Could be the EGR valve or the injectors by the sounds of it

Get the codes read. Hopefully its not the injectors

If you've replaced two, then the other two will be on their last lege. Would be best to replace the ones you haven't already replaced.

Please be aware that once you've got the knocking fault code the code has to be completely erased before you can recode the new injector. Not all garages have the capability to do it properly, so I'd strongly advise going to a diesel specialist, and not just to a local garage.

Yep, as Dan said, likely injector but could be the plugs themselves or EGR failure, the latter being more likely on later mk3s. Worth ringing your local dealer, we plug in to IDS and do a diagnostic for the cost of half hours labour.
