UPDATE

 

Had the pump out the tank this morning. It was a little dirty but not bad for a 10 year old car. Cleaned it all and checked it is working. Put it all back together and decided to check the timing.......well that was until i found that my locking wheel nut socket is missing......do not think body shop had put it back in the car last month :o

Hope it has fixed it for you. TPS here wanted

I have just done my this afternoon. I used a pair of long nose pliers to pull the plugs off the injectors . Then if you look on the bar with the wires running through there are clips for the plugs to sit in , the new one will already be clipped in if you look. Then draw the whole thing out but you will need to press the steel clips in with a screw driver as they go through the hols in the head.

Bit of an update...

 

I have just changed the loom and it has not helped. When you first start up it will idle nice and smooth but after a short while it starts with the rough almost miss firing sound.

 

This did just start all of a sudden, came out one morning for work and it just didn't seem to want to start. I had to wind it over for quite a while and then it picked up and ran fine, that was until it sat for most of the day to come home. Same again next morning etc. Then all of a sudden it was back to starting first flick of the key but with the rough idle. Now thinking back the only things i have done is swooped from Morrison's fuel to Total and at the same time put some forte (sp) injector cleaner in.

 

I look as best i could at the cam shaft and it looked and felt ok, and i also put a dmm on the injectors and they all read about the same 0.5/6 ohm iirc.

 

Is there anything in vag com that will show if the fuel pressure is ok?

 

Thank you

Your 2002 model will have a PD engine. Rough Idle is often a faulty injector loom or connectors. Do a search to find out more.

 

Whoosing noise from passenger footwell is normal when recirculation is turned on - the air intake is then from that area. if recirc is definately not on then "kettling" type noises are usually an indication that a/c gas is low. (but not low enough for the pressure switch to inhibit the pump), in this case cooling is very weak.

 

No cold air from a/c - how do you know pump is spinning? Does the electromagnetic clutch clack loudly when you select a/c along with a momentary dip in revs?

 

Thank you for the info on the loom, is there anyway of testing it at all?

Looking thru the forum last night for something else I came across this post http://www.fordgalax...h__1#entry63129 which describes a noise from the a/c. Just wondered if this sounded like your whooshing?

 

That does indeed sound about the right place. I will get it checked after the running problem is sorted. Thanks again Alan for your help.

Summary - you might have already cracked it, but if not try update or reinstall of cable drivers and vcds-lite.

 

Waffley post....

LBL files are somehow used by vagcom / vcds-lite to "interpret" and define the data that goes backwards and forwards and put some information about parameters on the screen I think. I'm pretty confident now that file selection is done automatically by vcds, so led you in the wrong direction with that - apologies.

 

Have you re-installed vcds/vagcom since you last used it, maybe on a different laptop or os (Vista or 7 instead of XP maybe)? Possibly worth trying to update the drivers via windows, otherwise my inclination would be to download a fresh copy of the latest vcds-lite from ross-tech and the drivers from the cable chip manufacturers (ftdi probably - http://www.ftdichip....Drivers/VCP.htm), then uninstall and reinstall. I found this reference http://www.vwaudifor...ring-Blocks-N-A to what sounds like a very similar problem, caused by drivers.

 

Did a driver update on my system just now, and it loaded at least one updated (was 2011, now 2012) file - and it still works!

You might know this already, but you need the cable plugged into the laptop to see it in device manager (com ports IIRC) so you can update the driver.

 

Hopefully this will work and codes will give you the information you need to sort the car out!

Good luck

 

Hi Alan

Thank for taking the time to reply again. I have got it working now....it was indeed a driver issue. I can now see in the mease blocks. Unfortunately i do not really understand them enough to see where the idle problem is coming from. There is no fault codes stored ether. I also can not seem to upload the log file, even when zipped up.

 

Thank You

 

John

What year model box trim level do you have? Wondering if perhaps for some reason lbl file is the wrong one but can't check atm as the laptop with the working battery is out with my GF...

 

 

 

Hi Alan

 

Car is a 2002 1.9tdi gear with 6 speed manual box. I have no idea what a lbl file is.

 

Thank you.

Hi Alan

Thank you for your reply. I do not seem to be able to attach vag com logs but here is a screen grab. The car is really frustrating me now.

