I used to own a VX Signum 3.0 TDI

VERY powerful and VERY fast

I spent nearly £2000 having a "suction control valve" replaced

it drove better afterwards but didnt feel right, when I part ex'd it for the 93 Aero, the guy called me a few days later to say it had conked out on him and a fault flashlight was on

he took it to a back street diesel specialist, took them 20 mins to find out that a diesel valve was shot, cost £120 to supply and fit and the car was back to being a licence killer

so first port of call, try a diesel specialist, you might be surprised

Yes i had one and that was quite as the time concern.
