you can check the maf by having a little drive then unplug the maf (its onn the intake big pipe just unplugs) do a bit more driving and if its got more power your maf is dead if its worse your mafs ok. trouble with fords is that vagcom cant be used on them to check sensors out, im sure somewhere on here thers a guide to checking your maf. theres no tuning can be done by a garage unless you get a full remap on a rolling road about

Locating & Removing Ecu
zorgman replied to jflet1's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
ecu is behind the clocks as far as i know on facelift, deffo vagcom or run a diagnostics first doubt your ecu is fauty ive got a spare one with 2 keys if u get stuck or if you were closer to sunderland would run my tester on car for yo -
thought the vanes are on the exhaust side so its burnt chemicals going into turbo trying to clean the carbon off the vanes, so redex is probs the same and much cheaper, always worth the try tho saves a lot of work and skin, but at end of day itll never do the sme job as stripping it off. do a check on the actuator make sure that it'll go thru the full stroke to check operation

Turbo And Maf Problem?
zorgman replied to TeamGreen's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
if yo have hiss at dash the ecu is begind clocks chances are its not connected but also theres a vac pipe goes to the heater speed switch for air recirculate. inside the ecu is a small link pipe that connects to the map sensor, this goes all gooey soft and the vac can suck it in and it clags together so stopping the vacuem getting in. i changed every pipe on mine used 15foot of pipe to find out about ecu internal pipe had gone -
not your maf its the turbo giving you the grief, always when testing erase codes then do a run then retest as you dont know which is new or old

Rough Running Cold Tdi

no meter then spark test them. get at plug tops by pulling off the covers to each one, get a wire from battery positive them touch top of each one, good ones spark dead ones dont, are you waiting till light goes out. if you have a meter also check that the relay is working by testing if supply is going to the plugs, i wouldnt worry myself mines done that for 2yrs in all temps -

zorgman replied to Alanuk's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
the tdi's have a clutch on them. to check put small screwdriver to hold te fan then see if one way you can turn the pulley other way you cant, thats the clutch. something to do with a mod that was done years ago for the bottom pulley on crank, ill find out for you. check this out its with all tdi's from 90hp up including yours http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...ost&p=95499 think link will work but its in the faq's at top about it -

right then, the relay controls the rear hatch door nothing else, the inertia switch has a button on top press it in to check it infact you can short it out to test it, theres 2 types of units fitted called comfort control a 2 plug and 3 plug the 2 plug has no alarm the 3 plug has an alarm. you need to check the basic items first have you a spark (only petrol models have the cut off switch) have you got petrol flowing by memory theres a valve like a tyre valve you can press in to check this
