Run On Pump ,where To Get One?
bigdave982 posted a topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
Hi all after killing my mk1in the snow I have got muself a tidy 2001 115 bhp ghia which i am very pleased with. Perusing this forum I read about the after run pump,lots of info which has helped me determine that mine is probaly going home!it sometimes needs a poke to get it going I read that the brushes can be replaced but id mess that up! Has anyone sourced these pumps anywhere else than fords?? -
hi guys got a similair problem on my p reg 90hp galaxy,seems to be the same symptoms except that i can also have a very lumpy tickover as well after mesing around changing pipes on both sides iof the turbo and not improving much ,it was recommended that i bypass the valve altogether. this has now been done so the small pipe on the pressure side of the turbo goes stariaght to the wastegate,( via the valve,by connecting the 2 pipes with the valve permananlty open)seems to have fixed it temporarily Did you have the lumpy tickovver,?? still

Thanks to all those that have post in the past -
