AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!! My cutting out problem is back. After changing the vacuum pipes(one had a 1 inch split) the fault cleared. I have done maybe a 1000 miles with no problems going up hill/hard acceleration etc, but now the fault is back. Exactly the same as before. I have checked all vacuum hoses that were replaced all are fine. Ford say it could be the map sensor, but parts department are not sure which one of two parts it is, while their mechanic says it is part of the main ecu!! The one vaccuum pipe I have not replaced, runs from the inlet manifold along the rear bulkhead then dissapears behind the barke servo unit. I presume that it is going to the MAP sensor which ford says is part of the ECU ? any one know Galaxy is 1997 90 Bhp TDI If anybody has any suggestions or advice please help me!!

success!!!!!!! Changing my vacuum hoses have cured the problem. Found a 2cm split in one running to near the turbo. Other hoses were in really poor condition and were the original ones I suspect. Untill next time Will

hi This is my first post :) I also have this loss of power when the engine is loaded in 3rd or 4th gear. The engine appears to drop into limp home mode, with only about half power. Turn ignition off then on and its ok untill the next time. I have had it connected to a code reader and it says "Manifold absolute pressure". garage suggested to replace the MAP sensor. Went to fraud they werent sure which part it was as there diagrams show two components in that area both listed as just sensors. Coulndt tell me which one was the map sensor. :( Anyway looked on the internet and found this great site :( After much reading of posts on this subject most say to check the vacuum pipes for splits, loose etc first, as any problem hear can cause lots of problems. Checked mine all were practically disintegrating, the cotton sheath goes to dust when you touch it, where they have rubbed against each other they are wafer thin. So I am going to replace them all and see how it goes. Ford says the two sizes are 3.5mm and 5mm. reading suggestions from other posts I have just bought some silicone hose from ebay 3m of 3mm and 2m of 5mm, cost me
