I have had exactly the same problem with my TDI. It is an 08 plate with just under 37000 miles and so is still under warranty but as the dealer thinkjs the fault has been caused by "oil starvation" Skoda don't want to pay up. It's my fault for running the car without oil.
The mechanic seems to think the broken chain is due to the oil starvation rather than the other way around. Does anybody know if the oil pump chain would be checked during a routine service?
Currently the car is with the dealer awaiting a new engine. The price? A mere £4500.
