Jaguar09

Check this Gal out, not sure if I would see this one coming.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2004-FORD-GALAXY-GHI...1QQcmdZViewItem

Hi, This sounds just like the problem I have just sorted, took me ages to get to the bottom plus over 1000 pounds. Not saying it is the problem but I ended up having a new ECU fitted that sorted out all my troubles. Check out my tread about 'losing power and kangerooing" might help. Hope you get it fixed soon as it took me over 8weeks to sort out. Good luck

Final update: Ford are going to pay 40% of the final repair cost. At last some money out of them for a problem that took them far to long to sort out. Many thanks to all that helped. Lessons learned here is that Ford have no idea how to fix Galaxies...... Customer care is not always what it should be.

Good advice , many thanks. By luck I did pay on my credit card.. I will get onto them tomorrow and ask for it in writing. Still not happy about paying for it all up front.....

Another update:- Had to pay the local dealer

Another update to all..... Went to pick car up to pass back to the Ford dealer, guess what it will not start, glow plug lights will not come on and red light on door is flashing hence immobiliser on. Man in the garage kept asking for the red key which I have never been given. Having to have the poor old thing relayed to Ford now... Currently up to

Update on the on going fun and games..... Have a bill from a different garage 0f about

Update to the on going problem. Gone to another garage, diesel one this time, had the car 2 days still no closer to fixing it. Starting it takes a long time, turn the key no glow plug light on, turn it on off about 20 plus times and in the end hey presto it comes on, starts fine then. Engine is runs fine for the first 20 seconds then runs like a dog, sounds like its missing... Still no answers. Anybody got any other ideas.... Please.....

I'm begining to think more and more it's the ECU with all these other little problems that are happening. Glowplug light not coming on as it should is just another problem to add to the list.... It's enought to sent a man to drink... Will give your idea a go at the weekend, many thanks.

Were did you get the tool for taking the bolts out of the MAF sensor, strange onces these.... My diesel light is hardly coming on now so a nightmare to start now.... Am thinking of sending the ECU to ecu-doctor to have a look at, one problem will be without a car for 6 days.... On a lighter note I hope a new MAF in your car will fix it... Do you know if the MAF has anything to do with the disel heater, long shot I know but worth asking.... Wife driving me mad about the problem, she even got a trade in cost from Ford today, what a joke they offered me

I'm in a village called Guilsborugh which is north northamptonshire. I do know Billing as I bought the Galaxy 2 years ago from the Carshop just around the corner. At the time I thought it was a great price......

Well spoted, yes I do have a 115hp engine, never mind.... I have found a site that will rebuild your ecu for 90 plus parts if you interested... http://www.the-ecu-doctor.co.uk/ I just can not belive it's the ECU... It such a shame sombody who Galaxy is still in warrenty has not had this problem, Ford would then have to fix it........ instead of leaving us all lost in the dark. How many other people have you seen on here with the same problem? I've been reading and seen many people with similar problems, all unresolved...

Just found this bit of info on the internet what do you all think??? hi your problem is the boost control attached to the injection pump,it works with the turbo, if you look at your pump you should see a compartment on the side of it, there is an air pipe attached to it that leads to the turbo. if you disconnect it and fuel comes out, thats your problem. its very easy to replace it. where the pipe is you should see a nut & bolt holding a cover. remove the nut, then the cover, then you should have another cover with 3 star bolts holding it on. unscrew these and gently remove from the housing, coz there is a spring just inside and you do not want to lose this!!! in the opening you should find a saucer shaped part with 2 rubbers attached to it, 1 sml and 1 large. the large 1 should be attached to the metal and have no warps, dents or cracks. you can get a new one from Bennetts & son at watford : 01923 239534. or you can try a local scrappy. A ford engine of the same type, year and fuel should have a suitable part to replace it with. take note..... the small rubber should be on the inside of the pump. you will also have to change your oil and filter as this problem contaminates your oil. good luck (check the air line first) .

Just changed the crank postion sensor and took for a test drive and still the same problem. What I have noticed today is:- Glow plug light on dash is not always coming on, reset key until it does come on, normally 2/3 times, wait for light to go out and starts fine. When wife drives it I'm sure she does not watch this light so hence has had starting problems. Engine runs fine for the first 20 seconds when on the drive, I then notice a change in the engine tone like it's missing a beat and then I know when ever I drive and put load on it I lose complete power. I agree it sounds just like a fuel problem but what??? If you get any luck let me know as this is driving me mad.... Got the sensor from Ford who told me the part has been superseeded so supplied a new part but as i said before that has not sorted the problem.
