andyrs123456789 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 Hi all hope someone can help me out,i own a galaxy 2.8 v6 1998 and for the past few weeks has been cutting out intermitantly will turn over but not start,left for 20/half hour will start fine and be ok for couple of days then do exactly the same.have taken to several garages and have had the crank sensor (non genuine) replaced and the fuel pump relay replaced but to no avail,taken to ford for diagnostics and they could not find a prob but did say that it was giving strange codes but they did not have the answer,would the crank sensor not being ford be the prob? any help on this would be very very greatfull any ideas?????? thanks Andy Quote
sepulchrave Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 I strongly suspect the crank sensor or the wiring to it. The engine is a VW VR6 engine and so is the crank sensor, what was fitted to it? Don't take it to Ford, they don't know what they're doing with them any more. Take the car to an independant VW specialist if you're clueless. Quote

sepulchrave Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 It's just about the only part which will produce the symptoms you describe, I bought mine from a motor factors as well and it was an intermotor part which works just fine, my only concern is that you may have the wrong part, try checking with the factors for the part number for a 1996 VW Sharan VR6 Carat crank sensor and make sure yours is exactly the same part number. And stop calling it a Ford, 'cos it's not! Quote
