a18nkd Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 Hi all my galaxy seems to be a bit rough when I start it up cold now and again it seems to misfire it also does this when the accelerator is lighltly pressed i.e when tootling along at 30mph in 5th gear this sometimes causes it to judder badly until you put your foot flat down on the pedal or take it off completely then it settles down it seems to do it more when cold but has done the same with engine at norm temp had the vag on and no codes recorded, no air in clear pipe, fuel from the same petrol station as usual/normal colour smoke out back (i.e black) could it be either the injectors if so how can I test them or the glow plugs again how do I test them thanks any ideas would be very helpful thanks Quote
BrianH Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 if its started and running (warmed up after a couple of minutes should be enough) then its unlikly to be the glow plugs. (you mentioning it does it at normal temp as well). Its not very kind on the engine to try and acclerate from 30 in 5th gear though! Assuming its diesel (you mention glow plugs) it could be worth doing an italian tune up, particually if its been driven gently the majority of the time. Quote
csj Posted October 24, 2014 Report Posted October 24, 2014 mine did similar had a intermittent misfire ,judder.. turned out to be the wiring loom for the injectors . Quote
