We do not offer this vehicle in the USA, so we don't have a lot of info on it but do you have a gasoline engine or diesel? This is a very different issue depending on the type of engine.

Here is a guide on black smoke if you have a gasoline engine. More then likely the fuel pressure is too high or you have a leaking injector.

Take a look at this info and let us know what questions you have. Thanks
