Hi davetech Haven`t done that yet - if no-one wants to buy our car, http://www.nettiauto.com/ford/galaxy/7872636, maybe it will be the time to do that... Could you tell me more about that conversion??? Jussi

Hi all folks We`ve got the 2009 2,2 Tdci Galaxy more than three years now. We are going to renew the car in next summer, weather staying with diesel or not that`s The Question... :5: Perhaps the most significant things to me is the torque and of course the acceleration rates :34: hmmmm. Now have been going up and down when trying to make my mind between those two Galaxies, the latest 2,2 tdci with 200 hp (considerable more than ours now, ie 175 hp and some 400 Nm) and the 2,0 ecoboost with about the same horsepowers. Unfortunately "we no can do" with the latest versions, too expensive still... Help me please - any knowledge of the real feel of differences between those two cars in every day life, anyone??? Jussi

Hi Neil Just having same kinda problem from same kinda place of the engine last january... I do live in Finland, the land of "siberian simulation" really especially in this wintertime... We have had some 25-35 minus degrees C for about three weeks almost continuously... I just came from work, having amazed the hard smoke onto exhaus pipes. Engine cut off, I stepped out and saw the trails of oil till the pipes, went then under the bonnet to look the oil dip. Just when lifted the dip, fire popped out somewhere at the situation you described... And all the time thicker smoke... Then, after the visit of the local fire brigade and the towing car, Galaxy spent some one and a half month at the Ford-dealer... Finally seemed to be - primary reason was the frozen engine breather system. Pressure then forced the engine oil to the exhaust system (first thought was via the turbo) and the hot oil got much more hotter in the DPF, which set on fire. Luckily enough, the fire set off as soon as started. Damaged parts of course were the dpf, catalyst, big part of the pipes, heat shealds and so on. But the turbocharger, undamaged. Now the car is in the everyday use. No traces whatsoever, engine seems and hears to be ok. This kinda problems are been quite usual here with the french made cars specially, the breather problems in wintertime. This engine IS based on PSA tdci -engines... Similarity???! Jussi

Hi I´ve seen one norwegian member here. Suppose there is not many of us "outsiders" here... Jussi

Hi all there :49: This is Jussi from Finland - hope this forum is allowed to be joined in by a foreign member also... So I didn`t find a right region to choose when joining - Finland really locates far far away in north-east from you guys I`m a quite dedicated cosworthist with a built 83/93 Sierra with 24vee and the same kinda technics in an original 93 Scorpio Estate, both now still having a winter sleeping phase. Recently bought a 2009 2,2 tdCi 143 kW Galaxy Titanium from Germany via a familiar middle-man. That will be Mk III then, right? I think that engine with Galaxy is quite rare here in finland, however it is presented in the importing programme by our Ford. What kind of experience of this auto ??? Kiitos ja hei Jussi :45:
