Might give barloworld VW a call too as they sold the car new and it's always been serviced there.
The TSI engine in your Tig has no timing belt, it has the chain driven camshafts and therefore it should last the life of the engine. Though, instead it’s a very weak link in the TSI engines like yours.

Get it inspected and replaced if need it, otherwise you might need to spend around $5,000 on repairs or on fitting a secondhand engine.
