Before putting Galaxy 2 to use I wanted to replace the radiator which I thought had a leak. I got one ordered and set about swapping it. The swap was a little tricky for space but it all went together after a bit of wiggling. But on startup water flowed out. I thought from both inlet and outlet but on inspection it seemed just the top. The hose joint felt very loose, I contacted the seller but they were not helpful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I ordered replacement seals, these turned up but were wrong! I ordered new hose tails, then went to the garage in a last ditch attempt to find a seal I knew I had purchased for the old galaxy. Despite looking twice before I was not expecting any luck. I found it within 30 seconds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The seal was fitted and no water leaked!!!! Topped it up and after 25 miles the water light came on again. topped it up and we are no a whisker off 200 miles with no leak…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The car no longer stinks of dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drives quite nicely really, the air conditioning even works!…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
~\u00a3700 spent including costing parts swapped from the old one, and the number plate transfer, and parts not used!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tax is \u00a380 less and fuel should be a saving too..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am more confident in these VW PD engines, They don’t use High Pressure fuel pumps and lines like the TDDI\/TDCI engines, rather they have a CAM shaft that sits over the injector and operates the high squirt injector mechanically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
