As the buzzer and oil light came on, the engine's probably ruined anyway, but it's worth a go.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

It is very easy to replace, but I would suggest that you replace the cooler as well.
On the 90-ish Cabriolets over here they did away with the oil/stabilizer/cooler… So I installed an external Oil Cooler which works to cool my oil when the oil is above 95 degrees C. I have also noticed that at Highway speeds I never see my oil above 115 degrees…..
The issue that I have with water coolers is that there is another way that they can fail and Simulate a blown head gasket or intermix oil into the A/F as the oil pressure is usually always higher than the cooling systems pressure.
It may be that your engine to filter flange gasket gave up the ghost, or that your filter wasn't tight enough. I have also seen sensors leak.
VWheritage will help you on the gaskets and such.
