Was there any further progress on this fault - I've had the same code pop up on mine a couple of times and I must admit I was wondering if it was caused by my "eBay special" VCDS cable or if my Aux Heater is on its way?

Thanks, but unfortunately for me it looks like I need a new metering pump as mine worked fine with a full tank after bleeding, but with just under half a tank I'm now getting: Monday, 10 December 2012, 23:11:51.

I was about to ask a similar question - my newly fixed booster heater wasn't running after a journey yesterday when I know it started up fine from cold. I have bridged the temp sensor so I know it wasn't latent heat cutting it out. Is there a set of conditions where it stops running - it seems to make sense if you are on a long journey which works the engine enough to no longer require the booster to maintain temperature, or is it just a sign that my run-on pump also needs some tlc? I'll download the fault codes later when my wife brings the car back.

Hi, I need soome help and thought I'd resurect this old thread. I have factory Xenons on my Galaxy MkII and the dipped beams are aligned fine and recently passed an MOT. My main beams are a different story all together with both pointing to the left hand side of the road. I know from previous work which adjuster is the height control, but will adjusting the other (horizontal??) one wreck my low beam adjustment or is the horizontal adjuster only for the main beams?

Result, I think. I checked eBay and found the same motor from a 2001 VW Golf with 35 minutes left on the auction. Picked it up for £15 + postage. Fingers crossed that we can move on to my other dramas next.

Can you help out a near suicidal Galaxy owner? I'm going through the mill with the Galaxy at the moment, but I have an urgent problem that I need some help with as the car is off the road at the moment. I'll be asking the slightly less urgent questions in the coming days when the car is back on the road. In the recent wet weather my O/S headlight has managed to get water in, and it was enough to drown the levelling motor. My car has Xenons and the short adjusted the headlight to it's highest position, jammed itself and looks like everything has burned out. The circuit board is trash for sure. I urgently need a part number for the motor. It has the following stamped on it: 0 307 853 305 13.07.05 1 J0 941 295 E My car is a 2005 TDi 150 Ghia with factory Xenons. Thanks in advance

I'm getting exactly the same symptoms (even the new battery last spring) on my 2005 1.9TDi and was also thinking that it might be relay 109. Working normally it starts instantly, when the fault occurs it will spin for ages with no firing. If I let it spin long enough, or try a second (or rarely third) time if starts normally. I've never had a cut out when the engine is running but the starting is getting more frequent.

Hi Gregers I've not found the thread about the run-on pump - will go looking again, and I've never had the clouds of smoke to be expected when the glow plug fails so I suspected a quick check of the errors and reset in VAG COM might have been the quickest way to get myself on track with cause of the problem. I am also well aware that the controller on my unit is often the culprit. Thanks

After working flawlessly all last winter, our 2005 TDi 150 Galaxy now refuses to start the booster heater after the summer break. It's been to our local independant VW specialist who tells me he can "hear the fan turning" but can't find any errors on his diagnostic computer. He wants to replace the glow plug. To be honest I think he is much better with his spanners than the laptop and so I'd like some help to diagnose the fault before throwing good money after bad. Is there someone with VAG COM or somewhere recommended that can help me with a diagnosis? Would be willing to travel a reasonable distance and if a member can help, I would be willing to pay for your time. Thanks

Thanks - do you know if that's where the timer module is?

My 2005 Mk2 Galaxy has developed a switching problem with the heated screen. Almost every time I start the car the heated front screen comes on and goes off a short time later. When on or off the push switch on the dash only actually switches its state maybe 1 time in 10 pushes. I have swapped the relay R23 labelled 100 today but this seems to be a simple switching relay and hasn't made a difference. Can anyone help with this problem or point to either a wiring diagram or the location of the timer unit which could well be the fault. Thanks

Perfect, thanks.

I don't have the old alternator as it was an exchange unit, but the noise started after the turbo replacement. The alternator was swapped about a month later and swapped again a few days later because the garage initially fitted a 90 amp unit instead of a120 amp. On that basis I think I can safely rule out the alternator pulley based on identical symptoms with 3 alternators and pulleys. Its going in this week for a new aux belt and to get the guide pulley checked as I'm told by the VW specialist that a guide pulley can make the same noise as a screeching belt. It's strange that both of us have only started with this problem after the car has been for work.

Thanks - I have a MK2 so the aux belt is the one with the tensioner. Couldn't track down what I needed with search so far.

I have a problem with my car making a strange noise and I've decided to swap the auxiliary belt. Can anyone tell me how easy this is - do I need to slacken off the tensioner in any way or is there any clever technique for the job? Does anyone know the approx cost for the belt? Thanks
