You need to scan with VCDS, this will tell you where the fault lies.

The guys at the local repair shop said that the crankshaft and the pistons were destroyed...!

In that case, buy a new car. most likely you've got bent valves and your engine is toast...if you trust the shop you took it to.

Looks like a used engine can be had for < $2000. Would it make sense to replace engine instead of buying new car?

Good point on dropping in a used engine. Based upon the OP having a 2.0 TDI, I'm assuming he's in Europe and that procuring and installing an engine may be more $$ than here in the US. If you really love the car, then a reman engine makes sense.
