New Member looking for technical help and second opinion.
On acceleration car jerking, hesitant then sudden surge with loss of power. Took into my local service station who have done service, repairs and MOTs over the last few years - always seem honest and trustworthy. After free inspection and diagnosis, said it is to do with "manifold flaps" which are disintegrating and would not be financially viable to repair and while the car could be safe to drive for up to another year, it should ultimately be consigned to the knackers yard!
I have had car for nearly 15 years and would be grateful for any advice before I bid farewell.

What an utter load of tosh. Vis motors either work or they don't, they will not make the car stutter or jerk. If the flaps connected to the Power Vis in the manifold had failed you would know by the noise they make, believe me.
If the flap that is connected to the Balance Vis has failed you would notice a sustained slight drop in economy or performance depending on the position it has failed in.
Get the car on a purpose made T4 diagnostics machine and see what other codes come up besides the Vis motors (Which by the way are almost certainly not working, if you have had the car so long, I can help with that
)
