“Ford Galaxy 1.9tdi 2001 Mk2 115bhp”

★★★★☆

written by nexsuperne on 21/04/2013

Bought this on a whim, as it already had the 18" wheels and rubber band tyres on it. I had a mudplugging Land Rover Discovery which killed yet another gearbox, so was fed up with sitting on cold concrete fixing the poxy thing. So I bought something more 'sensible'. The Galaxy had 125,000 miles with the standard bits done (timing belt, clutch, lower wishbones, bearings and windscreen wiper motor assembly). Economy is incredible for nearly a 2 ton car, If I keep it as 60mph, it returns between 52-58mpg! even at 70ish it still does 50mpg. Throw the seats out of the middle and the back and I then have a decent sized van that I can use in the city without the costs of the Low Emmission Zone. when I got it, the glove box needed putting back together, the drivers door lock didn't work from the outside, the remote locking didn't work and there was a dent in the boot. All I did was went to VW (not Ford!) and got the 'paddle' for door handle for £3 and fixed that. There's a torx head screw in the end of the door that lets you take the whole handle out, so no need to remove door cards. I Put new batteries in the remote and re-synced the remote locking, put on another tailgate of identical colour(£50) and finally put the glove box back in. So I now have a tidy motor which is a van in the week and can take me, the wife, her mum and dad, our 2 kids, the dog and a 2 ton braked trailer, all out on the weekend. All for £1150! :D

“I bought my ford galaxy in December, nothing but...”

★★★☆☆

written by on 09/04/2011

I bought my ford galaxy in December, nothing but problems with it, it kept going into limp home mode, when took to the garage one said blocked cat or head gasket, then another said water pump, turbo sticking and then could possibly lead to head gasket. expensive to repair...
i loved it as plenty of space and nice to drive when working, and really good on diesel, but i wouldnt say it was a reliable car, and really in 2 minds whether to get rid, i love everything about the looks of it, size etc but not sure at all on reliability. also ive noticed that they arent very well made, flimsy materials easy to break etc...

Mass Air Flow Sensor will cause all these problems, and are well known for it. You may also have a leaking vacuum pipe.

“Bought car from Ford main dealer in Newport Wales...”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 31/01/2011

Bought car from Ford main dealer in Newport Wales second hand with full service history. Interior slight scratches but ok. Paid market price for what we thought was a good 4 year old car ( in 2008). First MOT cost £800, rear brakes needed full replacement and list of other faults. Second MOT front brakes, driver door lock (just needed strip down and clean)and rear exhaust but took it to ATS Euromaster who did a very good job. Ford wanted £700 but cost £300 at ATS. Ford hourly labour rate is £70 or higher. Recent MOT Jan 2011 Ford rang 2 days before MOT and service date to say cam belt needed to be done at 60k as as we had extended warranty with dealer we had to have it done £412 (£298 labour £114 parts). Now have drive shaft "play" / worn on 62500 miles ££££ Dealer has made silly mistakes like over filling oil, forgetting to reset service clock, metal tyre values leaked 20 psi per day and I diagnosed fault hearing the leak, 1 set of front tyres in 12 months!
Warranty company classes drive shaft failure as "wear and tear".
AVOID THIS CAR AND THIS DEALER AS THEY JUST DONT CARE
Going to complain and possible legal action as drive shaft failure seems to be known fault at 60k. If the car was 3 year old Ford would repair under warranty?
Air con fault (Ford wanted £1000) was due to air con radiator failing, known fault as water gathers in top crimped flange in top of radiator and corrosion eats into radiator releasing gas. Local aircon mobile engineer (AUTOCOOL) fitted radiator without removing front of car saving loads of £. Cost around £400.

“Although I love the interior space, my Galaxy is...”

★★★☆☆

written by LewInMadrid on 10/02/2010

Although I love the interior space, my Galaxy is having problems with going into limp-home mode. It started when the car was about 9 months old and after lots of visits to the garage, they changed the turbo and all was fine till a few days ago when the dreaded engine failure message has started to appear again. The car has only done about 8,000 miles, most of it start-stop city driving.

“Good points - loads of room inside the galaxy for all...”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 17/01/2010

Good points - loads of room inside the galaxy for all passengers and driver. The seats can be taken out thus leaving a van like space. Nice and comfortable to drive.

Bad points - The interior of the galaxy is very flimsy and the speaking grilles have broken. Lets in water resulting in the driver's side footwell flooded with water. Windows then get steamed up and vision is very poor. Dangerous situation!

