Can any one help?
I have a 2001 ford galaxy 1.9TD (115ps) with an expired engine (little end I think) the engine code is AUY. I have found for sale a golf 1.9TD engine which visualy looks the same but the engine code is ATD does any one know the difference? will it fit with just changing the ancillarys?
Thanks in advance

My 55 reg 1.4tdi looses power when accelerating t admittedly highish speed in fifth overtaking on motorways.It is something to do with turbo as engine keeps running but with embarrassing and dangerous lack of oomph. But switch off ignition briefly and then turn on again and everything picks up -- usually. Skoda agent ran it on computer for an hour and says there is nothing wrong .......................

Hi Ben,
Great to have the feedback on this. I wish everyone would do the same.

My other half's parents are looking to downsize from their vectra auto to something smaller. They have about 6k + their vectra to spend. They were thinking something like the nissan micra auto in diesel but I am not sure whether that is the best thing. They were thinking of switching from petrol to diesel but as they do less than 15k a year then I can't see the point and a switch at their years might be more prone to misfueling than one done when younger.
Whatever they buy needs to be cheap to run, with a decent auto, reasonably safe and reliable. Any ideas on what vehicle to suggest? I was thinking the cmax or a jazz. Tax band would probably need to be C or below.

>> My mother-in-law has a Jazz auto also a good car but I felt the Note...
Interesting - I've been thinking about replacing our Jazz and now manufacture has moved to China I really don't like the idea of buying a Chinese made car - it's almost unavoidable on some products and they get enough from us. I really feel that, all things being equal, it would be good to support cars like Note which is at least built in the UK.
Note sure about the 1.6 engine though - we had a 1.6 Clio before the Jazz and even 5 yrs ago dealers were not that interested in taking it in p/x.
does any one know how to reset the service lights,as it has gone into limp mode,because service is due ,been serviced but dont know how to reset,other than take to dealer.any one help .

Hi All
Firstly I apologise if this has been asked before but I'm new on here and looking back through the archives I can't seem to find an answer.
Is it ok to use commercially bought bio diesel in a common rail turbo diesel engine?
Thanks in advance

Both the Honda and the Skoda say no to 100% bio diesel and had warning stcikers in the filler cap. Both ran happily on French Diesel which includes a small percentage.
If there is nothing in the book, or the filler cap check with the manufacturer.
A mistake will be expensive.
A spring carnival of resistance to airport expansion at Heathrow
The following is a sample of web info
"31st May 2008 12:00pm to 06:00pm We can stop the runway! We will stop the runway!
Stop the third runway at Heathrow! Stop Heathrow expansion! Stop the runaway growth in aviation! Tell the government to get real on climate change and prevent a climate catastrophe! "
"Start time 12.00 noon. Assembly point Hatton Cross (Picadilly Line tube station). There will be a a carnival-style march to a festival-style event at Sipson (the village which will be destroyed if the 3rd runway goes ahead). This will include the creation the world's biggest "NO" - spelt out in human bodies. "

So anyone in the Heathrow area beware of probable delays.
If you need some local info re alternate routings ask soon. Read more

my P reg escort 1.8td van is running really bad an i need help!!!
hard to start in the mornning.
very rough idle when cold. (almost like it's missing)
rough idle when hot.
white-ish smoke at idle.
pulling away very sluggish then all of a sudden it springs into life and off we go....?
very little to none smoke when driving along
drives quite nice at speed but not sure if 80mph should be max speed for a turbo
only just got the van and what i have been told is that a few things have been done recently.(i have receipts for parts changed...!)
new injectors
new timing belt and tensioner.
new glow plugs
new oil
new oil filter
new air filter
i have been told that i should suspect two things
1. EGR valve
2. air flow meter.
now what......?

If it helps, the 115 ps 1.9 Tdi engine in the Golf of that year is code AJM. I am fairly sure this will fit. (Both your Galxy engine and the Golf are PD injector engines).
