Hi, Galaxy mk2 1.9 TDi 115bhp. This piece of **** has been giving me grief for a while. One minute the heaters are blowing hot, next cold - after 30miles I would need to top the water up - maybe 0.5 litre or so http://www.forum.fordmpv.com/smf2/Smileys/akyhne/angry.gif Flushed the system and a large piece of brown build up came out (finger tip to wrist in length) see photo http://www.forum.fordmpv.com/smf2/Smileys/akyhne/embarrassed.gif Thought I'd solved the problem but no, it continued. Flushed the system out again this time with a rad flush and seemed to work great - for a day. Then yesterday when returning home the steam smell started in the cabin but no change in the instrument panel temp sensor - stayed at 90 degrees. Luckily I wasnt to far from home 0.5miles When i opened the bonnet the short (large) hose see photo had burst http://www.forum.fordmpv.com/smf2/Smileys/akyhne/huh.gif So after the thesis above what is the likelyhood that the head/engine is banjaxed? What do I check? http://www.forum.fordmpv.com/smf2/Smileys/akyhne/embarrassed.gif How many thermostats are in this engine?

Thx for the replies. Not sure of the fault code but he said the turbo was shutting down due to over boost and said the boost sensor was more than likely at fault. After he took it off and put it back on the car was sound for 4-6 weeks now its breaking my heart again. He did say that the turbo appears OK which would be my money concern, Seems to be a bit of pot luck on what exactly the problem part could be due to all the parts involved.

to the below right of the steering wheel, unclip the plastic cover and all the fuses are behind it

Hi, The local garage has told me it appears as though my boost sensor is faulty on my AUY 2001 1.9 TDi Galaxy, located at the rear bottom of engine behind a plate. To get a secondhand I need to find out the part number. Anyone know this? Also anyone have steps on how to replace? Is it tricky? Thx in advance Mr Noob.

Hi Xavier All the heat panel controls seem to work unfortunately the AC hasnt since I owned the car. Engine is at normal temp and still cold air. I might as well be riding the motorbike lol How did you fix the auxillary pump?

OK 1. With the engine running can you see coolant returning to the bottle through the small pipe on the side Yes 2. Does the auxiliary coolant pump work (located behind fuel filter) runs all the time engine is running. And for 3 minutes after engine is switched off (AUY code only) There used to be whirring noise after the engine was switched off. Would that have been this pump? Anyway there is no whirring noise anymore and the pipe leading to this unit has hot water but the unit doesnt seem to be kicking in. Will this cause any issues with engine cooling or is it just suppyling heat to the cabin? Should this be an immediate fix? How hard is the unit to interchange? 3. Does your booster heater work (jet engine noise from under car) Yes 4. Has your car ever overheated or lost coolant? Not since I've owned it

thx again

Cheers for the update. Do I need to apply a sealent or is the rubber seal good enough?

This is a mk2 1.9 tdi. coolant level is OK, thats the first thing i checked. However I didnt check the rear blower heat as I thought the front fed through to the back. Am I mistaken on this?

Hi All, recently the front quarter light glass was smashed on the car. Does anyone know how to replace? Thx in advance

Hi All, The heater in the Shalaxy is blowing cold all the time lately. The heater control appears to be working as I can hear the change in the heater itself. Does anyone know what the issue could be? How is it fixed? BTW the air con hasnt worked since I've had the car (4 yrs) so that shouldn't be impacting this recent cold spell (inside and outside the car lol) Thx in advance

Thanks

So powerloss could be a possibile cat coverter that is clogged with soot from town driving (previous owner)? If so, the best way to clean is take off and soak in an soot dissolving solution or a fuel tank additive? Any advice welcome as my Shalaxy powerloss is driving me nuts!!!

Thanks for info seatkid, maybe the Ford mech was winding me up. As my Galaxy Mk2 definately has a (DPF I dunno new to this) the Cat converter could be blocked from town use - correct? I so is the italian tuneup the correct solution or will this Ford mech method of taking off the exhaust and using a cleaner be a real option? I must have words with Ford mech :glare:
