Easy answer to this:

Mk1 Diesels are 60,000miles, Mk2 come in 2 varieties: early cars (pre 2003) are 40,ooo miles, later ones are back at 60,000. Originally the Mk2 belt was narrower and had a different tensioner. Fix was to a wider belt (only ones available now) and a new tensioner.

Despite wider belt, VW would not warrant extending the service limit back to 60,000.
