Exactly. WD40 did the trick.

It may be something as simple as a spring. The spring that pulls back the accelerator cable seems a bit weak. I gave it some oil and it seemed to help. If that does not fix it I will change the spring.

It could be. I'll have another look at it tonight. Before it went crazy last night I could lower the idle with a quick step on the throttle. - But not anymore.

After normal driving it takes a long time for the motor to return to idle. Last night it kept running at 4000 rpm after trip on the motorway. - Scared the wife, made the teenage son laugh and also made it a bit difficult to drive through smaller cities.. As far as I can figure out it is either the IAC - Idle Air Control, or the MAF sensor - Mass Airflow Sensor . I'd like nok to purchase a part that is not neccesary, so what would be the most likely part to change first?

Hi all. This time I'm enjoying the challenge of finding a hole in the roof of my Galaxy from 2005. It is build as a camper, but I think (!) that I have ruled out the roof which can be lifted. I have put a couple of pictures here: www.foldberg.com/1.pdf and www.foldberg.com/2.pdf - 2.pdf shows a hole where the water enters the cabin. I cannot imagine where the water gets in. Any suggestions? - There is a spoiler in front of the roof. You can see how it here www.foldberg.com/3.pdf The car looks like this the the roof lifted: http://www.fyens.dk/article/253570:Bil--baad--camping--Smaa-campere-tromler-reglerne-ned

You may ask the garage to put in some UV refrigerant leak detector if yoiu cannot find the leak. After a day or two you can easily see the leak with a UV lamp. http://www.ebay.com/bhp/uv-light-leak-detector

I changed the pump into a brushless pump from BOSCH. Works nicely. http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.php/topic/23824-front-heater-no-good-rear-heater-ok/?hl=%2Bbosch+%2Bpump&do=findComment&comment=170750 Peter

Solved. At last. It turned out that after undercoating the engineer mounted a plog in the drain hole instead of leaving it open. I took off the wheelhouse (?) and pulled out the plug. I guess there was ½-1 liter of water in there. Thank you all for yoiur input! Peter.

So today I took it apart. Everything was nice and dry. Scuttle holes are fine. The sound of water in a bottle is stilI there. I took a photo and made a circle where I think the water is located: http://www.foldberg.com/img_0725.jpg I think that the water is inside the frame? I did consider drilling a small hole, but so far I have restrained myself.

Drain holes were blocked, but were dry as a desert. It's in fact a rebuild model that (in teory) can be used as an autocamber - for tiny people. The roof can be lifted. I wonder if a Hayes manual is available for the MK2? I found it for MK1 but not for MK2.

Thank you for you answer. I'm quite sure that it is not fuel as the sound is right in front of the driver. I'll try poking with the screw driver. It may be water inside the "A post"?

I have a Galaxy 2,3 from 2005. And I hear water. When the car turns and especially if you reverse and break a bit hard, you can hear it clearly. It sounds as if a half full, ½ liter bottle is placed 20 inches in from of the drivers seat. - A little to the left. Just about the place where the speaker is. It's a Danish car. The drain holes are working fine - tested with water on the wind screen. Any suggestions? As you can imagine it is starting to driving me mad. Peter.

Run on pump is changed into the brushless Bosch pump. Imported from Germany. http://seekpart24.com/bosch/additional-water-pump-392023004?c=100091&at= .

I just ordered one. I'll let you know how it turned out.

Yes. I noticed that. I also tried not to recirculate the air, but it did not change the temperatures. It was quite cold the other day and the temperature inside the car was below 0

Thank you for yoiur help! I have been trying to remove air locks. No good. The electric pump is as far as I know an "After run pump" to ensure that the engine is cooled down equally, right? It does not work, so I am thinking if the missing flow from the electric puump "C" is part of the problem? Please attacted picture. If it looks odd it is because I drive in the wrong side of the road. The temperatures were like this today: Ambient temp: -6

I'm trying to figure out why my 2005 Galaxy (2,3 petrol) does not heat up properly. The rear heater makes nice, hot air but air from the front heater is only lukewarm. Did already change the thermostat. That made no change. The water is about 90

There's your problem! Thanks again!

Thank you! Would have been lost without this. I made a PDF file with the pictures in it to avoid running to and from the PC. You can download it here: Relay30.pdfPeter.
