Carsguide Senior Journalist Laura Berry had this to say at the time: The Mulitvan Generation Six was one of those cars my family didn’t want to give back. It’s easy to drive, cleverly practical, spacious and looks great. It’s a tad pricey and there wouldn’t be many young hippies today who could afford it, but it could be perfect for those who were once young and now have the money and time to adventure in style and comfort.

The 2017 Volkswagen Multivan carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Volkswagen Multivan 2017 prices range from $19,580 for the basic trim level Wagon Comfortline TDI340 to $42,570 for the top of the range Wagon Highline TDI450 4Motion.
First suspicion would be that the fuel injectors need either reconditioning or replacing. Rough running, hard starting and excess black smoke are all classic symptoms of worn injectors. That said, the modern turbo-diesel is a pretty complex animal, and you could also have a problem with the emissions system (EGR valve) or maybe a build-up of soot and oil in the intake system (which could also affect any number of sensors around the engine).
Don’t forget the basics, either; something as simple as a dirty air-filter element can also cause problems just like the ones you’re having.
If you are not sure get another opinion. That would probably mean having it trucked to another location, but that’s the best thing to do to make sure the advice you are getting is correct.
I would get a second opinion on the Kia's engine before you do anything else. A sludged-up engine suggests a lack of servicing, but if no damage has occurred you might be able to salvage it. I wouldn't recommend either a Multivan or Valente, those you are looking at are too old and potentially too expensive to run and repair. A seven-seat SUV might be a better option.
