With the current issue I have with my 06 VRS I am now thinking it may be a blocked injector.

 

Does anyone have experience of changing one?

 

I have seen the You tube videos and don't fancy it myself, plus injectors new are about 600 quid each!

 

Wondering if it is time to scrap the car.

 

Have put 2 cans of Seafoam through it with about 2/3 a tank of fuel, will drive tomorrow on motorway in 4th mainly to see if It will help.

 

270,700 miles and it may be the end of the road for the VRS 😞

I'd be really surprised if it's blocked, maybe it's just stopped working. What are your symptoms?

In lower gears it is not too noticeable unless I floor it  but certainly in 3rd onwards I get a noticeable judder when accelerating.

 

Especially if I am at higher speeds i.e. going on to a motorway or when on a motorway start to go up hill.

 

Also get more black smoke when the juddering happens.

 

On Saturday i took it out and was doing 3500 in 4th and it ran ok, but it is when you lift off and accelerate to that speed again it judders.

 

All very odd..

Dude, why are we doing this across two different threads? Your turbo vanes are sticking.

sorry, never got a response to the first thread!

 

Though I would try another topic :-)

Lock this one and let's concentrate on the other, it contains more info.
