkswagen Beetle GLS Hatchback 2-Door FWD and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
1998 Volkswagen Beetle
1999 Volkswagen Beetle
2000 Volkswagen Beetle
2001 Volkswagen Beetle
