Galaxy Acceleration Problem

[dave_m]

I have a 51 plate 1.9tdi galaxy. I have a problem where i lose all power and the car will not get any faster, if i drop down a gear the revs go up but the car stilll does not get any faster. Turning the ignition off and on again clears the problem for a while. any help would be appreciated as i don't want to get ripped off by ford again!!!!

Where can i get a replacement MAF Sensor, i don't really want to pay ford prices for one, someone suggested GSF but i am not sure which one i would need as there are a few listed. <_<

Try phoning your nearest GSF or Euro Car Parts branch. Euro Car parts sell a lot more parts at the branches than their website would suggest.

 

If you give them the engine type number they should be able to help.I would imagine they are both bound to be cheaper than Ford

[Guest vr6galaxy]

VW may even be cheaper as they do an exchange system on MAF's :D

THIS GUY ON EBAY seems ok, has a load of different MAF's from about

[GSMGuy]

Checkout the price of the maf for a punto GT RRP

Having showed the problem to a mate he seems to think that the turbo is not operating as the car still has its full rev range but no quick accelleration, i can't see it would be a leak in any of the turbo pipes as the problem is intermittent and can be cleared with a flick on/off of the ignition..

 

Could it still be the MAF?

 

If i unplug the MAF whilst i have the problem occurring what result should i get?

 

 

any other thoughts???

 

 

Cheers,
