1.6 golf 2011
Help! My sons 2011 golf broke down last weekend. RAC diagnosed an injector. He disconnected it and we drove home (very slowly) for about 30 miles.
I had the injector replaced a few days ago but the garage said it was smoking a lot and had a severe judder.
When I collected it I was driving home through traffic and there was loads of smoke coming from under the bonnet and exhaust and the juddering was severe. However once I got on a faster road / or it had warmed up it drove relatively fine at higher speeds.
I’ve just started it up again and it’s smoking and juddering. If I put my foot down on the accelerator it won’t go past 2,100 revs.
Any ideas what it might be?!
Thanks in advance!

Injectors get them tested the same thing happened to me always get a second opinion don’t rely on AA
