Have you smelled your oil? It's likely that it now contains diesel fuel... that's bad, and would be consistent with higher engine noise - diesel is definitely not 505.01 compatible :(

Now, as to how diesel makes into the crankcase, there are usually 2 suspects - the "tandem" pump and the oil seals on the injectors.Both items can be inspected relatively easily by a competent garage... one might need a pressure/vacuum pump to test.

So... the first step would be to try and see(smell) if there is diesel in the oil; if there is, I'd warmly recommend an immediate oil change or a tow to the nearest competent VAG engineer. Likely, you would have a diagnosis within a few hours of vehicle handover to the tech...

Couldn't have said it better though I think the imediate oil chage/tow is a bit extreme

Sounds like an injector seal to me!
