118d stalling when slowing down (when cold)

Hi all, my 118d auto 59 plate is randomly stuttering and then stalls when slowing down to a stop, this only happens when the engine is cold so mainly within the first mile or so of driving.

I changed the fuel filter last year and this drastically reduced the amount of stalling, but now it’s pretty much ever morning, car starts back up fine after stalling, no engine lights on.

I thought the filter should last longer than a year? Could it be something else?
Could it be worth removing the EGR to try clean it?

Also I don’t know if it’s related but the engine is really loud and rough at idle, I also changed the belt tensioner last year which helped a lot but again, could the tensioner need replacing again? Are these problems related?
