Golf bawl

I HAVE noticed a black cloud of smoke appears from the exhaust of my 40,000km two-year-old 2.0 TDI VW Golf under hard acceleration. I have spoken to my dealer and was told it was normal for a diesel. Could this problem be normal?

IT'S not normal with a modern diesel and I would be taking it back to the dealer and have them thoroughly check the engine and its systems because something is wrong.
