Over filled with oil maybe ?

Is it common for the intercooler to leak oil? Recently noticed mine looking like it had fresh oil at the bottom to the side of the cooler :( Is there a diagnosis checklist and is there a common remedy like replacing the cooler or pipes or both? What causes the oil if air is passing through - oil vapour from the EGR? Thanks Gary

Great doc and thank you.

Thanks Mirez - that would be greatly appreciated. :)

Hi. Was it easy to remove the valve and manifold ? How long did it take you? I know mine could do with a clean Thanks Gary

I have the same problem (and low pressure on vagcom). Looked at getting a replacement condenser and fitting myself then getting it regased. Is this a DIY job ? Thanks Gary

not sure if this will work for you - but it did for me :-) get the key that opens the door put it in the lock turn it to the unlock position 3 times and the led in the door will flash then i think you hold the lock button and press unlock 3 times this will program the key fob then just put the spare somewhere safe

Hi - Thanks - I had the same issue yesterday and followed the procedure above - worked for me :rolleyes: Thanks Gary

hi - they never made a haynes manual for the mk2 - but you can pick up a TIS cd of ebay for a couple of quid. Gary

uk_promonsta - let us know how you get on - thinking of doing this job myself. :wacko: Thanks Gary

hi all - Having issues with the parking sensors, - put in reverse then solid tone and flashing button :) I have connected VAGCOM and it does report a rear fault open/closed - when I listen for the clicks, there is one that is not clicking. i have wiggled the cables etc and don't see anything lose (but I have not taken it all off yet). Is it reasonably safe to asume that a replacement sensor is needed? and i did check for the swimming pool around the control unit and its dry (for now :) ) Does anyone know where I could get a reasonably priced sensor or if any one has one for sale? i have so far seen these on ebay - would they work? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-Galaxy-VW-Sharan-alhambra-1-PDC-PARKING-SENSOR-/110646158710?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19c3066576#ht_817wt_1139 many thanks - this forum has saved me a time and cash and given the confidence to tackle issues myself (and know the truth) Appreciated Gary

sticky turbo vanes - common problem on the 115bhp - lots of info on the forum..

18 is the correct module - i had the same problem - if you still can not connect to the module - check the connector plug next to the heater under the car. I had to disconnect and drop the heater (easy job) and found broken and corroded wires, solder and heat shrink solved the issue. hope this helps Gary

Hi All - Great article with lots of pics for the run on pump - for disassembly, brushes etc.. http://forums.fourtitude.com/showthread.php?3038022 hope this helps Gary

Do you have climate control - if so turn the air-con on as the fans run all the time when on :lol: Temp for fans kicking in when AC off is on the forum somewhere - but will have to look around a bit further for you The vibration could be down to the aux belt tensioner (common problem), but check you power steering fluid level first :D Gary

Thanks Chris - yes she has done 105K, any ideas where i can get the brushes from? - is it a straight forward job? (looks like it is), or if there is any "how to for it". Thanks again Gary

Hi Guys - i recently fixed my aux heater (thanks to this forum :rolleyes:), after fixing the connector, and replacing the glow plug, clearing the fault codes using VAGCOM the heater now works :unsure: My concern/question is that i understand the heater should not be working if the coolant is up to temp? - i drive for about 45mins at a time down the motorway and when i park up i can hear the aux heater running. should this be the case? Also if i turn the ignition on when cold i can feel the run on water pump working (well it vibrates a little) but when i switch the engine off i do not hear/feel the run on pump working at all . I understand that this should run for 2 mins or so?. So my question is : is this normal - is there any way for me to check the correct operation - do i have a faulty pump or sensor? Many Thanks Gary

Yes - condenser needs replacing as it is leaking gas - vagcom confirmed low pressure, so cleared the fault to stop the display flashing and will keep it in econ mode until I can afford to replace the condenser. Thanks again Chris for your help :D

hi everyone - sorry for the late update - i finally replaceed the glow plug on the aux heater (after being sold the wrong onen :D ), cleared the faults and tested again with the temp sensor shorted. Finally it did spring to life (and hot) :D . But i now notice that when i switch the ignition on - the complete climate control display flashes for about 10 seconds then goes back to normal - any ideas? oh btw - i got the plug from www.vwspares.co.uk for

I had a similar issue when I first got my Galaxy - turned out to be a worn clutch release bearing. -

would this be the plug i need ? http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=54 used this company before - looking at

Helps a lot <_< - i shorted out the sensor to test - but i like the idea of the switch - will order a glow plug from VW - unless if anyone knows is they can be purchased on-line. Thanks again

Thanks Ian - i took the heater off and looked at the connector - and found one of the wires (red) split and corroded, managed to repair it and i CAN now talk to the controller using VAGCOM. <_< Only issue i have now is that it is reporting a 01419 code - glow plug open circuit (i think) - any ideas? Also the unit looks to be a D0HYA (not sure if i have the right code) - is this one that could be opened and a new plug replaced? Many Thanks Gary

Hi - so i have checked all the fuses -all good, I did find the multi connector - could not see anything wrong, still can not see on vagcom <_< Should i be able to see the controller in vagcom even if the temp is above 10c right? Ian - thanks for the feedback - when you had the issue with the connection did you have a pin out to test the voltages on the connector of was there just a visible broken wire? Thanks Gary

Thanks Chris - is the multi connector on the heater accessible from under the care with having to remove the unit?
