Many Thanks to this helpful info. 2000 1.9 TDI 109000 miles Started making a terrible noise, always at the wrong time. Rang Fords and they could get one in at

Well it looks like my aux/booster heater has stopped working so I've been scanning this and other forums. However I have two problems:- 1. Purchased a cable of ebay and connected to car. It reads engine abd etc modules but it gives 'no response' from heater module ;-( I take it that even if I replace the glow plug it wont work as I cannot reset it. Is changing the software to 3.11 worth a try? Ifs a 2000 galaxy with connector in ashtray. 2. Tried fords (offered

Many Thanx for the reply! - Just in from second soaking and it worked I think I did as you suggested I disconnected the motor set the linkage up and put it back together. Its a crappy job but I expect it would have cost a bit at a garage even spending premium dosh on the motor. TRouble is in this weather you have to have them. Time to relax and chill - maybe a beer and a curry! Thanks Again! John

Thanks - Had to bust the bank though - Need the car tomorrow Got linkage in but now having trouble setting up wipers. I forgot to mark the angle where the motor arm was connected. I connected the motor to the plug without the arm and let it move to rest then reconnected it, but I'm thinking now it may have moved. The wipers come too far down the windscreen and move up a bit at rest. I've come in out of the rain for a cup of tea and a think. If anyone can guide me in setting these up it would be appriciated in simple terms I think! Cheers John

Hi the electronic box on my ford Galaxy 2000 W reg has failed. Local Ford have motor & box for

Mine stopped today been out on the drive all night with son holding torch. Had the linkage apart one was very stiff got it all back in around 10:30 and still didn't work. So out again tested lead to motor when wipers on 3 termainals together live at 12V 12V and 10.3V or something. Circuit board looks a bit worse for wear and black on one side. Tried motor on a battery charger and it ran so thinking its circuit board. Anyone know how much a new one of these costs or if you can get them? This has really buggered up my weekend..oh well. I have done the linkage in the past and used copper grease - I think this time I'll use LM (I take it thats low melting point). :rolleyes:

Well it went in OK - Halfords was surprisingly cheapest place I found for the connector. Bluetooth works OK Not bad Aux in, MP3 & Bluetooth for

The cheapest I've found this lead is

Hi I've just purchased the Aldi unit with blue tooth to replace the 2007R unit. I've looked at the back of the 2007R and there is a grey yellow and black connector. I've been trawling the net for info and this forum and still a bit confused regarding adaptors. Do I need this one? http://incarexpress.co.uk/view_product.php?partno=PC9402 Autoleads PC9402 Is it cheaper to not bypass the amplifier assuming I've got one? Thanks in advance for any tips - Oh and best place to get adapters? Cheers John

I have a 200 1.9 TDI with a factory fitted 2000 7R RDS with 6 CD changer and steering column controls. I've had a couple of consultations with Halfords with conflicting advice etc and it looks like even with free fitting you will need 3 adapters at

Well the dealer changed the MAF and all is well! Cheers John

Move the rear seats as far back as you can and the front forward. You then fold the back down (by pulling the lever) and then pull the loop at the back or the lever at the side to hinge the seat on its front mounting. Then squeeze together the 2 round bits of metal under the seat at the front to release the seat. Then you do your back in! Hope this is of some help Cheers John

Hi Masked Marauder I've just tried sending the message again. The picute is looking down on the engine from the front between the main engine and battery. It could be a grease nipple or hose connection or something else..... Cheers John

Well I've got the go ahead to get the Turbo checked at a main dealer. This is all with 2 weeks to go to our holiday! Local Ford dealer said that can test it for

Well It came back from the repair centre and they have fixed all the other bits but I still think the Turbo is not coming in you can only reach 70 - 80 mph flat on the floor and I know it use to go a lot worse. I discinnected the MAF and it seemed worse but by not very much. This is really doing me in - It certainly had a Turbo before the accident and now it hasn't. I've just sent the wife out to test it in case I'm going mad. Is there any reason why you cannot add photeos to post - as I'd still like to know what the mystery item is. Cheers John

Hi It looks like the pipe your talking about is OK. I've e-mailed (i think) the phoyto to you. The thing I'm not sure what it is sits on the crankcase cosvers between battery & engine below the large hard plastic pipe you describe. It looks square with either a hose connection or grease nipple sticking straight up some sort of brass component coming out of the side and wires or pipe coming off that. I don't think I'm very good at describing so I hope the photo has arrived. Many Thanks John

Following someone going straight over a crossroads into the drivers side, 6 weeks repairs, further week of repairs following a break in a the repairers compound and interior trim stolen the car came home. Only to find the turbo now doen't work! Any ideas what may have caused this? Also please see picture of a part between battery and engine is that a grease nipple or should there be a pipe on it? Thanks for any help - ot goes back tomorrow Sorry I cannot post the photo its only 50k I've tried jpeg gif bmp etc and it says to big or wrong format????????????????? Cheers John

Well I tried the wipers upright and the cover catches on the rear wiper support. Did you pull it out from the bottom? Reading other posts it seems some won't come out with loosening removing wiper linkage. Cheers John

Well its December and I've still got a leak.......................I've had the windscren checked and was told it was the original and the seal is fine. I tried to change the pollen filter today and couldn't get it out. It looks like I need to remove the wiper linkage, but I cannot face it after a night shift with the daylight running out. Question - To remove the wiper linkage is it just the 3 bolts with rubber washers at the front? How is it attached at the back it just feels like a rubber grommit. Cheers John

Hi I'm still trying to cure my leak :o I've managed to get the wiper trim that clips were broken on. The seal under the water tray (called the bulkhead trim panel in the Haynes manual) is not stocked by Fords anymore so I'm trying to get one from a SEAT dealer. The panel is the large plastic tray you have to remove to change the pollen filter. Someone got a seal from SEAT please if you have the information, can you post the part number and correct name for the seal - as I'm going to have to order by phone. VW parts dealer very unhelpful - if it wrong we wont take it back etc. FORDS parts man was great and suggested that when FORDs drop a supplier they do not always get a replacementr first and then just put the part as unavailable. I've go a tube of sealant, duck tape expanding foam but I want to replace this seal at the same time I give it the big one. Cheers John

Just been to the ford dealers to get the corner windscreen cowling and it has been replaced by another part that does not match...oh joy! I think I'll repace the seal under the cover which sits under the screen washers and goes across the engine comp - real nice thing to get out. Someone said they got one from a SEAT dealer ?? Do these have the same body parts could I get the windscreen cowling there? Cheers John

Right I've pulled out the plastic cover that catches the rainwater and cleaned it up and cleaned up the rubber beading it sits on. The holes which allow water to go to the wheel arches are well and trully clear. On the plastic covering which sits on the corner of the windscreen 2 of the clips are broken. These sit in holes in the bodywork round the windscreen. THere seems to be a hole in this part of the bodywork to drain down but I wonder if some water could get in there? Looking inside the water seems to be getting in somewhere in that large cavity behind the window wiper etc that you cannot get your hand in. Very very frustrating!! Cheers John
