gregers

thanx,im assuming if this is the prob then the alt needs to come off the car??

thanx chaps,just for info the pulley and tensioner was changed only a few months back with a new belt aswell. strange this seems to me a load drain,each time its happened it has been under the most load, i:e booster heater on/fans running. then when the drivers electric window was pressed the warning came up. greg

the light comes up every now and then,have searched the forum, the consensus seems to be either the pulley or the fuse board under the bonnet? well with my problem it appears that the wires under bonnet seem fine. and ive replaced the pulley a few months back. do you wise peeps think its time for a new battery?? or the alternator wanting to give up. i havnt yet tested the volts output on the battery yet. or is it something more sinister?? as always cheers for any info gregers

cheers buddy,i will give it a go.

ah ha..... so if im looking at this right ;) if i uninstall the program.reinstall it and follow your instructions it might work???? or am i going to have to reformat my hard drive to make sure all traces of vag are removed???? regards simply's :huh: :huh:

welcome to the forum jingars, sorry cant help you with your problem,but have deleted your other post :huh:.

on my old n reg galaxy everything was fitted apart from a bulb.

kev think your goner have to talk me through this RATHER SLOWLY :wacko: in its own directory???? now how the hell do you do that?????

yes kev have spent an age trying different baud rates etc,changing port settings and generally following the instructions dotted around this site,and it still not working.

you dont,you need to unscrew them so the glass slides up.

well im joining this club aswell.aaarrrgggghhhhhhh been trying for ages to get it to work,keep getting on the vag-com obd-11 compatibility test test status:test complete result: incorrect synch byte:$b5 please try again.

just seen it on the news and they were saying it has BIGGER BROTHER RIGHT NEAR BY,and when/if that GOES UP its going to be much worse then it is at the moment

well im in...................as my info says :rolleyes:

not the clutch on alternator squeaking? mmmm,might be??? when mine went it sounded like a cat was being throttled.

clutching at straws. have you plugged the lead into the port of car,turned engine on,turn comp on then plug lead into comp? does xp pick it up?

hi bubbie welcome to the forum and mad house. as you have found a lot of problems have already been discovered and with the help of others have posted there results in fixing things,which helps us all ;)

its something you can check yourself,do a search. in fact only a few days ago someone asked about this. undo bonnet (engine off)and grab hold of the front of the engine if it rocks easily then it might be the restrictor/bolt problem.

have you tried turning the ignition on?

bear in mind the really decent weather hasnt come yet,iirc aircon will not work below a certain temperature?sure it might even be on this thread somewhere?

have you read this 1??? http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...amp;#entry84798

did you buy from a dealer?if so how long was/is the warranty?

Either way my limp home mode seems to be less frequent now and I gave the old girl a good thrashing earlier when I went to collect my alt pulley & aux belt. WOT YOU DONE A JOHN CLEESE???;)

sammie,have you just bought the car?? if so did you buy from a dealer???
