I`ve got the same issue with my `96 omega 2.5td. It first started doing it as i was shifting from 1st to 2nd gear but now it can happen anytime. There`s a big smoke behind me as i drive up the hill. I told this story to my mechanic over the phone who suspected the air mass flow meter. As i was looking for it on ebay i found this; 
Common symptoms of a faulty Air flow meter (AFM) are:

Poor idling

Cutting out when the engine speed drops (approching bends, roundabouts etc)

Loss of Power

Excessive Black Smoke

A diagnostic machine will sometimes point out the AFM is faulty, however, not always.
So this must be it. 70 quid.  ;)
