I personally do not have a DPF installed and get around it one way or another...if you know what I mean. You will get black smoke on acceleration, that is the nature of DPF-less diesels. You will also get white smoke on start up and a not so pleasant smell most of the time..not sure you should be getting black smoke at idle though??
what map did you get,,i do not get any balck smoke,,yes a little smoke at night which you can see in car behind headlights..but not balck smoke....and the auto box is a recommended 70-100k mile service,,oil/sump filter and mechatronic sleeve,,around £400 for the whole lot done,,around £200 for the kit if you could find someone cheaper than around £200 labour..
