You dont want to add alcohol to a diesels fuel. The alcohol/water mix is not good for older diesel fuel systems.

That is easy to fix, delete the EGR and the soot trap / converter.
The EGR on VWs is known for clogging up even on straight diesel fuel. Might as well go with the perminant fix even if you aren't messing with WVO.
As long as you dont install a VGT in that 1985 you wont have to worry about it.
I have ran WVO cut into diesel since 2006 and never had any problems.
But I process my WVO to clean as much gunk out of it as possible before it goes into the tank and then it has to go through a filter system I devised for handling dirty, wet or other wise contaminated fuel.
I even tore down my engine and didnt see anything abnormal.
I am in the process of installing a VGT and plan to keep on cutting WVO with my fuel.
The best thing you can use to clean out a diesel engine is water injection, short of tearing it down and scrubing it in a parts washer.
