I got someone to read the codes. It says: Speed sensor Is this something that can be in-expensive changed ? IceBoy PS. Car sat on driveway for weeks now?

This morning for the first time....the autobox would not shift from 2nd. It stayed like this for about 5 mins......I continued driving very slowl around my estate this morning and then all of a studden back to normal again. What causes this? Is it the begining of something worse to come? Is it going to be expensive ? Car has done 79k... Help IceBoy

Hi All, My side lights have gone....yes both of them now ! How do I change them? Do I undo the complete light and pull it out or is there a way from behind the wheel. If I turn the wheel I can put hand and get to the side light......how do I get it out - turn it, pull it ???? Help much appreciated. IceBoy

Hi All, My drivers side window does not work any more...I get a slight buzz/blitz but nothing moves....If I try to wind it down again the hazzards flash for 3 times and then nothing. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. IceBoy

Hi All, I have noticed that sometimes the Gal feels like it has a CVT multitronic gearbox ! EG....there is only one gear....the revs dont seem to drop and rise much when acclerating. Then sometimes you can feel the the gears and the revs droping ? Could this be the cluth on the way out? Help much appreciated. IceBoy

Hi All, I was in a bit of a hurry and did some fairly brisk motoring on the motorway and A roads for about 45 miles. I probably averaged about 18mpg....so that might give you an idea of the style of driving adopted. This morning the turbo seems to be whistling rather than whooshing ?? Help.....getting worried now? IceBoy (getting very hot under the collar)

Can I just phone Ford up for the radio code....I have looked through the manual and there is nothing ! HELP....I need my music !! IceBoy

Hello All, Hope everyones Gal's are fine ? I can't seem to reset the service indicator in the dash? I have followed the format in the FAQ 3 times...still no luck. Any other ideas? IceBoy

Now I'm confused ! If the front A/c is set to cold....the rear dial to cold and fan in position 2-3 should the back blow cold A/C air ?? Cheers IceBoy

Doh !

Hi All, The front is blowing nice and cold but the air vents in the back on the bottom rear side are warm ? It is all set to cold. Any ideas? IceBoy

Got a new bulb.....changed the fuse ! Now working.....but I think the bulb that has been given to me was wrong !!! 5w in sted of 4w....looks like one side has it brake light on. SO will go and get correct bulb later. TTFN IceBoy

Hi All, I changed the side light bulb on the drivers side rear and it still does not work? The bulb was from a local petrol station but I don't know if the Gal requires a special bulb or something ?????? What else can I check??? Help. IceBoy

Thanks ! That looks like it.

OK thanks All.

it has the correct PD oil. I just want to know if there is an additive that can make it better. I use Slick 50 on my GTI's and have used Wynns in the past. Thanks for the input.....help much appreciated.

Hi All, In the name of economy/engine wear and noise reduction.....can I put oil additive like wyns or slick 50 in the diesel 115 auto ? Thanks IceBoy

Hi All, Does anyone know where I can get a chrome/stainless plate for the top of bumper? I see them on Aud A6 estates and other flash estate cars...plus it would hide the galstly scratched on the bumper top. Thanks IceBoy

Well lot of discussion ! Thanks for the input....I have calculated the 35 mpg figure manually. I do drive around 75-80 on motorways so maybe I shoud try to stick around 68-70 and see if that makes a difference? Thanks All........

Hi All, Not wanting to start another MPG topic but I need to make sure everything is OK ! I have driven our GAL for 2000 miles now. 60% motorway miles and 10% A/B road and the rest in and around town. She is a 54-Plate 115 auto Zetec. I manage 35 MPG if I drive her with respect......Is this what I should expect....what are others getting?? I was expecting low 40's She has had a full service and a new MAF. Thanks in advance IceBoy

Thanks All, MAF has been replaced with original part. It is more noticeable at higher speeds and over 2400rpm. So I will check the throtle sensor. Thanks once again. IceBoy

Hi All, Had the Gal treated to a full service including MAF and Fuel filter and under full throtle she is hesitant....the power is there but like a very short bursts/wave like. It is much better than it was before the service.....what else could it be? Thanks in advance. PS...getting around 440 miles to the tank. IceBoy

pcd/5x112,offset/40,centre bore/57.1 the front wheels are 7.5j /and the rears are 7.5j Is this the correct fitment and size for 2004 Gal ? Thanks in advance. IceBoy

Do I order a VW Sharon part or tell them it is a Galaxy ?

Been having a few teething problems with the newly acquired Gal. Took the MAF plug out and the car seems to perform better !!!!!!! Anyway would the explain the 30mpg I'm getting as well as the lump flat power curve ? Thanks IceBoy
