Yea prob 2 is prob right, but the sound seems to be coming from in the engine itself, i would say around where the EGR valve is but i dont know if that can make that kinda noise, it sounds like a clack, and only does it once when you put your foot down, also does it when say, your in first gear at lights and you lift off the clutch.

Hi all. Damn car again lol, ok, problem number 1! This started today, when i start to accelerate i heard only what can be described as a clacking sound, it does it only once at the start of acceleration and does it in any gear when you put your foot down, the sound seems to come from the far front middle of dashboard!! Problem 2: White smoke from exhause under acceleration, not alot but enough to leave a nice mist floating around. Any ideas? Vagcom showing nothing wrong lol. Im going to cry :(

Possible Split Vacuum Hose
Davehillbo replied to Davehillbo's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
If it's gone sluggish immediately after belt change I would be inclined to think the timing is out. Hmmm i think you might be right, very small ammounts of white smoke now coming from exhaust, couldnt see this before because of the faulty MAF pumping black out lol -

Possible Split Vacuum Hose
Davehillbo replied to Davehillbo's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
Woo, changed MAF to a second hand bosche one off ebay, and its now driving perfectly! :rolleyes: On a seperate note, had cambelt changed early this year, and for some reason it seems slightly sluggish to what it used to be before the change, especially in third, any ideas? David. -

Hmmm out of curioisty I unplugged the MAF and ran it without it, and it seemed to stop the smoke! Could it be the maf? David. -

Hi all, I think I may have a split vacuum hose on my 1.9TDI, black smoke when accelerating, loss of power, vagcom finds no faults, just wondering if anyone has a pic of where these hoses are located. Many thanks David.

Clunking Noise Going Over Bumps
Davehillbo replied to Davehillbo's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
Ok, replaced it and its still clunking, when i was fitting the drop link i saw the big plastic cover under the engine is loose right next to the drop link, i bet this could be causing it, anyone got any ideas on a fix? seems to be missing a popper thing that holds it in place. -
Hi all Just wondering if theres a guide to clean the EGR valve on a 1.9tdi mk1 galaxy anywhere?, I dont feel confident enought just to rip it out and give it a wash lol. Many thanks David.
