Hi all,

 

I need some assistance.

 

I recently brought an 03 Ford Galaxy 1.9 tdi LX. I was told it was 90bhp. Engine number 3d09998.

 

It smoked a lot and I found one of the cam lobes had worn out.

 

I have looked around for a used head as this seems the most cost effective way to go but cannot find a 90 hp head. There are lots of 115's. Are they the same they look the same also could I use a seat/vw head from another vehicle

 

Is my engine what they call a PD engine? I have done some research and my engine has the individual injectors so I am presuming it is but do not know for sure.

 

I have called the local Ford garage and a local specialist and asked the same questions but they gave opposing answers

 

Many thanks

As an '03 model the originally fitted engine would definitely be a PD type.

I'm not sure about the differences in the cylinder head (if any) but there are people with more experience with this on the forum. Perhaps if you post again with a title "Differences between 90 and 115 head?" you might attract some better replies?

Thats because the incorrect oil was used (probably Ford formula E or some other cheap oil)

 

Why not just change the cam - you probably need a new unit injector too (the one on the worn lobe)
