you need to get the codes read that are stored in the ecu.any small garage with a scanner should be able to do that for u reasonably cheaply

I bet you it's either an egr fault or an injector fault. Where are you located??

Scooby Dooby Is right, they're prone to injector faults and egr, normally you can just take the egr valve off which is very easy and clean it but of that don't fix it then its a valve which arent overly cheap
