'04 1.8t Timimg belt questions

I've read the timing belt DIY instructions, his engine is the 3.2L and mine is the 1.8L. Is the engine configuration similar or different?

Does the Cam seal need replacement too? If so, how?

After installing new belt, how to test new belt before putting everything back together?

The instructions for the 4 cylinder are

There are slight differences between 180 and 225 engines.

The instructions should apply to both. And since it's so cheap, yeah.

If you're looking at the modshack.info one, you might as well check on quattroworld, where you can ask the guy direct-like.
