Came up as an DPF and EGR fault. Mechanic did a DPF treatment and cleaned the EGR valve. DPF fault has cleared, but i`m still losing acceleration at times and diagnostics say its an EGR fault. Any ideas what my next move should be?

It sounds like the fuel filter is clogged have you had it serviced lately? Also check the air filter as well. We should run the codes as well. Here are two guides to help us:
