Black Smoke And Lack Of Power

[SDOHERTY-007]

2008 2.0 D4D TR AVENSIS STARTING PERFECT, IDLING OK . BUT NOW STARTING TO LOSS POWER AND PRODUCING A BLACK SMOKE WHEN POWER KICKS IN. THINK IT COULD BE EGR VALVE? IF SO IS IT COSTLY TO CLEAN OR REPLACE? MANANGEMENT LIGHT IS CURRENTLY ON AND VSC LIGHT IS ALSO ON ???? ANY HELP BEFORE I GO TO TOYOTA DEALER
