You really do have to confirm the engine is toast before doing anything major.

A long time ago with my TT I had my intake too low and sucked some water up from a puddle and the car died and wouldn't restart. When I checked the oil it was clear water got in there. Turns out the only thing that was keeping the engine from starting was that the MAF sensor got wet. After changing the sensor, blowing the water out the cylinders, and changing the oil the car was perfectly fine.
