I have also a TDI Golf as daily driver. Pretty cheap if your other car is a VR6
If i i have it right in my mind, a repair of the timing chain will cost about 600-1200 Euro and depends on your repair skills. If you do it on oyur own, it will cost about 600 Euro, and a Workshop (is it right for Werkstatt?) will take abot 1200 Euros.
Please don`t forget to chance the Oilpump, because it is the reason for the chain getting longer.

The sound in that video is not timing chain noise. That should be the "Hydrostössel" and will not be so expensive.
Now it is time for a forum-member near Cologne to check your VR6 and make sure what it is exactly.
