wow! a maze is not the word lol. many thanks though Gregers. couldn't find what im looking for.

thanks a lot for this, should help me, I,ll have a look thanks again.

can anyone tell me where to find the acceleration sensor on a ford galaxy 2003 tdi ?. I know its somewhere on gearbox (on ford systems), so ive been told ??. any pictures would help even more. a diagnostics test was done and it pointed towards acceleration sensor, ive been told its on the gearbox of this model. grateful for any help anyone can give me. the problem with the car is as follows.. speedo not working. beeping of fuel, and fuel light every time I break or speed up. lights coming on and off on dash. thank you..

oh no. my 2002 19tdi has just started doing the same thing. this is an old post,so if someone has solved it can they post on what the problem was? daz7827 has posted how he solved it, but did this work for all? or just daz? this beeping noise is getting to me now. was told its the vehicle speed sensor, and that also came up on a scan. so, help please, as I don't know what to think after reading all them posts. lol.

thanks for the help on this guys. think its just going to have to be left in somewhere, and hit with a heavy price tag. I have tried everything I can, and no luck. but again thanks very much for the help.

yea done that Brian, wiring is fine. thanks again

I refilled with water to see if there was any leaks after it overheating and running out of water, the water is still at same level, and no leaks. this light only started flashing when the car had run out of water in the expansion bottle, but as I said, refilled and water level staying where I filled it to, but light still flashing. and never had radweld in the system at any time, but I will clean the sensor in expansion bottle anyway. just cant get this light to go off. thanks guys for the replys

oh and no leaks anywhere as well. so that's why im thinking sensor for the flashing light on the temp gague, just have to figure out what one.

Brian the red light is just below the gague. it ran out of coolant/water when someone had a lend of it, and when I got it back the light was on. I checked the expansion bottle and it was empty. the car was over heating, but does not seem to be over heating now, but the light is flashing. im thinking with it overheating one of the sensors have gone, either the main sensor on the engine, or the expansion bottle sensor I have got a new sensor for the engine just incase and will be fitting it soon. the expansion bottle sensor is not replacable, I would have to replace the bottle as fare as I know. everthing you said makes sence about the obd not reading the faults. I am trying to get the vag kkl 409.1 lead to work at the minute on my laptop, heres hoping. I will install it as you have advised and see if I can get it working. thanks for the advice and help Brian, im sure I,ll be back looking for more help lol.

just checked that model on ebay (d 900 scanner) it says it works on 96 and up fords, so I cant understand why it didn't read any of the 2 faults on my dash. mybe its just an ebay thing to get more sales? I don't know!

thanks for the info Brian. I did try changing the ports, and baud rate to 9600, and I think I tried vcds lite from rosstech. but think I used rosstech driver... I will try it again as you have said and see what happens. again thanks m8. I got a lend of a scanner today a (D900 VER 2012,, EOBD/OBD11) set it for ford,, scanned and it said, (no dtcs are presently stored in vehicles computer) but im guessing that model only works on 2002 and up, that's why it was showing no faults.

clive is your car a ford? I had a look at the one you posted the link to and it says its for, VW Audi Skoda Seat. I have two problem lights on dash. one is the airbag light and the other is temperature light flashing. I changed the squib ring under steering wheel, because the original squib ring broke when I got the steering wheel changed, so I need to clear the light, and I need to find out the problem with the temperature light flashing.

the message I got was, (port ok, device not found) and that was plugging it into the car aswell. tried everything. hi again clive. eemmm I wonder would this work on my car?. what year is your car clive? was looing at this checker, but when I contacted the seller he said it wont do my car and he doesn't know of anything that will do it. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200843979448 I think it must be the year of my car. most checkers/code clearing devices are for around 2000 2002 cars I noticed. thanks again guys...

sorry just noticed this topic. it could be a kink in the cable aswell. have changed my window mechanism twice because of this problem. first replacement was wond the wrong way on wheel, so I rewond it myself, the result was it was too loos and caused a kink in the cable, so I baught another window mechanism, replaced it and was fine after that. but check simple things first. run a screwdriver around the rubber and make sure its clear of dirt and stones, lub it up abit, and listen when it starts to move in the other direction when you operate the window for kinks.

hi everyone. I have a ford galaxy 1997 2.0 petrol. I got this same lead from ebay, but have tried everything to get it to work with vag com and failed. any advice please? have tried three laptops and my desktop, all the port changes and driver changes. I think this cable just doesn't do the job for this year of car.
