Vauxhall cars have a bit of a reputation for engine management faults. Try taking it to an electronic diagnosis specialist rather than another vauxhall dealer.

If it's a faulty engine sensor or egr valve, it shouldn't be too expensive to fix. The other option is just to fit new parts by random guess work, which can be expensive and time consuming.
