Black smoke on acceleration on Opel Antara

Hello everyone, I own a 2009 Opel Antara with 242,000 km on the odometer. I've noticed black smoke coming from the exhaust when I accelerate. Could someone help me understand where this might be coming from and how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Summary of the thread

The issue of black smoke on acceleration in a 2009 Opel Antara is likely due to a rich fuel mixture. A common cause is a clogged air filter, which restricts airflow and leads to excessive fuel burning. Checking and replacing the air filter is suggested as an initial step to resolve the problem.

Black smoke from the exhaust often indicates a rich fuel mixture. Start by checking the air filter to ensure it's not clogged, as this can restrict airflow and cause the engine to burn more fuel. Let us know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.
