Is it the auxiliary pulley? Not sure if the oil pump is shaft driven on the 20vt, but it's essentially driven by that if it is.

Doh, same thing though. Have a look on vagcat, sign up for free and you can see the blown up diagram of the engine. It lists part numbers too so a phone call to Vw should herald a result.
