Instead of continually blaming the engine, consider that sticking valves are the result of a water incursion (not the engine's fault) and sticking after repair indicates a poor repair (also not the engine's fault). Have a water incursion in your new diesel and see what happens.
This. When my old A4 had sticking valves it was salt-water rotted and on its last legs. My current engine has never had a stuck valve and neither did the original for the first 2 or 3 thousand hours.

I still think this engine was allowed to freeze and leaks water into the cylinders somehow.
