Well, the time has come to replace the pollen filter in my 2001 Galaxy. I've printed out Seatkid's guide and polished my toolbox, but now need to buy the item. can I only buy from Ford, or is there a cheaper place to buy from. Cheers Corskey

Hi all, sounds a little like my problem (2001 TDI, 115): 1. I replaced the MAF about 6 months ago, performance was better, but I don't think that the MAF was totally knackered. 2. Occassionally, especially when under load, eg accelerating up a hill I loose my pulling power and get quite excited when I reach 30. 3. I can cure the problem by switching the ignition off and on again, though I don't like doing this uphill. the battery has been dis-connected so I think that the memory has been reset. ???????????????????????????????? any ideas ????????????????????????????????

switch on the parking sensors and listen to each sensor individually - you should be able to hear them ticking. http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...991entry58991

Hi mumof4 when you ask for commission don't forget about getting your commission from me. I followed your link and am now the 'proud' owner of a Galaxy that is able to drive up a hill at a speed greater than 30 mph.

Black or white smoke?

A near flawless description of my problem - Great advice about the clicking. I now know that, by swoping sensors, all sensors are working and there is a wiring problem from the front o/s sensor. any advice on solving this - is it just a case of dropping the bumper and following the wire to see any obvious damage, or is it possible to splice a wire from o/s to n/s. I imagine that this isn't too easy as the n/s loom will end up with a lot of wires.

Sounds as though the catalyst converter has passed to the great catalyst graveyard in the sky. ;) ;)

Hi, I'd forgotten how bad my parking was until my sensors failed :unsure: . When I activate the parking sensors, I get a single beep from the rear sensor 'speaker' and then a continuous tone (from under the passenger seat). Some wan**r hit me in a car park a while ago, damaging the front nearside sensor, so I thought that this had given up the ghost. I replaced this last week with a Fraud replacement (bloody

Hi are these things easy to fit? my afterburner isn't working and I thought I'd start here. BTW great service from e-bay

Pop alaong to your local SEAT dealer and buy ones for the Octavia - they are not painted, so you'll never have the problem again.

I had the same problem with my TDi a while ago - for me it was a pipe that had blown off the turbo leading to an overburn of diesel as it wasn't pulling enough air for full combustion. I could listen to the position where the clip had dropped off, though I couldn't reach it and ended up paying the local garage

Hi Ian, thanks for the offer, but I'm a bit wary of the innovateks after the problems that I had with my last as I tend to play backups in the car. I think that I'll plump for the Sony, even if it isn't region free, and it doesn't seem to be hackable, though the Argos solution with Frogger is tempting.

Hi, is the general feeling that the Sony mv101 is a good player, even if it isn't region free. my player from mp3store has died after about a year, and I need to replace it any other suggestions for good (cheap) players. I'd buy a portable system, but the Galaxy is already wired with a roof mounted screen

The car is now at a garage - it's the same muppet that punctured a pipe to 0r from the turbo a couple of months when he was repairing the drive shaft. So thanks to tim-spam I'm not too worried about the whooshing / sucking sound. It still worried me a little about the black smoke. It was revved higher than normal trying to climb a hill, though it wasn't in the red! I can only hope that the lid (I assume of the turbo) isn't cracked. :huh: :huh: :huh:
