hi matt, ok ive booked it in as this morning more smoke and diesel leaking from aux heater dripping onto the floor, it smokes when you come to stop engine running, also when i stop the engine and look the smoke is still coming from the exhaust pipe from the heater and dripping diesel, i have phoned the dealer so will let you know cheers mate smoggy

hi matt, we are pretty sure its smoke and it smells, my wife has just told me that it only happens when its really cold , first time we seen it we were like the others omg fire lol but i got out and noticed it was coming from the little pipe and we all could smell it inside the car not very nice at all , so i might just give the dealer a ring tomorrow and book it in for them to see it , apart from this the temp is ok goes to normal in a few mins and the car goes ok so thanks for the input smoggy also matt if it is over fueling which part is this causing it

hi guys sorry about the aux question again but can someone give me any advice i had the new heater replaced in march 2006 , i know that when you first start the engine smoke do come out of the little exhaust pipe for a little while but i have noticed it is coming out when i come to a stop in traffic and was flashed at from another driver to warn me again thinking that the car was on fire lol, now what could be this problem as it is only 10 months old ,should i take it back to the dealer as it is under their 12 month warranty , it is only just started to happen so please any help here guys thanks smoggy also i would like to thank you all for the kind condolences we received from you all when my mum passed away suddenly last year and we are just getting back to normal after the whole shock of it many thanks smoggy

hi guys anyone throw any light on this for us we had the tyres re-balanced after i told them i had a steering wobble ok went out today to try it and have a little steering shake no as bad as before it has inproved it but it still noticeable at about 70-75 slightly worse after 80 so anyone got any comments on it as we have had the other parts looked at to see if there was anything untowards but cant find any other problems after all the work we have had done to it many thanks smoggy

hi guys hows all, ok ive just had the following work done on my galaxy in the last 2 weeks track rod end, anti roll bar linkage,wheel bearing, top bush on 2 struts, wishbone bushes x2, anyway went to have the front tyres replaced yesterday wheel balanced and tracking went for a drive and now have wheel vibration, steering wheel slight vibration, and when sat in the middle of the galaxy it can be felt also anyone have an opinion on this as i think it maybe the rear tyres as they werent balanced with the front or they put the wrong balancing pins on one of the tyres i did notice that there were 2 on the passenger side and one on the drivers side so not sure if thats got anything to do with it anyway any help guys thanks smoggy

hi, just had mine replaced there are two belts - timing belt (cam belt) and the auxillary belt ( power steering etc) thats is it and i got a tdi the cam belt is covered by a cover the other belt you can clearly see all the best smoggy

hi mines was the same going off for no reason getting me out of bed 1-2-3 oclock in the morning, only a guess this but try all the door contacts in order by pushing in the rubber until the light goes off and then release to make sure they are turning the light on and off, once all them are done try the windows are closed tight as even the smallest of gaps will set it ( this was my problem) kids forgot to put the window up tight, also when the alarm goes off and you reset it go to the car and unlock the car first open the door this will reset it, it also not that ive heard any different that a fly can sometimes do it lol , on my other galaxy it was the door contact price about

hi all anyone tell me by what they meant by reset? did they reset the ecu by any chance as the fault has now gone so fingers crossed it stays that way thanks everyone smoggy

hi guys ok had the car back and no fault was found they had it on their machine for a while did not pick a fault up they told me they reset it and the fault has now gone / i have no idea what they ment by reset but it worked so ok now thanks alot guys smoggy

hi guys ok we bit the bullet and is now in fords to see what the hell it is so fingers crossed, we cant do anything more here so in it went waiting now for the phone call lol see you guys later with the news smoggy

hi mask, yes mate we have tried all we can now did you see the picture i sent in with the diesel filter as i wasnt sure if this was fitted correctly or not thanks smoggy

hi ive just had an email saying that the software for the ecu maybe corrupt is this correct aanybody know because it should reset after disconnecting the battery thx smoggy

hi on my tdi 2001 you turn on the ignition , press and hold tripmeter reset button for 2 seconds the service interval will be deleted smoggy

hi guys we suspect the maf simply because this car did not jump before until we put the new maf on so its down to that and the ecu, i dont think this has to be remapped or anything as i have read up in the forums that you disconnect the battery and fit the maf so unless the maf is faulty again as this is the second one or the ecu aint reading it properly or there could be a problem between the 2 at some point so going to phone a mate of mine who deals with this sort of stuff in the morning to see if he can shed some light on it as i am not getting anywhere at the moment many thanks smoggy

hello . anyone else care to comment on the filter picture is it correctly fitted ,and are the pipes in their right places by looking at the picture if you can im waiting on seatkid to come on to see it lol had enough now of this jerk/chugg/jump or whatever the blood thing is doing to me,it has only started doing this since the maf was changed so i think i will take itr back on mon and go to the dealer instaed that way i will know what i am up against anyone agree with me anyway thanks all smooggy

hi seatkid ok this is the way its been fitted but when the old filter was removed i am possitive that the clip side was on the other side so not sure if this has anything to do with this filter or the trouble i am getting thanks smoggy

hi i am in swansea, went back to my mate for computer reading this morning after fitting the coolant sensor no faults were found, but he suggested that when i had the diesel filter changed it may not have been put on correctly , so is there a right or wrong way of putting on the pipes to the filter as i didnt see the guy fitting these i would know anyone think the same as i cant think of anything else if i got a picture of the pipes fitted to the filter would someone be able to tell if they are correct thanks smoggy

hi i did forget to mention that if the maf is disconnected the chugging aint there so i was kid of thinking to take it back and go to the dealer for one smoggy

hi seatkid hows u mate, ok i got if from fmp in swansea it was the same part number and was a bosh make like the old one, yes my mate is a mechanic and has done all the changes to the car, no water in the fuel filter, yes i left the battery off when the maf was changed so no idea what this is do you think i should take the maf back ? smoggy oh the deisel sender or sensor is at the front of the engine green box in colour and is connected to the black fuel pipe that goes upto the filter thats what the fitter told me anyway also mate if it was the new maf i wouldnt have the power i got now which is excellent or would it be the maf?

hi mate, you are proberbly right but where do i go from here eh lol well pissed off now with it sorry for the lang but doing my head in now

hi guys sorry i forgot to mention that a ford fitter came out with me to confirm the location of the sensor and he asked what trouble i was getting so i told him chuggs/jump in low gears he pointed to the diesel sensor and said this was common on the diesels so now the problem is do i go out and get that part now and try that more cash again how far do you go aint it eh well i dont know what you think mask if your about mate but can you find out some info on this for me plz thanks alot smoggy

hi no we havent had it on the rolling road but i dont think that will provide us with the problem we think this is more of a fuel or temperture thing so only guessing here but its cost ing us money for it tho thanks smoggy
