On my 2003 Galaxy I have a problem with the front heater blower/fan.When it was on setting 1 & 2 the fan didn't work but the air con did.When switching to 3 & 4 the fan worked but the air con went off. I changed the resistor ,now the fan works on 2 , 3 & 4 but the air con doesn't .When in position 1 the fan doesn't work but the air con does. Any ideas ? Thanks

I had the water pump changed this morning (£120) and there is no change.I suspect it may be the additional (run on) pump.I rang Ford and they called it a "change over valve" and gave me a part number YM21-12B573GA .I rang a car parts supplier and they had never heard of it being called a change over valve.I'm now puzzled.Has anyone got a part number that the supplier may recognise . My car is a 2003 TDI 90 Galaxy. Thanks

Thanks Matt. I have had the car for 3.5 years.During that time I have done 60,000 miles .Because of the milage I do I check the oil and water every week.I have not needed to add any water at all during this time.The milage on the car is 163000.

I had a look for the run on pump .If it's the one I found it was very corroded all around it.Is there any way to test if it's working or not ? I took a picture of it ,but I'm not sure how to get it on here.

Thanks for your quick reply.If the water pump impeller has sheared off is it safe to use the car or is it likley to overheat ?

I have a 2003 TDi Galaxy.At the weekend the in car heater started blowing cold when ticking over.Driving at about 40mph the heater gets warm again till I stop at traffic lights.The temp gauge is steady at 90 degrees and it doesn't go above this at any time.I took the expansion cap off and there is no pressure at all and the water level is OK.Any suggestions please?
