Have you checked the timing chain they do stretch

Have you tried turning the key off?

yeah the 2.8tdi isn't exactly the most quiet of diesels.
I'd be looking at timing chain too. check the usuals, oil (obviously) and belts as it's amazing the noises a worn fan belt can make.
They are known for cracking exhaust manifolds too I believe.
