Diesel is more 'oily' or thicker then petrol anyway. Could be air flow sensor, turbo actuator, best to give it to a specialist.

Maybe just service it and use some good fuel/addatives to flush the bad out.

Change fuel filter as well. I ran a diesel purge on mine as well

In a nut shell diesel is diesel, dont get sidetracked by the colour of it, so log as theres no water in it, it should be fine.
