hi guys just to let you s know the pulley wheel that was glowing red hot turned out to be the air con pump which had seized up. thanks for the advice . GREAT SITE, CHEERS

thanks for the reply the belt snapped so i checked the pulley wheel that was red hot and it is siezed. is this an expensive job or is there a quick fix like a work around or something my air con does not work anyway coz one of the aircon pipes is snapped.cheers

hi all a little help needed, i have just drove my galaxy for about 20 miles on returning i could smell a burning smell.so i popped the bonnet open and noticed one of the wheels which drives the fan belt glowing red hot, the car has air con with the afn engine mrk 1 x reg.its the pulley wheel directly under the alternator. any ideas cheers

hi all i have a 19 tdi 110 bhp on a x reg dont know engine code though, i have a query is the crank shaft sensor the same thing as the speed sensor ,or are they 2 seperate things cheers

hi all just a word to let yous know i found the coolant temp sensor,its located on the front of the head on the thermostat housing,thanks for your help

i dont know the engine code or how to get it, but i suspect it is either a ahn or avg so i have been told

thanks for quick reply, i have changed this sensor but has not made any difference to the readout on the gauge. its the coolant temp sensor i need too change,what else could be the problem and what other sensor?

alreet can some one help me, i have a x reg 19tdi galaxy with the zetec engine,i was wondering does anyone know where the temp sensor is for the readout on the temperature guage. i have looked on this forum in the faqs section and seen pictures, but some say it is on the back of the engine then some say its on the front of the engine depending on what engine you have i suppose,and what does it look like, as i have had 3 different types from europarts they say it has been modified. any helpful advice would be appreciated. CHEERS

yes i think that well could be the case because i ran the hose down the scuttle and through the drain which is clear, but then i watched too see if i could see the water coming in and then i noticed it seemed to be seeping in through the wheel arch in the car, which is behind the wheel arch liner its been doing head in,so i undersealed the wheel arch in the car, but i will also do your trick with the silicone,when it stops raining .cheers

i did use the hose on the screen aswell but i will double check this tomorrow

hi no the car does not have a sunroof.

hi how can the pollen filter affect how the water is running down the wheel arch inside the car ?

thanks for your reply,as it is raining now i have checked for leaks and from what i can see there is water trickling down the wheelarch to the passenger front footwell i have used a hosepipe today under the scuttle but there was no water coming in at that time.any more thoughts would be appreciated. cheers

hi everyone newby here i need a bit of advice. i have a mrk 1 19tdi x reg 2ooo galaxy, i have read posts regarding water in the footwells, ihave cleared the drains in the wheel arches and flushed them through thinking it solved my problem but it hasnt,so i was hoping does anyone have any pictures, as to where the drain holes are where the pollen filter is,as this is the only place i suspect the water is coming from.i thought of the heater matrix,but would that mean i would still get hot air from the blowers,also i dont think the water level has gone down in the water bottle,thanks
