There is a D24 diesel and there is a D24T turbo-diesel. I have the D24T and like it a lot as a road car, a non-turbo seems a bit more sluggish--and manual is better than auto. I would not recommend it for stop and go driving.
Find someone who knows VW diesels if you need help, they are the same pistons and design, just different hole counts in the blocks and heads. Almost all the maintenance is changing fluids and filters, once in a while timing check with belt replace. If it is hard to start cold and starts right away hot, glow plugs are gone. If low on power and compression ok, check valve adjust. Not much more do except drive it.
