octo0072000

could also be the bottom arm bushes that are worn

get them to balance the rear wheels and put them on the front then rebalance the front wheels and put them on the rear wearing out the inner or outer of tyres is normally tracking out run your hand round the tread on the inner worn bit does it seem to be feathered easy to run your hand one way more than the other :(

autobox is supposed to be filled for life yours is a MK2 so you can only change the oil not the filter, you have to strip the box to change the filter on AG5 box take it to a good autobox place not a ford dealer get them to change it

as said pm me a no Ross the octo any updates on the problem seatkid now you have had time to think about it

as said pm me a no or text me on 07760731923 and i will get back to you regards Ross the octo

motortek are ok he used to own the garage on the bottom of barnsly road on same side as sun in loves jag and yanks kwik fit balby go in see staff off £20 cash for the coffee fund then they umm and arr and say £25 ok thats was a couple of years ago though told you mp me a phome no for a natter pills i have loads of them take about 20 a day but such is life no idea on them Formula One(£45) bet most of them tell you we cant find the high pressure side fill you should know where it is ???

i won't go near the place either i only live 3 miles from there pm me if you want to ring me to talk about it put it all in writing to vag hq copy of letter to dp and free press etc i did say dealer monkeys i wish you would have called me before regards Ross the octo

main dealer monkeys just got no idea make sure they repair the sills and kill the so called teckie at there cost

Severe back problems and old age (loosing my self confidence) are main reason. I'm already a bag of nerves that VW have f***ked something up (like my a/c). Booked into independent in 2.5 weeks time. <_< seatkid what part of uk are you in i did my thermostat and changed the sump gasket in about 4/1/2 hours all that would be extra to fitting a pump is the ring of pump bolts and a gasket

just drop off the aux belt first may still be aircon pump clutch

Seatkid alot of what you describe could be clutch related do you get the noise with your foot on the clutch not sure on mk1 is it dual mass flywheel just a thought if you move the cam belt cover out a bit there is a roller on the top of mine buy mine is a 110bhp auto reg 2000 i tried to pm you but say you can.t recieve pms??

iv's still got a piston wind back tool made for a old 2,9 Granada trouble is finding it it's in the shed somewhere don't get me wrong i like the right tools too

just extend the wiring but solder the wires and use electrical srinkwrap on them job done

did mine with a pair of mole-grips and a long socket on a extension bar it's a PITA to get the belt back on mine being auto as well the roller on mine has some wear on it bearing is ok but the plastic roller is worn looks like it's glued to the bearing so but a bit of bearing seal on the edges so it ran into edge of the roller left over night seems solid now also my 110bhp 2000 mk1 has the over run clutch on the alternator

Really? :) Well, here is a picture of my engine. Look closely at no3 injector and you will notice it is much larger than the others and has a wire coming out from the top to the right. funny that all references i could find on other places on those codes say senser is in the pump will have to have a look at mine when cover is off so i could be wrong according to yours is yours 90 or 110 bhp motor

Check the wiring to No 3 Injector - the needle lift sensor is part of No 3 injector. This sensor controls injection timing and problems here will cause limp mode at the very least. the senser is in the injector pump it's not PD engine so no wiring on the injectors i would change the fuel filter when you change the filter fill it full of injector cleaner before refitting it to the engine then drive it like you stole it to give the injectors a clean out

faulty starter from the solenoid there is a copper braid wire going into the starter these rot see if you can get it to spin using the braid if not new starter

the cracks in the wiring is a known fault on gals worst parts are tailgate loom and all the door looms between door pillers and door see http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.php?/topic/10371-galaxy-door-boot-wiring-inspection-repair/ battery tray is same with auto you have an oil cooler and more water pipes under there as well :) B)

you want a auto electrician not a garage but if it's all working ok just retape the wires with good quality electrical tape NOTE if you remove the battery tray you need to jack up the gearbox to support it those bolts that go through the tray hold the gearbox up as well

could be spare key causing that fault clear the codes you have to go into each controller to clear them on shareware looks like MAF senser has gone quite common check the wiring first on it clear the codes see if it comes back of not

OK update mine at 70mph is revving at 2700 rpm but mine is a 1.9tdi 110bhp auto diesels rev less the petrols so 3000 at 70 might be right for yours

only thing you can do is remove the gearbox and inspect if you jack both wheels off the ground and put in gear one wheel should go forwards one wheel back on a open diff with engine off the clutch /flywheel could have broke up and jammed breaking gearbox case

on mine 1999 tdi you don't have to touch any of the cam belt to change the water pump just the air-con pump and alternator and power steering pump

local car should shops have stick on glass one's some you have to cut to size plastic but work ok
