Your vehicle will have had a trouble code stored relating to one of it's components, you need to find out what is stored and post back then i can point you in the right direction.

egr valve is faulty ive replaced many of these at the vauxhall dealers on the agilas corsas and all the other vauxhalls at that all with engine revs and tick over problems but what they tend to do at the dealers is put a blank gasket on below the egr valve and reprogramme it and then you dont have the problem again for some time
