VW Golf TDi130 - Loss of compression/misfire /way to much smoke - tkblueyonder

I have a 2002 TDi 130 (102k Miles) that has been regularly serviced ( last service was 5 weeks ago ). today it has been for a run on the motorway ( am not a mad racing driving never go over 70mph tbh ) anyway my problem/question.....

from standstill once i have the engine up to about 2000 rpm i noticed i have a flat spot/misfire/lack of compression for nothing more than a couple of seconds followed by quite heavy smoke discharge from the exhaust...? it does seem to clear until i have stopped and once again move off then the problem is there once again..seems worse when moving uphill

any help appreciated

reagrds and thanks in advance

may be worth having the camshaft checked for worn lobes !
