This is good advice. The mention of a clutch + automatic had me very confused. It's been many moons since my diesel era. I go back to the age of block heaters and glow plug drama. I've read that modern diesels involve more power and much less soot than what I used to own (VW and Mercedes during the 80s and 90s). When questions of power came up, it was generally a matter of injectors needing cleaning or replacement. But, as previously stated, it's best to let a qualified mechanic sort it out.

Lack of acceleration could be a number of things, best take it to a professional mechanic for an evaluation of the car's performance. Advice over the internet will not get you very far.
