P1613 is an internal controle module detecting memory fault
(Has you car been re-mapped incorrectly?...This is common)

A rough idle is not a glow plug issue!Did you have cold start problems and glow plug error codes.
Do you have any more codes?
Back in April 2010 myou had a misfire issue,how did you solve that.?

I dint sort it out just went away , I did have a glow plug problem too changed all of them then reset the fault code and problem solved. But still I get rough idle plus I've changed the smooth running controller

Ok.try pulling out your egr vac pipe to the egr valve but block vac rubber pipe with your a small screw ..Then see if it makes any difference!

I did clean it out on the way to glow plugs but I'll try that now thanks again for your help have you looked at your other thread put some pics on

Also check if you have any vac pipes loose or torn,as this can cause rough idle and is not picked up by control module(ECU).
What is worrying about your problem is your P1613 registered code,which points to a memory malfunction and in these cases ,we always update cars software and this resets it.

Yes .I had a look at the pics of your Depos in the other thread!I also asked you a question

Update can only be done at the dealer,I am afraid.
Have you tested it with EGR vac pipe off?

Doing it now with a screw fingers crossed