“A good sized family car let down by woeful reliability...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by pc01 on 13/05/2009

A good sized family car let down by woeful reliability and build quality. A true seven seater that can accomodate three child seats across the second row. Curtain air bags lend a sense of safety.
Fuel efficiency is its one cost saving feature. Engine performs well (when it works). Our Ford Galaxy was bought with reasonably high mileage (80k in four years) but with a full service history. In the 11 months I have owned this vehicle:

The air con has had a faulty sensor and compressor ( very expensive).
The clutch master cylinder failed
The clutch slave cylinder failed
I also replaced the clutch (as recommended by the garage)
The parking sensors occasionaly stay on even when no obstacles are nearby
The car now shakes violently if I try to go above 45 mph (which sounds like it could be the dual mass flywheel).
Various bits of trim have to be pushed back into place, and interior has a very flimsy feel to it (plastic speaker grilles crack very easily - have had to re-attach window handles twice). I am somewhat concerned that in 2004 two of the world's biggest car manufacturers cannot make a car in which the window handles don't fall off. This is not exactly hi-tech stuff.

The car is also very expensive to run. Four new tryes will set you back £600

written by Whip on 18/02/2009

I love my galaxy 1.9 zetec I've had it 6 years with no major problems. It doubles up as a van and I'm in great demand for moving things. I've had one on-going problem that no one seems to be ablet to sort. The oil light stays on. Ive sort of learnt to live with it but I would love to know what it is and sort it.

I bought a Ford Galaxy Zetec tdi, auto, 115bhp on a Y plate. I found out the auto gearbox is gone. I went to the dealer and told me it would cost me about £3400. Can't find any second hand.

★★★★☆

written by DAVIEBLA on 23/07/2007

From day one, nothing but problems with this car. When you start car you had no power and car started shaking took back to dealer and they said it was a problem with master flywheel they fit new one still same problem so they fit a special one from Germany as well as new clutch at only 400 miles on clock get car back drove it for 6 miles same problem again now they say it needs a new gearbox and drive shaft to solve problem that was 7 weeks ago and still waiting for these parts to come in. They also offered me as a token of goodwill to exchange my car for a like for like basic so I agree to this then cause I have extras on my car they tell me they don't have one. I would not trust Ford again or buy from them if thats the way they treat customers.

★★★★☆

written by edwinuk on 11/07/2006

The Ford Galaxy is very practical for every day use, I drive around city but have continuous problem with engine and no one seems to know exactly the reason. It's just totally no power, I have driven like this for a year now, some say one injector is not working some say turbo, if you have an idea please help me I could pay for check up to.
So when I restart the car I have to reach around 30mph and 2500rp then it starts go work better but still twice less power than should be. Recently its started to vibrate a lot so I changed dual mass fly wheel it was totally gone, and at the same time damaged starter and clutch.
Flywheel £400
Cloth £310
Starter £120 exc.
labour £350
Prices approximate as I am trying to forget it all.... :(
From time to time the (spiral) indicator goes on and off blinking...!?

I have a 1.9TDi 115 BHP Ford Galaxy, and I had exactly the same problem with mine, and everyone was saying it was the turbo not working. Ford tested it and could not diagnose a problem. After speaking to several people they all came back with the same answer, and that was the air flow meter (air mass meter). I put a new one on the other day, and I now have full power. The part only cost £80, including VAT, and I fitted it myself.
<br/>
<br/>Hope this helps

Written on: 04/09/2006

I had the same problems with my TDi. In the end I found out that the fuel line filter was dirty, so the engine management system puts you into limp home mode. You need to have the in line filter replaced, then have the management unit turn back onto full drive. It drives as if you have no power, only just enough to get you about. The total cost was around £100. I hope this helps you.

“My Ford Galaxy is very well used as I use it for work....”

★★☆☆☆

written by henry muirhead on 13/04/2006

My Ford Galaxy is very well used as I use it for work. I am averaging about 60k miles a year. I have recently been having problems with my gearbox but only when I am climbing a hill. It doesn't have to be a steep hill just a small incline. I have had it put on 4 (yes 4) diagnostic computers at 4 different garages and there is no fault found. I have contacted Ford Head Office and hopefully they are going to get to the bottom of the problem. I will let you know at a later date

written by nigelwalker on 13/03/2006

I have experience tyre wear in my Ford Galaxy and can not identify the cause. Rear tyres (Dunlop - so good brand) last 10k miles and are worn to the metal on the inside edge approximately 2-3 inches across the tyre. Both rears the same - but can only assume something serious is wrong, any ideas welcome.
