eddyys Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) HI there, It's time to change engine oil for my Ford Galaxy 1.9 tdi, 2001 I use to change oil for different car's but never changed one for galaxy. To be honest I cannot find where is the 'cork' which I can unscrew so I can take out the old oil, could someone show me a picture or at least explain where is it ? As far I have found the oil filter is next to the battery ? Also the brake pads, what brake pads would you suggest to buy ? from ebay or local garage, as I am looking for the cheapest ?As I don't have ''brake caliper tool' so I can't put the cylinder back, so perhaps the cheapest way would be buy a whole set of brake disc and pads ? I have found something like this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Galaxy-MK2-MPV-Without-Wear-Sensor-Comline-Rear-Brake-Pads-Service-Part-/301098261009?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Cars+Year%3A2001%7CCar+Make%3AFord%7CCars+Type%3A1.9+TDI%7CModel%3AGalaxy&hash=item461adada11 what's your thoughts ? Regards,Ed Edited March 7, 2014 by eddyys Quote

gregers Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 if you mean the sump plug?then its under the car,and the under tray needs to be removed.as for the brakes how on earth are you going to fit new pads n disks without the wind back tool anyway?can be done without but from what i remember reading its ROYAL PIA.do a search in the tech section of the forum.