Ok

My car has been doing some strange things of late

poor starting.....having to turn over for ages then will pick up and go.....this sort of seems to have gone away.

 

Now i have

 

Rough idle

seems down on power

 

Air con also stopped blowing cold but pump is spinning and there is a whooshing noise from passenger foot well.

 

car still returns decent mpg though. Anyway got my vag com working today and have just done a scan. No fault codes. So i look in the meas block park and there is lots of n/a where i am sure there used to be figures. I have attached a log file and hope some one can point me in the right direction.

 

Really concerned now as i have moved work place and have to travel 30 miles a day.

 

The strange thing is in the meas blocks part of vagcom is the missing info. Most things say N/A. The block that shows the injectors is only showing injector number 1 the other 3 say N/A. I really do not have a clue what is going on with it. I have looked around here but not found any similar faults.

I would not touch that 15 inch version, i got one a few months ago and it was terrible, dark picture and real bad build quality......the dam thing also went up in smoke. I sent it back after a few emails and got the smaller one they do and that is spot on and only

I don't like the sound of stranded springs LOL car looks like it is on stilts :lol: I just wondered if any one else had the same issue as me..........guess there is all ways the old grinder on the arch tick :lol:

 

 

 

 

I'm sorry what was the question again?

 

I was drooling over the Scirocco rims.

 

 

 

There's not much you can do without coilovers or air-ride, except puy it back to factory springs on the rear, which could throw out the handling.

Hi people, well i fitted the gmax springs a few weeks ago and they seemed to have settled in now......but i seem to get the back out bottoming out and the arch's and tires are hitting, not all the time but when i have people sat in the back, the rear shocks are the original ford ones, i believe they are gas but i am not 100%. Any one else have the same issue? what have you done to cure it? I guess new rear shocks could help but again which ones to get? I am off to the south of France this week and i am a little concerned.

 

Wheels are 18inch with 235/40/18.

 

 

Just a couple of pic's of how the gal sits....see what you think

Sorted it now thanks, it didn't like win 7 64 bit for a start :blink: put it on my xp box and its fine. Thanks for the reply anyway.

Do you have any install instructions for this at all please ? Would like to have a look at it. Thank you.

I t has been found, so there is a happy lady in Barnsley tonight.

I know it's not Galaxy related, so I hope it's OK to post this link here.

Please get in touch if you see this much loved Landy.

 

stolen landy

Yeah I like them, are they 18 or 19" ?

 

 

they are 18's did look at 19's but near enough double the price :)

Depends on what gearbox is fitted.

Mk1's fitted with the Ford box require a special fluid.

 

Somehow my crystal balls are a bit misty today. :) and I unable to guess what model, year, variant etc you have!

 

 

 

ah yes good point, mk2 1.9tdi 6 speed :D

Hi

Can anyone tell me which gear box oil i need for a 1.9tdi, i know it is not normal ep 80/90 stuff but trying to find what it is and where to get it from is being a pain.

 

Thanks

 

John

When i got my Galaxy the left to right was very stiff to the point you could go into 1st insted of 3 rd when changing gear. I removed the battery tray so i could see wgat was going off and the gear linkage was fine, on the gear box linkage there is a white (on mine) bush which seem to be where the stiffness was coming from, i took the clip of the end and when i tried to pull the bar out it was very tight, anyway got it out and then with a short (snapped in half)10mm drill bit i opened the bush back up, then a little bit of grease on the pin, put it back together and it is now fine......sorry if this is a ramble but i didnt take pic's but hope it points you in the right direction.

yes thats the way to wire it up

Hi, hope this works, Got to say to anyone looking, this is a humble guess to how I would wire up a 4 pin relay....

 

If you can make any sense out of it, could you guys that know, have a look.....

 

 

 

Looks good to me

Cheep relay here and it shows a pic on top of the connections, the trigger is what ever feed you use, ignition, dipped head lights etc

Hi

Hope this helps, you will need a normal 4 pin relay for this, i would prob use a 20amp. I have done a very bad paint image to show you how to connect the relay. You do need 2 lives to the relay but i would have the trigger live from the ignition so you do not forget and leave the lights on.
