Guest noomsybaby Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 Hi, can anyone who has a galaxy 2.0 petrol (95) let me know which way round the pipes that go to the differental pressure sensor should be, I suspect that they have been disconnected and reconnected the wrong way round. Cheers Neil Quote
charles Posted January 15, 2006 Report Posted January 15, 2006 one pipe is a bit thicker than the other one, you should see it. Quote
Guest noomsybaby Posted January 15, 2006 Report Posted January 15, 2006 This came about because I was checking out some fault code that had logged P0402 (EGR GAS FLOW EXCESSIVE and p1406 DOWNSTREAM PIPE PLUGGED OR OFF When checking the sensor I found the thinner pipe was split at the sensor, pushed it back on with a struggle (thought bloomin tight fit this !) but the codes came back. So took sensor off and found that the pipes seemed like they were the wrong way round. I had noticed that one pipe was thicker than the other but it was fitted on the smaller bore pipe and the thin pipe connected to the thicker pipe making me suspect it was fitted the wrong way round. <_< On yours at the other (exhaust) end does the thicker pipe go to the tube nearest the exhaust manifold or the one nearest the gearbox ??? Thanks in advance Neil Quote
Steven.Langdale Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Neil What are you using to read the fault codes? I see you have Ford engine, so it's not VAG-COM. Steven Quote
Guest noomsybaby Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 have downloaded various, but have scanmaster-elm and scantool for windows. Using an elm327 interface from skpang Regards neil Quote
charles Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 that's correctthe thick hose at the thicker pipe of the senser and the thinner hose to thethinner pipe Tube can be clogged . Run engine with hoses off sensor and see exhaust gases come from both hoses. (block manifold hose with finger and see gases are coming from the other hose). than it's ok Quote
Guest noomsybaby Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 already given the pipes a blow all clear, have put the pipes on the correct way round now, but I could do with someone checking which pipe the thick one goes to at the exhaust manifold end in case they were put on the wrong way at that end.

Guest noomsybaby Posted January 22, 2006 Report Posted January 22, 2006 Sorry to bug but can anyone whose got a 2.0 galaxy just stick their head under the bonnet and let me know which pipe the thicker of the two differential pressure sensor pipes go to on the pipes that come off the exhaust manifold please ???

Steven.Langdale Posted January 22, 2006 Report Posted January 22, 2006 Neil Do you know if it's the same on a 2.3? If so I'll have a look at mine to verify for you. steven Quote
Guest noomsybaby Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 not sure if its fitted to yours then I would assume its the same, same principle just different sensor. If you could have a look it would be most appreciated Cheers Neil Quote
Steven.Langdale Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 Just looked The thicker pipe goes to the tube NEAREST the exhaust manifold on mine. Give me a shout if you need anything else. Steven Quote
Guest noomsybaby Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 thanks will check it out tomorrow bit too dark now !!!!! thanks neil Quote
