Renault Trafic running rough - Injector, Glow plugs or EGR?

I had the chance of buying this Renault Trafic off a friend but may be put off as if it's not an easy fix :(

    I bought the cheaper injector tool you mentioned. We found that by warming the engine first and then working on getting the injector out, we had much better success with it. If the engine's cold, then the injector's more likely to be stuck. I know you're probably saving yourself a headache by passing on it, but thought I'd add my thoughts because once that injector was replaced, my van was running beautifully.

    Nice one and good to know the other tool works well. Think if I bought the van, it was the thought of doing the gearbox too that swayed the decision really.

    @@garageofdad Ahh gotcha, I didn’t even think about the gearbox. Well, I thought it was worth sharing as I know the injectors can put some people off. I believe the cheaper one we bought was around £200 (£90 second hand).

    Hello. Try some injector cleaner (Redex or similar) in the fuel tank and take it for a good drive. See if the noise quietens down.

    @@fromabovetheycame8137 Have a look for the rubber pipe as in one of my other videos. However, that would put the 'check injection' light on. Yours sounds like it needs glow plugs which is not too bad a job to do (he says having never done it before!!) Tell tale sign is delayed starting in the morning with a smokey exhaust.

    Glow plugs don't make it run rough. They are only used to heat up when it's cold. They don't do anything in normal running. You could have done a simple leakback test on the Injector
