Absolutely, yes. Timing belts normally don't show wear until the crack.
Do a camshaft check. That is high enough miles that you should at least inspect the lobes for wear: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/multi/camshaft-inspection-replace-vw-tdi.htm If it's worn, change it at the same time you change the timing belt.
Make sure you have a decent torque wrench and good quality parts. Read the instructions before getting started.
Use G12 coolant, not Prestone. Use distilled water with the G12, you can find it at CVS or Walmart.
Change it so that you can put lots more highway miles on the car and not end up with major engine repairs!
