I would just like to say thanks to everyone for your help so far.I have a lead now and downloaded what i think is the correct programme for my netbook but am still trying to get it to work with my Galaxy.Will let you know if I succeed

will buy a lead and give it a try and let you know how I get on

well couldnt wait so borrowed a torch and yup found it under the ash tray now newed to know which meter to buy off e bay to tell the codes?

thanks will check tomorrow when it is light

mine is the ghia model dont know if that makes a difference?

have checked there but no socket

I have looked on here for the situation of the socket to plug in a scanner for fault reading but it should be behind the glove box .I cant see it there and wondered if it is in a different place on my galaxy.Can anyone tell me where to look on a 1999 model 1.9 tdi galaxy for this socket?

ooh that sounds good I priced one at the local car shop here at £30 so not too bad.I was considering buying one of those fault code reader obd thingies off e bay as only £17 but might try the maf first

hmm when i bought it guy said as it had red round badge it was 135 bhp? Where do I find the engine code? What is a VAGCOM/VCDS

I bought a 2000 model Ford Galaxy the 135 bhp model and its a joy to drive . I would like to keep it for a long time as I bought it to tow a car on a trailer.I have just A framed a Peugeot 106 today and going up hills the car slows down and wont accelerate at all. When not towing it drives well with good acceleration. Does anyone know why this should be?The engines done 138,000 miles and has just had a new turbo ? The cruise control cannot accelerate up hills when towinmg either.
