2002 Volkswagen broken intake valve

I had the diesel pump replaced on my new beetle. the day after i got it back an intake valve broke off and really chewed up the first cylinder- piston, head, injector, cam shaft, con rod. is there any connection between these two events? this is the $2800 question. They say it was a broken off chunk of the carbon deposits that did it. There is a big buildup of carbon in the manifold.

What is my next course of action?
