Default 2005 volkswagen golf tdi- bew timing belt

So, i have now decided to tackle this project. I hope all will go well. I am just an ordinary " home mechanic" is there anything that is extremley difficult? I have read about the motor mount situation where you have to get just the right angle. Is there anyone who could spare me some advice that has done this? I also have to do a few other things while im at it, like a bottom intercooler hose, turbo oil return line, thermostat and housing and the shifter tower bushing. Its quite a job I have ahead of me but I'm ready for it.

I prefer to just work around the motor mount. Not worth removing if you have the clearance to work around it. Why replace the turbo oil return line?

I'm going to try my best at not removing it but I guess I'll have to see. My turbo oil return line has been leaking oil, it also has coorosion, I'm anal about leaks i really hate seeing even the slightest bit of seakage.
