Volvo V50 2.0D or 1.8 petrol

Hi, I’m a bit perplexed. I would like to treat myself to a V50, but I don’t know if the 1.8 petrol or 2.0 diesel. (from the price would be the diesel ceiling). In this context also my next question whether someone has experience with EU import cars (sometimes significantly better equipped) regarding good addresses, problems with German workshops, warranty claims etc. as a small thank you for reading, tips or possible help the following joke: What do you do if the mute-in-law he’s going for you???? Shoot again!!!
