as Gazdav says,

pull the grey wire off the back of the alternator, give it a clean and the spade connector on the back of the alti, put it back on,

and check, did this on mine, OK now.

Cheers

Ok then try the following

Check air filter and air inlet is clear and if the inlet manifold was cleaned when EGR was removed
When serviced was valve clearances done
Dirty injectors clean with injector cleaner or remove and soak in diesel over night
Is just a few causes of that problem I can think of

btw can it be the fuel pump?

Yip but unlikely due to the very small movement in rpm if any thing it would be dirty fuel lines blocking the pump.
