Did anyone sort there leaking problems because I have one now and my windows are constantly fogging up

I have the locking tool but this doesn't allow for the cam pulley adjustment.

The head was off a working engine but I had it skimmed and pressure tested and professionally cleaned and all the seals replaced. With regards to the timing. What tool do mean.

When driving at low revs the car slightly judders and feels like it's misfiring. If I put my foot down and the turbo kicks in its smooth and feels like normal. (Full story below) So this has been a long 2 weeks of working on my car and I can finally drive it but it's not 100% back to normal. So I have a 53 plate 1.9tdi 130bhp Galaxy. I have owned it for nearly 5 years now. So a couple of months ago the car was driving perfectly but overheating and over pressuring so last Wednesday I decided to replace the head. So replacement head, head gasket, timing belt kit, thermostat and waterpump. We originaly struggled getting it started and when it did start there was no power. We tried adjusting the timing via the cam and that sorted the staring issue and I had a spare turbo and that seemed to sort the power problem out. The car seems underpowered and has a judder when between 1k and 2k revs then it cleared. I just assumed the turbo was faulty. The car managed to make 80 miles and then the turbo blew. So today I bought and fitted a brand new turbo. And did a service on the car. Now when driving there is no smoke but it still feels like a judder or misfire in low Revs and feels underpowered especially between 1k and 2k and I have no clue where to start. Now if it was a petrol I would start with spark plugs because that's the type of feeling you get. I'm stil thinking it could be the timing (cam) adjustment but am not sure. Thanks.

Mine is a 53. I found it. Thanks

It was oil in the pipes I think because it clearer up. Still not running 100%. Feels like it's misfiring

Iv sorted it now but thanks for the advice. It turned out to be the pressure switch. My new one turned up and as I took the old one off it had snapped. I now face a new problem. The engine is smoking nearly as bad as it was with the broken Turbo on

Hello. Glad you got your problem sorted. Just wondering if you could tell me where the switch is located. I have been looking today as I have oil light issues and I can't seem to find it. Thanks

Hello all. I replaced my cylinder head last week due to gasket failure and a warped head and all went fine. Less than 100 miles later by turbo broke. Smoke everywhere. So I did a service and fitted a new turbo yesterday and now every time I Rev over 2000rpm the oil warning light comes on. Has anyone got any ideas. Thanks

Does anyone know if this is the same on the MK2. Thanks

Thanks for the reply everyone. Brian H While replacing a water pipe a few weeks ago I did break the back heater pump. At the time I didn't know what it was just I had broken it. I have replaced it but I don't have any hot air coming out the back heaters now. I not sure if it was working before this point. If the engine is hot it appears the is no fluid in the expansion tank and when you take the cap off water gushes back into it and usually out everywhere. If you run it without the cap on you can see the water return and no water get forced out of the tank. The radiator seems to get hot all over. Silver beast. I never fitted the water pump so I am unsure. The one way valve was blocked at one point going into the expansion tank but I unblocked it. Every morning when I take the cap off the is still usually a slight bit of pressure but not much. I have checked and I get no heat out the rear heaters at all even when driving.

I have searched through for similar issues but can't find any exactly the same as mine. So I have a 53 plate 1.9tdi Galaxy. I started getting water related problems after my new water pump was fitted. I had a few pipes pop and I thought the system was pressurising too much but I was told it was just because it was a new pump so it was more efficient. I also ended up with an over heating problem that turned out to be a stuck thermostat. After changing the pipes and thermostat I thought it was problems over. It then started loosing water every day for with no singes of where it's coming from. It's a taxi so it gets a lot of use. Some mornings I will need around 1.5 litres and some it's only around 500ml. To me the system still seems to be pressurising too much. Also now the last few days my heating has decided to stop working when it's on tick over but soon as I start driving it comes back on. I have tried several things already.

I have a 2003 MK11 Galaxy that I have owned for for over 4 years and never had any locking problems. A few weeks ago I locked my car and realised only the drivers door locked. The other 3 didn't lock. This happened for a few days and then fixed its self. The problem is intermittent but I have now had to lock my 3 doors manually for a few days. Which I have learned to live with. Thing have took a turn for the worse now because I can't manually lock my 2 back doors. It's as if the dead locks have activated and not wont let me lock it. I have tried with the fob, with the key and in the boot and it's all the same. Thanks for the advice in advance

Have you tried re programming the fob
