Has it been serviced lately...air and fuel filters, pump timing.
Black smoke in a diesel is unburned fuel, all diesels with turbos will have some turbo lag and some smoke is normal.

Those cars are famous for slug in your fuel lines. they sell an equivilent to standard octane booster, but for diesel engines. ask around it should be no more than a few bucks... I had the same problem with a diesel golf and I used that stuff every month and got 4 years more out of the car. glad i didnt pay that mechanic 1500 bucks.

Get an oil change and also throw some stuff (STP) in your gasoline to clean out your carburetor if you ahve one.
