And what would the rpm be at that speed ?

It'll be there for 1 week only......get it now if you want it. MK1 Users Manual apologies for the poor quality and the size 7MB.

I think you may have found the answer to that already..

If you're having the starter can I have the Booster Heater and the Compressor... :)

I know I shouldn't laugh.....but I'm going to anyway :)

Is this 180 km per hour ?

Drop the seller an email and ask him. Then if it doesn't you will easily get a refund

Thinking of modding my passenger belt.

Try looking here http://wiki.ross-tech.com/index.php/00533 You can input the other codes into the search on the left. Most of them will be there.

Smitch, thanks for the advice, I suppose you get a different perspective on this when you see it everyday (and the after effects ). After reading this I would now change my mind and say stick them in the middle.

I would have thought F24 was the correct one.

The ebay ( vagcom ) leads and software work fine...assuming you have access to a laptop ( or portable PC ). I regard this as an essential tool for diagnosis of any faults on the Galaxy. Extremely cheap for its usefulness.

Probably more than the car is worth.

Probably, but it could still be the bendix gear giving the flywheel a big hug. See if you can get a 12v feed direct to the motor....just to be sure. Its probably a good surgeon ( that can count up to 2 ) with a needle and some thread that you may require.

Guys, stop picking on a newbie...... Carl, come back and let us know how the diagnostics went.

BJ is looking for a large hammer !

Or automatic.......one of the two !

If the Engine ECU is faulty/working incorrectly then this will greatly affect the engine performance. An autobox relies on the output from the engine to work correctly. However I doubt this is the case with yours. I am assuming that the gearbox has the correct oil and correct amount in. When they rebuilt the autobox did they replace the torque convertor ?

Double check the cables & connections at the Alternator and Fusebox as these are the most likely problems. It could also be a faulty battery and/or alternator, but my money is on the cable or connnections.

He's talking rubbish. Find a "specialist" who knows how an automatic gearbox works. The Engine Management ECU fail most likely means that the diagnostic software could not communicate with the ECU it does not necessarily point to an ECU failure. Could be a broken wire or incompatible software.

Feel free ;)

Personally I would sell the Alloys, you get a decent price for them. The cost of new ones ( minus the money from the sale of the old ones ) is worth looking at.

In comparison to most cars the Galaxy is quite sturdy. In the tests it done very well at side impacts and less well at frontal. Basically its much safer in the rear than in the front. They are much safer than they would be in a smaller vehicle. Also rear end collisions at speed are very rare.

Not really, it doesn't have its own fuse.
