Jerking surf ???

[desmoreg]

Help please !

Just changed the head on my surf,and it cost me £2,000 and now I have noticed when I drive slowly and when I brake it jerks but it didn't do that before ,the garage told me that the injectors gone but to recondition the same one ( here we go again ) it will cost £350. For the moment I can't afford that with xmas coming. Does anyone have any idea how to make it stop jerking or fix it without costing so much ? Also if I was to put off having it fixed for a few weeks is it safe to keep using it ?

Thanks
Eddie

Could try a whole bottle of redex to 1/4 tank of fuel but if injectors are completely shot it probably won't do much.
Did this problem happen as soon as you drove it after the head was done?? could just be some s**t in the injectors from being stripped down.
Whats acceleration like, is it smoking a bit more, does it feel smooth at all other times, at idle????????

Eddie,
£350 to recondition the injectors, I just paid £70 for a full set of recon ones and changed them in less than 30 minutes.

Try Nigel's idea first with the redex or Wynns power boost.

These guys are trying to rip you off.For that sort of money and a new head the injectors should have been done as well.Get some more info from the guys on here about what to do and who to see and you will save money.
