Sorry it's late - Happy Birthday Maz.

Someone recently did a post on this subject and someone lesle (it might have been Big Kev) posted a PDF file showing you how to do this.

Take a look on e bay there are always some window mechs for sale there - and I am sure they will be cheaper than frauds.

I'm still with LV - for both Gals' at fully comp, business use - european cover etc etc etc both around the

:D Are you challenging me to a duel, or a Dual , and if so does that mean that there will be two of you? :D

Buy a complete heater here: http://e-webasto.eu/?69,hydronic-d5wz-12v If the glow plug change doesn't work.

Having been through the early model breakdown scenario on my MK2 I can say that the dealers hadn't a clue - they changed the front evaporator ( pulling out the dashboard to do it) then the compressor before finally realising it was the condenser. I have dual (not duel :) ) air con and can confirm that there are vents in the roof - if you don't have the vents and by extension the rear Unit in the nearside wheel arch then you haven't got a dual system. They always come out with the swarf issue when they don't know what's wrong. If the compressor has died then there may well be swarf in the system but it's quite unlikely. Do a search for Air Con issues ,it's most likely to be the condenser but it might also be one of the pipes leading out of the compressor ( I had that a couple of years ago) Good luck.

What exactly were you looking for? What didn't someone do? Did you come on to be praised? What makes you think we need you more than you need us ? If you didn't need us why come on here in the first place? This is the perfect place for you - am sure they will appreciate all that you do and say www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/forum/index.php Loads of love BJ

Yes

Can't speak for the auto but the manual requires you lower the engine and box around 4 inches or so then slide the box to the right (from the front) before it then drops to the ground as it weighs a helluva lot!

It's under the front of the dash - you can get at it from under the bonnet by removing the tray as if you were changing the cabin filter.

Providing the one you are replacing it with is in good condition and all retractors etc working and no damage to the material then I would suggest it's fine. Where I would draw the line is replacing airbags and seatbelt tensioners with second hand as you have no way of knowing if they are still functioning (NOT THAT YOU CAN TELL WITH AN EXISTING SET!).

Dear all Have a look at this site - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180398495818 They do genuine Bosch Aerotwin blades for the MK2 at

According to the TIS you need to remove the Master Cylinder first - then remove the EGR valve and it should then be clear to remove - You firstly move it to the right then pull the left side forward and then it's out. It doesn't mention anything about dropping the engine or similar. If you don't have a copy of TIS have a look on Ebay you can get a copy for less than

The two main components you can check are the brake & clutch switches - The cruise control on the TDI is electronic not vacuum driven. Check the switch on the stalk and the connectors. If it still doesn't work you need someone with VAG Com to see whats not working.

Just a suggestion - You haven't lost the chip from the key have you? Try your spare just in case it's the immobiliser.

Thanks for not biddiing Mirez!! I have both a Mk1 & a MK2 so I thought go for it!! Can't wait to see what happens when a MK2 heater comes up! then you offer me some dosh and see what happens,as ive got 1 sitting in my garage :lol: Well I 'll happily match what I paid for my Mk1 if you're interested!

Lets see how happy he is when he tries to get the bolts out :lol: What bolts? It's a complete new heater - All I need to do is to remove the old heater ( bolts in that are regularly removed and greased) and replace with the new one - No messing about with the bolts trying to get into the casing to change the glow plug for me!!! Just swap a few hoses around and Bob's your uncle!!

I was browsing the Galaxy section on E bay looking to see if anyone sold a glow plug for the aux heater when I came across an auction for a brand new complete heater ( for a MK1). I put in a max bid of

Happy birthday Gregers -- I only hope I look as good as you do when I reach 41!!!

Just a thought - if it is track rod ends I bought a set of QH for

Not heard of this one before - but it seems you are commited now as they have already stripped the head down. Have a look on E bay for a second hand head .

And, If like me, you have dual air con you will see another similar puddle under the left rear wheel arch where the secondary unit sits.
