1999 ford galaxy 2.3 petrol altenater problem?
I accelerated of from a set of traffic lights today to be greeted with a rattle from the water pump/alternator side of the engine just wondering if anyone could shed some light on this the belt is still there and under tension. It gets worse as you rev the engine
Sounds like a water pump to me.
- White smoke coming from exhaust, Ford Zetec 1999 petrol? I have no other problems with the car, it has 1/2 tank petrol, and oil. At first I thought it may be the cold but, it happens too often for that.
- Which car is the overall to keep for a couple of yrs? 1999 Nissan maxima, 1999 Altima, 2006 ford Taurus or 2002 buick lesabre? All of them have low mileage as the Taurus have 69000 and the maxima have the highest of 123000. They all under 1100 bucks.
- I have a ford 2001 ford Galaxy 2.3 petrol needing Electric Windows will only work from the the drivers side. I checked the wiring within the doors and repaired any broken wires but still nothing. The drivers switch has a child lock for the window but this doesn't make a difference if on or off. Is the anything els I can check? Could it be the drivers switch at fault? Looking for some simple tests I can check before I put money in to this. Cheers Paul
- How to undo bolts on Ford Galaxy 2003 Front & Rear brake caliper to renew disc's and pads? I need to renew the disc's and pads at the front and rear of Ford Galaxy 2003. I have the correct sockets and a large extension bar, but they will not budge (front or rear). I have tried WD40, thinking of trying a little heat, but its a bit near to the brake hoses. All suggestions gratefully received. I have a full workshop manual on this car issued by Ford which just says that they are tightened to 190Nm. The front bolts are huge 27mm and the rear bolts are 18mm.
