How many kilometers does the car have on it by now? The 2019 diesel is euro 6, so you have to be very careful with the oil. It cokes up relatively quickly in the intake tract as it is, and if you then use an oil that is not ideal, the problems will get worse over time. What is it still worth in Austria? How much do you drive per year? A petrol engine might be cheaper 🤷

@EisenEnte I'm now at almost 150,000 km. I use this oil here https://amzn.eu/d/9jOi13r I suspect that I could still get €10,000 for the car, maybe a bit more with a lot of patience and effort. I drive around 20-30,000 km a year. At the time I really wanted a gasoline car, but there are very few of them in Austria and they are more expensive on the used car market.

@Iwamoto The oil is definitely good. Otherwise you would already have problems. The intake area will still become a problem sooner or later, especially if you already have so many kilometers on it. The problems with modern diesel vehicles usually start there 😐
If you notice slight jerking at some point at constant speed and low load, that's when it starts. Either sell it while it still fits or have it cleaned at great expense. The swirl flaps will probably be broken and most garages will sell you a completely new intake duct because it's cheaper than repairing it.
Petrol engines are probably more expensive for you because the fuel is cheaper than diesel, right? At least that's what I often notice when I'm in Austria, that unlike here, diesel costs at least the same as petrol.
