First you need to check for damage. Read this article in full:http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/b5/oil-pump-failure-passat-tdi.htm Best case scenario is that you put on a new module and go.

Here is the repair procedure and where to buy parts. http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/b5/oil-pump-passat-tdi-replacement.htm There are a few places where you can buy it cheaper than the dealer.

I rent the VW special tools upon request for this job.
