Hi guys, great new site ,,, my starter motro has packed in ( i think) ive had trouble starting it so a few clunks to the starter got it going, but now that doesnt work, there is a blue wire that sits on the top of the starter that i have noticed isnt attached to anything,(should it be???) could that be the whole starting problem??? its only about 3 inches long but theres nothing obvious to where it should go it is a 1.9 tdi 1999 galaxy...Thanks

relay 109 ? All the relays checked fine, ive had this car 1.5 years never realised how quick it can be since that was fixed..

Oh l say, is this going to be the 1st forum Wedding.......lol Obviously he has a way with words lol, i'll have to try that one out on Michelle pheiffer lol...

Opens up fine for me (idont need it though) just need to update adobe...

Excellent cheers guys!!

i have the same thing happening,, mine are 215/55/xl16 what would be the right inflation for these. i have looked up tyre inflation but it doesnt give tyres of this size fitted on a galaxy,, normally set them 39psi front/ 42 back...

All fixed,,back on the road again, did turn out to be the fuel solenoid switch!!! Thanks for the suggestions for the problem, found this a friendly forum, great to find a forum thats willing to help people like myself who have no knowledge of cars.. Cheers...

Hi, no sorry i didnt, the guy took the car away before you mentioned that,, The mechanic is looking at it as a favour for another friend via us lol,

Its been to a mechanic today, said it was (fuel solenoid) the other half got the phone call unless it was some other soloenoid, apparently it was doing what it was supposed to but not doing it fully,, getting new part on monday so will take it from there ,,fingers crossed.....

LOL is that not a test if the glow plugs are working?? same principal as using a battery pack on the glow plugs (direct live feed)?, its When they are connected to the engine and clicked in the busbar is there a way of knowing the power is getting there?? All dashboard lights work fine, the glow plug light comes on for approx 3 seconds,since they were changed.. previously it was like a blink of an eye since found that one was dud,,Thanks for replying and the info on relay no 109,appreciate it..

Appears that this car doesnt have a relay 30? maybe ive got mixed up with a petrol engine... i tested the old glow plugs 1 out of the four was a dud,, new ones work, how do you test the glow plugs are getting power to them when in place??

Hi,Thanks for the link to the relay,,, The door led's seem normal to me, as in they flash when the doors are locked,and when the key is in ignition they go off,if thats right.....

Hi guys, hope you can shed some light, i have a 1999 (v) 1.9 tdi Galaxy, Yesterday morning went out as usual, turned it over and it woudnt fire up, after trying a bump start and jump lead start still nothing,,, everything sounds good as normal, after searching i heard the glow plugs maybe the problem so changed them all,, and still nothing, All the electrics still work, im not mechanically minded so bear with me,, Any ideas on any possibles?? ive read a lot about a relay 30 that seems to cure everything, if only i could find it!! p.s had someone take a quick look and fuel is getting to injectors,
