Hi, have just purchased a 2002 Golf Gt Tdi 150 Anniversary with 67,000miles, 1 owner with Full VW History. Its a fantastic car except on acceleration i get a cloud of black smoke whick clears and also on steady acceleration in third gear i get the smoke to. I have had it checked by my local VW dealer who say this is normal. It passed smoke test and boost tests e.t.c. I have also had the egr valve cleaned out but its embarassing in daylight as i leave behind black smoke everywhere!

Any suggestions would be appreciated or am i worrying about nothing?

Many thanks.
Andrew.
