Isn't the 56 plate a cross over year. Mine is a 56 yet I had to order the 07 cam belt kit.

It really is a nuts and bolts Job. The bearing is a cartridge type on the GTI no presses required just 4 splined bolts.

Are you sure its the bearing and not uneven 'sawtooth' tyre wear like I have?! Mine hums along like a good un, so too have been pricing up brgs. But transpires its my tyres...(rears)
