I did consider it but im not keen on the idea of sending it off to then get a quote for repair, was rather hoping to get one from a scrap yard, Cant believe how hard this is to get.

I have a KKK03 turbo on my Gal, Shes now been off the road for 4 weeks and I cant get another KKK turbo. I cant go down the new route the turbo would be worth double of the cars value! Does any one know if an alternative one will fit?

many thanks for that sorry for the delay, the entire car is giving me major grief at the minute!

Can any one please direct me to a diagram of the vacuum pipes routing for the above I have a horrible noise on my Gal took some pipes off to inspect now I think I have mixed something up I have no boost at all and still got the noise!

thamks for the tips, he has done cam belts before just not on the Gal, just tried the link with firefox and the broken link works

Hubby has got to change the cam belt on our Gal, the link is broken in the solutions sections, any pitfalls? any one know what tool we will need to lock the can Cheers

Had problems with gear linkage today 1st 3 and 5th selected ok but I had no 2nd 4th and reverse, I looked on here for some tips and looked at the gear stick end not sure if that was working right lol it was moving but it didnt feel right! and then started to dismantle battery cover and other stuff to see what was happening from above, initially the selector on the top of the gear box was not moving but you could see the linkage moving slightly, the lower one didnt appear to move anything but the linkage itself definatly moved further than the top one. I tried adjusting the linkage and really dont think I actually adjusted anytheng BUT the gears have come back now 2nd is hit and miss as to if it will go in going down the gears which I assume is down to adjustment. Does any one have any ideas as to what was actually wrong with this in the first place lol I prefer to see something broken and fix it

1998 TDI Galaxy, the belt tensioner is making a horrible noise it seems the tensioner has moved out of the housing towards the inner wing and is sitting on the belt about 1/3 of the width I have pushed it back it held for a couple of days noise was cured then its moved back out again. Any ideas how fix this?

This sounds to me as though the Boost Control Solenoid (N75) is causing your VNT mechanism not to work. When he mentions attenuator I assume he is talking about the VNT actuator which physically moves the vanes in the turbo which adjusts the amount of pressure. It is common for the VNT mechanism to stick and also the vacuum pipe to the VNT diaphagm to perish. Again like Insider suggested, you need to find out what engine is fitted to yours. Basically if it is the type fitted with the Variable vane turbo you're looking at

The Registration doccument arrived back this morning lol that doesnt seem to be any help what so ever not sure if its right its states the engine no as starting VD and the number is the same as the rest of the vin number

I thought it would be a sensor, especially as it does flicker on every now and again so its working to some extent, and hadnt even considered anything else it until my son came home after taking it for the diagnostics and the guy had told him its a faulty earth apparantly he has owned one himself that had that problem. I cant find any other topics about speedo problems. can any one direct me to it please. I agree but we do have fsh and all paperwork that looks genuine as far as we can tell up to July this year,when it was MOT'd and it must have been working then as the mileage is up since the mot. also the interior has no sign of any unusual wear.I know these things can happen we had some electrical component go on my sons rs2000 the day people travelled from Wales to look at it and the damed thing wouldnt start when they arrived

Thankyou.......... I didnt realise the * was counted! and good news for me as that seems to be a lot cheaper for a turbo! now to get an insurance company that will recognise the right model lol wouldnt have had this problem if the entire log book is handed over to the new owner to send on.

Bought my Gal last week 1998 1.9 tdi Ghia X (dont know if 90 or 110 )the speedo had just stopped working the day before we bought it, it flickers on every now and again,( registered 1.6 miles on approx 70 mile trip home) it went in for diagnostics yesterday and the guy took it for a test drive and has said its a bad earth and he also noticed the speedo flickered on when he indicated. we do also have one window thats not working on the passenger side rear door dont know if that is connected. can anyone please direct me as to where to start checking for this kind of fault

Just posting a follow up to the problem incase it may help some one else out she went for diagnostics yesterday and the 3000rpm problem is all down to the turbo boost pressure we need a new attenuator for the turbo and my turbo boost valve has been glued together with superglue I assume the owner that got rid of this to the person I bought this off got rid of it in a hurry because they also found the fault and were not prepared to spend money fixing a turbo and they guy i bought it off didnt even realise there was a problem! now the problem is not knowing which engine we have to actually get the parts as the turbos are different for the 90 and 110 BHP The starting problems well I have only had diesel vehicles for the last 18 years and I have NEVER EVER known any to be this difficult to start ( doesnt even fire until the battery is about to die totally) they tested the glow plugs and there is only one of them out cant believe that would make starting that hard.
