Any ideas?

I do belive a glowplug needs replacing, but the maf has been recently replaced and no vagcom errors.

Hi all I have a 1998 1.9TDI 110bhp ford galaxy, and over the past few months has been smoking quite a bit, it takes a bit to start at the moment and once it has theres white smoke for a few seconds then goes, but when driving, I get black smoke from exhaust, and more so if say, im in a high gear and the car is struggling up a hill with low RPM, I also seem to get it when accelerating hard. Has anyone got any ideas for this one? Also, I dont seem to have any power loss. Thanks. David.

Hi all, the cable at the connector to the injector was brittle and it snapped, I have replaced this with some spare cabling and now the car runs perfectly! Many thanks all!

Hi all, My Mk1 Galaxy is leaking, it leaks in from the passenger side roof area where the drains are. It looks like the hose has actually come away from the metal drain on the sunroof as I can see it when looking down. I have read that you need to take the covering off the inside of the galaxy to get at this, please can someone inform me how this is done? Many thanks! Dave.

Hi all, my galaxy Mk1 is experiencing real loss of power when accelerating. Have run vagcom and its brought this code up: 1 Fault Found: 00542 - Needle lift Sensor (G80) 30-10 - Open or Short to Plus - Intermittent Any ideas what this is, and how it can be fixed? is it an easy job or a pain? Many thanks!
