andyfishing Posted May 23, 2010 Report Posted May 23, 2010 Hi all, Well my tale of woe continues. I decided to replace the pipe coming off the top fo the engine that goes back into the air pipe (I think it might be the EGR) I discovered that the air filter pipe where goes into the MAF sensor was broken. So repaired that and reconected all the pipework. I had to manhandle the air filter box to get access to everything.Discovered the large air pipe was not tightened onto the back of the engine with the large jubilee clip - sorted that. I did disslodge a strange pipe with wires on coming from an upright pipe - I think it might be for the Cruise Control - attached it to discover that the cruise control pipe is now sucking air through a perished pipe. Its like a mini compressor under the bonnet. Have I connected this pipe wrongly? Anyway put it all together (needed a transfusion after scraping knuckles). It now does not accelerate brilliantly and it is much nosier. I suspect they had disconnected air pipe as the MAF may be malfunctioning. So I have ordered some cleaner but it is much much noiser now. Any ideas? It is like a loud lawnmower. Ford Galaxy (Mark I) 2.8i 4x4 Auto GhiaX. R reg - 1997 - 7 seater I got this car as a swap on e-bay and it has been very neglected. I have driven Land Rovers for the last ten years so I am happy to wield a ratchet and spanner - even a lump hammer! Ideas please - I am determined to get this car running well. Jobs identified on getting the car from an e-bayer who lied and said it was fine:- Front and rear heated screens not working - fixed - new fuseFront drivers door light not working - new light fitted.New Gearbox needed - saving up the Quote
