I did. $800. That sounded crazy to me, which is why I am asking.

Warranty doesn't pay much but for customer pay, All Data is the the standard for non warranty time. I just looked it up for a 2009 TSI it calls for 5.9 hours when it's not warranty. $800 doesn't seem unreasonable at all considering you need the water pump, the union (or at the bare minimum 2 seals for the union), 2 new seals in quick disconnect hoses, new seal on the metal pipe that bolts into the front of it, new toothed belt, VW's G12 coolant, and 2 of the 5 screws that hold it in call for replacement each time.

Sounds about right. There is no replacement interval for the belt or the pump - so I don't know why anyone is looking to do it unless it is leaking.
On longitudinal mount cars (A4) its fairly easy to do (with the exception of breaking the right-hand thread 12mm), but FWD cars it is a PITA. It can be done without removing the IM. But I've seen guys do it with the manifold off and it is worlds easier on transverse engine cars.

For what it's worth I started having issues with mine yesterday. Luckily I was at VW when it happened and they are taking care of it.
Hope you find a solution for less than 800
