Hi Guys, starting issues with my Galaxy 1.9TDi 2002 - 150,000 miles ! Apologies for my layman approach to this post, but I have found that by giving as much info as possible someone will find a solution quicker ! Therefore, first thing in the morning key enters ignition then turned, glow plug warning lights briefly then goes off ....... there is a very brief ignition as if the engine will about to fire, this disappears & the engine will crank continuously without firing for about 10 to 15 secs then all of sudden kicks into life & off I go..... While all this was going on, over my right shoulder the Led light in the door is flashing like mad ! As soon as the engine runs this light goes out. I used to have a cloud of black smoke to accompany all this on ignition, but this has recently disappeared since the last service Oil Air & Fuel filter. Now, I'm certain the battery is OK as there are no signs of it weakening whilst cranking. Vagcom shows no faults ! One strange thing - the colder the weather (early Jan) the easier it appeared to start ! This is probably coincidence. Also, I used to hear what sounded like a pump kicking in over my left should - I hear no more ! One more thing, car cut out in low gears this morning 2 - 3rd transition & was a pig to restart ! I have read many threads with possible causes inc. fuel leaking back from the filter, low pressure fuel pump intermittently working (had the wiring checked on this & I'm told it's ok), fuel pump timing, relay problems, even mobiliser issues - my question is, is there anyone out there who has had the same symptoms as me & found a resolution to it quickly !! I live in the North West & would like any recommendations of a garage / specialist that can resolve this issue quickly. Any comments welcomed in advance

Hi Guy's, I have a 1.9 diesel on 51 plate - i'm suffering same problem now for about 2 months or more. It happened first thing today, #( Very Cold Manchester Morning..... :lol: ) Glow plug light off, Turn Key, Engine turns over - but chugs after about 6-7 secs, then it rumbles into life s - after giving it plenty of gas - this happens every other day, :lol: I have had the Glow plugs, air mass flowmeter, fuel filter changed but still it happens - anyone got any suggestions as to what it might be......hope its not the Fuel Pump (how can i check this ?) Need help on this as i'm worried as it gets colder its going to take longer to start or not at all :(

:o Sorry for being a complete numpty, but where is the aux heater ? & can the glowplug be changed easily on the driveway. Mine worked for a while in Jan / Feb then stopped working - no sign of life yet, does anyone know how i can test it ? Thanks in advance :lol:

I lost my engine power at about 55mph this morning, pressing the accelerator wouldn't increase the revs. I carried on for about 10 mins, parked up. When i returned to the vehicle i managed to get full power again Ive read a few topics on this subject, i'am wondering if anyone has had these codes before & what corrective action i need to take. I'am fortunate enough to have access to VAG COM software at work & have recorded the following Faults on my Gal 1.9 Tdi - here they are 17965 - Charge Pressue Control positive deviation P1557-35-00 19463 - Camshaft position Sensor (G40) No Signal P3007-35-10 01189 - Front Air Distribution Flap Motor (V145) 01271 - (V68) 00926 - Terminal 30 01491 - Glow Plug for Aux Heater (Q9) Does anyone know if any of these faults above are applicable & if they are what can be done to sort the problem. Also, what are the other faults ? Many thanks in advance Ed

:) Does anybody have a Spare Blank Key for Ford Galaxy Stamped on the side 5WK4 790/97/98 & W3 on the key itself for SALE ? & does anyone know where i could get it cut within Manchester Area ? I know where to get it programmed. Many Thanks :)
