It would be bad because, from what I've read, extra carbon can build up in just about anything on the exhaust side and cause things to fail. I'm being very vague here because I don't want somebody to come along and say
"that 1.2 doesn't have that part" and because I admit I don't know that much about that particular engine as well. I know for sure that using anything other than ultra low sulfur diesel in a variable turbo diesel application that calls for it will start to clog up the moving parts on the variable volume turbo causing it to fail. I'm sure people use the wrong diesel in some applications and get away with it because I've read there are already laws saying you have to use what your vehicle calls for, presumably because people were using "farm equipment diesel" in their passenger vehicles to save a few bucks. It's been a long time since I looked at the particulars of oil burning but there are several good forums you can go on. Here's one:
