Not yet they are still investigating why it failed! My own thoughts are aux belt failed first, I suspect the alternator drive pulley. Two weeks ago I had a high pitched squeal from what sounded like a pulley above 2000rpm. Had it investigated and they found a fraid aux belt, all the pulleys checked out apparently, I’m somewhat sceptical of that now in hindsight.
squealing . . . . ?
one possible idea maybe
+++++++++++++++++++++
the "AUX belt tensioner" is auto tensioning, and normally starts squealing when its bearing is pooped. . . either very loose from wear, or tight from ingress .
so maybe it was the pully tensioner that was failing. . .
that caused high friction on the AUX belt, . . which caused it to fray?
then they replaced the belt. (but not pulley?)
the pully then did the same to the new belt. . . .
but unfortunately the belt failed and got stuck with the timing belt.
wich has caused mechanical damage?
+++++++++++++++++++++++
so you can either rebuild the engine . . .
i seem to remember the last time hearing this be done was,
some bent valves?
some snapped rocker arms
a conrod or two,
possibly a piston?
plus ancillaries?
or
get a whole engine from a smashed up van,
and do an engine swap.
++++++++
i suppose it depends on the millage and condition of your engine + repair.
versus the cost + unknown of a replacement whole.

forget about a new engine from VW I've heard prices of £8-15K
