Hi, unfortunately i'm pretty clueless when it comes to cars - i drive a 2001 VW Bora 1.9 Tdi, the warranty expires very soon, but have started having problems - need to know what the fault is so that i can see if its covered by warranty.

When i'm driving (any speed, any gear) sometimes the car loses power for a few seconds and then when power comes back i get a cloud of black smoke from the exhaust, also when in traffic in 1st or 2nd gear car sometimes stalls when i try to accelerate or is very jerky (no, its not my clutch control - ha-ha).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance.:1zhelp:
