Did you replace the adjuster? In the same boat myself but could do without replacing the adjuster from a cost perspective.
@Peskyjones did you get this done without the adjuster as well?

I'm booked in to have it done next week.. Taking a punt on not having the adjustor done.. If when its all back together it hasn't solved the noise then they'll take it off again and replace the adjustor. Hopefully it doesn't need it, if it does then I lose out on the cost of some labour but hey that's what a gamble is all about

Let me know how you get on @bimbound, I'm taking the chance of not replacing the adjuster myself at the weekend all being well.

Had the car in the garage today. Chain and tensioner replaced and the difference is night and day... Sounds like a different car from in the cabin and stood outside. Adjuster was not needed. Garage said the chain was very visibly stretched, so I'm glad I had it done.

Did you go to an independent?
How much all in?

Yea an independent specialist... Who is actually a specialist!!
The number of 'VW specialists' I called that informed me my car 'doesn't have a chain' is nothing short of unnerving!
£335 all in. Allow for a bit more as apparently there is a bolt that can be a nuisance to remove which will increase the labour. Mine it seems was ok to remove
I've found the garage I will be using from now on.
