Thanks for the advice I know these cars are suspect to carbon deposits on the vanes , I'm not shy of giving the old girl a thrash ! I got the car stripped out to see if the inlet manifold was clogged up ... And to my surprise it wasn't too bad at all , after several hours at the mechanics they insisted that it was the turbo at fault . Now I've allready put a brand new spanking turbo a few days earlier and I was quite frustrated as my problem was still here . Mechanic said my MAF and boost sensor was ok , but I was doubtfull as I had this problem prior to changing the turbo, feeling like a rabbit WTF?!!! I decided the only thing left to do is change the sensors as the fault was electrical , I used to buy Euro car parts for my Air flow meter as the price was affordable , so after spending a small fortune what's the point in cutting corners now ? So off I went to VW to get original parts as ford are alot more expensive , ( ford galaxy is all VW under the bonnet anyway! )

I have no idea what the bounce is like apart from it feeling like it's completely knackered but once they are warm it's not too bad . Seems like the old gal is going to be retiring soon !

The mechanic who checked my car out said that only boost pressure came up. He didn't give me any numbers and could not find a fault code with the vehicle stationary, so off he went trying to lease some life into my car with no luck but only a TURBO PRESSURE fault? I had taken it to someone else a so called specialist and they could not even get a reading. Does that mean due to the manifold being rancid the turbo is not kicking at optimal levels along with maybe boost pressure sensor that needs sorting?

I suppose after such high mileage things can't be like new afterall. I don't fancy lowering it as it's too complicated as it is . I was hoping for a more spongier ride with finnese and certainty , but now it's like I'm off roading till the shocks get warm and things settle down. I should have gone the whole way and put standard new springs on !

The turbo can be an issue but before you do that check the other things like the Air Flow Sensor ( MAF ). It's a common fault but if you haven't cleaned out the turbo sooner or later you will have too unfortunately. There is a host of other things that can cause lack of power , get a proper diagnostic check done and before you do that check for split intercooler pipe or surrounding pipes that are turbo related. Sorry for late reply I'm new to the forum but I've had this problem with my car also hope you've sorted it out now anyhow.

I was hoping someone could shed some light on this problem , I've recentley changed all 4 shock absorbers plust 2 front strut mounts and bearings but the car feels still feels like it's been on an off road escapade!! Confused and bewildered I am because they have all been replaced with Brand new monroes. Any thoughts? Ford Galaxy 1.9tdi auto 115 Ghia 2005

Hi I know this question has been a very known common fault here in the forum, my old gal now has done 191000 miles now and I've been doing the fault finding quests as usuall , I.e MAF , Boost pressure sensor , Egr valve and the common turbo related issues with sticky vanes also catalytic convertors packing up and reducing exhaust pressure . Just recentley out of the blue I've had a loss in power and a local garage that insisted it was the turbo , to be quite honest I thought it was that , after hearing the whistling and whining over the few months and a general lack lustre of performance I thought the problem was the turbo . So after spending my hard earned dosh the problem is still there ... WTF? after feeling like a rabbit . And some usefull reading here on the site like inlet manifold cleaning , I'm thinking this could be the problem ... Is there anyone who has had this problem where the loss of power happens after car is warmed up from cold ? Sorry for the long sermon apologies :unsure:
