poumaret

finally sorted the problem , after speaking to a friend of mine in france who had a similar problem and cured it by putting an adative in he sent me a pack that you put in one for the diesel and one for the oil. the galaxy got better and better till after about 200miles was back to normal so assuming it was a fuel injector problemas I only put in the diesel one . thanks for all the replies and help offered

you can test the maf by the 4 wires going into it 1live 1 earth 1 sends to maf one send to ecu. when you have found the earth via a volt meter then connect meter to earth and one of the others, if you have the right one at tick over should read about 1.5 then when reving up the reading should go up and down as you rev up and down/ its the 90bhp engine

you cannot beat the old fashiond ways cannot do without my old lump hammer

no I do not have to switch off and start again,when we get to top of the hill it runs as normal till next hill, does not rev high, start easy every time it is not low water does not use any,thanks anyway

thanks for the replies, its a 1,9diesel, the brakes are ok , its the temperature gauge in the dash that hardly gets out the white . the maf sensor checks out ok. is the turbo a pain to do.. I have heard the if the temp is not going high enough it can affect the engine performance though seems to get hot enough,ive checked the thermostat and changes the sender unit it has 4 wires to it.

my old galaxy seems to lose power going up any half decent hill , goes as normal to start with then suddenly loses power as if I have taken my foot of the excelerator ive also noticed the temperature gauge does not go up as far apart from that everything ok , I know there is someone out there had this problem so if yoyu can help thanks

if only it had an injector seat

after my starting problems with a mk 1 galaxy sorted with help from this site I had a look under the passengers seat and there was the red stop button with 4 wires to it I assume one was live through it to the stop on the pump perhaps im wrong but what do the other two wires do any ideas please

ups sorry forgot to update. when I finally got to relay 109 I put my finger on it turned on ignition felt it click when tried to start it clicked again so disconnected the battery got a new 109 for an audi/ vw fitted it connected the battery and it started so tried the old one to check what happens and it started, needless to say I put the new one in no problem since. whether original 109 acting up or immobilizer reset after battery being disconnected for 2 days don't know but ok now thanks for the help.

thankyou for the assistance. it takes a change to find a web site that's helps for free instead of trying to rip you off for info that does not relate to your problem and so called free sites that want a joining fee thanks again

thankyou for the replys I will check the relays sorry forgot to say its a 1998 1.9 diesel

went out to start galaxy Thursday turns over like mad would not start checked under passenger seat that's ok checked filter that's ok assumed must be immobilzer as when try to start turn key to activate lights door red light comes on for about 10 seconds then goes off turn key to start red light flashs a couple of times then goes off car will not start is there anyway of bypassing immobilizer to check
