SolarB Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 Hello. Newbee here. I can only find a Haynes manual for MkI Galaxies up to 2000. I've just bought a 2001 MkII 1.9 TDi Ghia (collecting tomorrow). As I intend to service it myself I need a service/repair manual. Does anyone know if:Haynes ever produced a manual for the MKII?Is there an alternative manual?Is there much difference between a MkI and II? I'm not worried about minor trim and headlight changes but are the two versions mechanically similar? The Galaxy is replacing an Audi that Haynes didn't cover and I struggled to find wiring and engine information. Hopefully I won't have the same problem with the Galaxy. Edit: Oops, spelling mistake in the title and used capital I's for numbers....and I can't edit the title. Quote

NopeNot one along the lines of a haynesMainly trim related, the engines and most components were largely the same with the exception of the diesel doh! Find somone nice with a copy of TIS (thats fords own internal system - Technical Information System) which contains assembly removal, installation and wiring diagrams and get a copy :wacko: Oh and welcome! :) Quote
SolarB Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Posted August 4, 2008 Hi Mariz.Mainly trim related, the engines and most components were largely the same with the exception of the diesel doh!Does that mean the Haynes manual doesn't cover my 115bhp TDi engine? :wacko: If it doesn't do you know where else Ford used this engine?Find somone nice with a copy of TIS (thats fords own internal system - Technical Information System) which contains assembly removal, installation and wiring diagrams and get a copy :)Do you have any idea which TIS I'd need or isn't it that simple? I bought two CDs for my Audi and they were both pretty useless. I'm happy to spend the money if I can be sure I'm buying the right data. Thanks for the welcome. I'm sure I'll become a regular poster as I learn about my new toy. Quote
Mirez Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 The only diesel the haynes covers I believe is the older one, none of the PD engines but then I could be mistaken there. There are some similarites but a fair few differences. I have only ever had the complete version of TIS, which covers all models. I need to update as I dont have the latest so I dont have the Mk3 but the Mk2 is covered well - just avoid ebay as there are lots of stories on there about half CD's and data missing :wacko: Quote
