Taking the under tray off is only a few screws. If you needed a mechanic to do that for you, you should hang up your tools in shame!

Re: ford galaxy
i had a look before & couldnt see anything, while he serviced the car we discussed it & it seemed like a good idea. idealy id have liked him to do a pressure test but as we are off friday he didnt want to break anything as its only a very slight leak???
Re: ford galaxy
we did around 2500 km & car used a little coolant (max to min) but i couldnt see anything as everything was wet through. since we got back there is a puddle under the engine, ive had a look & it looks like i need a new water pump....
Re: ford galaxy
At least you have narrowed it down. Are you OK doing the timing belt yourself or are you going to have to get a garage to do it for you?

Re: ford galaxy
Is the pump driven by the cam belt on this? If so, I'd get that done PDQ, because if the water pump lets go in a big way it'll take the belt with it, and that leads to a lot of paperwork as you know.....rich. wrote:... & it looks like i need a new water pump....
By the same token if changing the pump you should really do the belt and tensioner at the same time too of course.
That's if it's driven by the belt, if it isn't then this post is entirely without use, relevance or meaning.
Cheers!
Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.
Re: ford galaxy
its the belt driven one, it was only changed 18 months ago!
Re: ford galaxy
Was it changed for a real ford (or Peugeot) one or one of the cheapos that are floating about on ebay? I haven't had the greatest of luck with cheap parts on that engine :S

Sorry, didn't remember you had a 2004. 2005 is the change over year which gives you the Ford Duratorq engine (Ford / Citroen / Peugeot lump http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Duratorq_engine)
