Potentially considering swapping my CDT for a 1.8T (petrol cars are cheaper tax wise here + low emission zones everyone)

The 1.8T only has 71.000 km (44.000 miles), but how is the 1.8T reliability wise compared to the CDT?

I know there's an infamous head gasket problem, is it a big job? at what miles do most common issues occure with the 1.8t?

The diesel has usual crankshaft pulley issues, gearbox slave cylinder etc .. same for 1.8t?
