Engine cutting out and sudden lack of power. Cured by dealer after several visits. Engine idle erratic sometimes.
Difficult to get into 1st gear when first starting off, easier when warm!
Air conditioning failed, cured by dealer.
Great family car, loads of room when back 2 seats removed . Very thirsty, even gentle cruising gives about 28mpg.
Tyre wear seems to be high.
To this owner, I am having similar problems with my ford galaxy. the dealer is at a lost as to what the problem is. the car lacks in pull, its sluggish. when I first purchased it I had to replace the MAF sensor as it was faulty. the proubles now are similar to that of when the MAF went, but we now know presently the MAF is fine. what could be the problem?
I have a 2.0l Ghia auto, 95/96, 47K. Lost all power of acceleration, all diagnostics showed OK. Solution was collapsed baffles in exhaust which passed gas at low revs, but shut off the gas flow on acceleration. Several hundred pounds of new exhaust cured the problem.
Other experience as other owners: great people/goods carrier, very comfortable, auto box good, weak plastic bits everywhere, poor petrol consumption. I would go diesel if I bought another.
The Ford Galaxy is more or less the same car as the Volkswagon Sharan. (identical motor)
I recently lost my Sharan thanks to a total engine burn-out, the result of an empty oil tank NOT REGISTERED on the dash board read out.
Can anybody shed some light on this?
