well the light can mean owt it needs to be diagnosed buy a cheapo obd2 reader off ebay bout

so will a obd2 compliant reader from 01 all petrol and 04 all diesel must be obd2 compliant

make sure engine not running. yes it will clear it with free version. take no notice of the fault it may be an old fault. once cleared if it comes back then its a fault. does your aircon work if so its not faulty if it dont work then it could be outa gas on mk1 the switch i think is in offside wing take the indicator out and thats the fill point and sure ssitch is there

plugs are massive difference, heater uses a short stumpy plug engine uses a long plug so u cant really mix them up and the price his paid points to aux heater plug. out of intrest im using cheap ebay glow plugs working now for 3 yrs no probs, mate bought expensive bosch ones lasted 2 mths before he checked them out of interest and 2 were dead. some times paying loadsa cash dont make it better also ive got a 15sec glow timer external on mine made by Bosch so plugs get a bigger bashing than norm as every ign switch on gives 15secs of glow regardless of temp or Ecu control

well tell em the fault give them the keys and say "fix it please" not sure but think them engines use a coil pack on the plug itself chance its breaking down. (im a tdi person)beware of these g/tes is it the garage doing the g/tee or a third party company if the later not worth the paper its printed on

i still reckon its your timing, if i was near you id sort it out. did you do the timing exactly as the instructions. pump dont need coding up as its the ecu that does the graft. had a thought as you seem capable of doing stuff take out one of your injectors if you can they get stuck in place so take care.slacken the pipe off and twist it about so you can reconnect injector and give it a crank see if you get a nice spray of derv out of it. just coz you get derv out of pipe when cracked doesnt mean its got pressure for injector to open

no relays are used so its out of switch down to front and rear fogs, check at switch see whats going on tho if one fog light is ok then its a high resistance joint so run a new feed from one to other to replicate original wiring and bypass the fault. comes off fuse 1 to switch then one wire out down to front fogs same on rear, if that helps. also check with engine running and make sure your using a good earth

memory serves me right its plastic bumber then foam stuff the steel. i left bumper on drilled the hole after lots of carefull measuring and slipped the wire down behind foam after making a groove, however if u have a towbar the foam etc isnt there

dont worry about it, as long as its whitish its diesel oil your burning. enjoy the car for what it is a oil burner as all diesels are. does it fire instantly on cold morns or do u have to crank it, if so its glowplug checking time

mk1's have heated front jets too

best thing to do is get the repair done then take it to another garage and ask how much for a pre mot or get another mot on car, i kow quite a few mot testers and when i take my car i tell them to go thru it like a dose of salts as i like my car safe same as you, dont go along the vosa route unless your 100% sure about it hence re mot car or when your at the place getting the free work done ask dude to give it a right going over tell him your worries

worth ago reprogging it cant damage it

had a snooze and dreamt about those sidepipes off the late 70's that were the rage and jack up kits on capri's and escorts, wonder what a side pipe would look like on a shalxy. just looked on ebay and by christ there still made tho lot of money http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PATRIOT-TWIN-CHROME-SIDE-PIPE-LAKE-4-STYLE-/120512310679?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c0f17ed97#ht_1851wt_698

bugger you beat me mirez

g/tee it if you go to rip off your car they wiill not give you that price thtas on the website, be great if you could go and see what they say for us on here to have a good laugh. good points and bad points is do u like car. drop links off ebay here u go ive used these no probs already done the work for you cheapest on net http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GALAXY-95-FRONT-DROP-STABILISER-ANTI-ROLL-BAR-LINK-X2-/160397917443?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item255875fd03#ht_2188wt_982 try them see if noise has gone, well worth the price to try. how do u know the lambda has gone only way to check is with proper diagnostics dont believe weekend mechanics with their shiny boxes and total lack of knowledge bet one has mentioned the maf at some point bad points are are you prepared to fix car or just give up as i had same dilemma 2 yrs back but i stuck it out and car is now mint tho still got a inkling to do more to car if i ever get the energy to do something as got a few ideas to give it more single looks

ill check with vagcom as that shows the boost pressure see what it peaks at for you on my afn 110

i got mine from NPA motor factors stll going strong after 3 years with no noise off you however fitted a st on a ford ka same make and only lasted 6 mths, case of pays your money. check price of drop links from all 3 dealers seat alhambra, ford galaxy and vw sharan all same part but 3 different prices

does this ticking only happen on first start of the day by chance

reminds me when i had a 2L gal and 2nd gear was hard to engage, anyhow done all the lube stuff and seemed better. sold car and bloke rang me said the gearbox had blown up caused by 2nd gear cog self destructing, gave him

2.5 times for coarse type fuse to blow which is used in cars so a 10a takes 25a to blow as its melting slowly yes its taking to much current so get an ammeter onto it see what its drawing

mate got one last week and its a new shape more flat without the deep cup ford reckons its a new mod stop water gathering in cup

cor wish i got them prices for 6 hrs playing and as they said it was fixed and its not get it took back and tell them to fix it proper

you cant detect drop link play as its under pressure for the cost of a pair i;d just change them you'd prob find thats your rattle as description points to it.

if its petrol then no it'll only read abs and airbags on the gal 2 and 2.3L not sure on 2.8 if its tdi then it'll do the lot

norm on the over run when it opens, if its running well now and doing all the right things its sorted, it was the pipe on the egr valve itself you blocked off as it shouldnt affect the turbo at all
