Thank you!! I have saved £100's by self-servicing my Galaxy with your amazing videos - thank you
You're welcome 😎👍
What a great video, I wondered why other similar videos are only 3 mins yet yours is 18 - it's because you take care with the work and give great advice. Thank you :-)
very clearly explained, even down to sizing of 8mm tube needed for priming pump. Excellent video.
Thanks David! 😎👍
Real world video - I had to smile...
5:26 take [the torx screws] out and don't lose them, then we *simply* lift it
5:34 ...it can sit pretty tight
5:39 ...then move it little by little
5:47 ...help it with a screwdriver
6:11 there we go!
Think we've all been there. Thank you for such an honest video.
Thanks Richard! 😊
Very helpful video thank you. When priming at the end though, I find it easier to use a Sealey syringe pump. Simply attached the clear hose to the return pipe and pull the plunger until you see clear fuel with no bubbles. . Much easier than those bleed tools
Oh yes, they are a bit of struggle :)
Got my filter replaced nice & smooth with this video, thanks mate!
You're welcome 😎👍
Thank you, your video was most helpful. I couldn't get the filter lose and thought I was going to damage te lid. Thanks to your video I could finish the job. Thumbs Up and thanks again!!
You're very welcome 👍
Just completed this on my ford focus. Really appreciate your video!
You're very welcome 👍
Just did this on my Ford Focus, your video was very helpful and professional, thanks
You're very welcome 👍
Brilliant thanks.
Excellent instructions with photos on your website too!
Thanks very much
Glen Collinson Thanks Glen :) Glad if it helps.
Great Video mate, very clear instructions and camera angles are spot on! I found the video very useful...Thanks alot.
You're welcome :)
Thanks :)
Thanks for a brilliant video instruction, will now be able to change the filter on my Kuga which has the same filter system.
Thanks Sean, glad if it helped. 👍
Thanks for all your videos on the Galaxy!!
Thanks :) Perhaps I'll make few more in the future.
WheelsAndMotors I changed the fuel filter following your instructions and am getting fine air bubbles . Everything is tight on and the engine starts just fine what's your opinion? *GALAXY MK3
Thanks for this video, just did it my self. Very easy for do.
Easy peasy :)
Thanks fot this video, really helps.
Just couldn’t get the air out of the system with that hand pump, I think it’s not strong enough to suck fuel up all the way to return pipe. Started engine anyway with no interruptions.
Yeah, it does get really hard at the end, but I don't think you need it to go all the way, just as long as diesel shows up on return.
Отличная инструкция! Жаль, что не нашёл её раньше, не мог понять как крышка фильтра снимается- тянул вверх, боялся сломать. Откручивал корпус, оказалось плотное кольцо.
Пожалуйста 😎👍
Тянуть тоже надо аккуратно, всё-таки плвстик. Лучше подковырнуть.
@@wawayltd Да, я с разных сторон поддевал по- немногу. Ничего не сломал и это главное.
Good video and detailed info , thanks for taking time to do it.
You're welcome 👍
Fantastic video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for taking yout time !!!!!!!!
just bought a ford galaxy swear its the same one you work on ,makes it so much easier by your videos cant wait to do the jobs you have done on it ,thanks .
Question why do some mechanics use power tools and then normal ratchets spanners to take off or on with nuts ect
Thanks Loll, power tools mostly to speed up the process, because time = money.
Great job. Keep up the good work.
Thank you :) I'll do my best
Thank you very much for a precise explanation
You're welcome 👍
Really helpful. Thank you for taking the time to do this video :)
Video on how to clean the egr would be awesome 😎
Thanks :) At some point in the future..
Good video, you shouldn't have to bleed the fuel line after fitting the filter if you're careful though, have a look at Alan Howetts video for the MK4 Mondeo
Thanks, I will check that 👍
Great job im watching your videos always Spatially your vw sharan
Thank you Shams 👍
Excellent work
Thanks Joe :)
Brilliant video! Exactly what I needed. Many thanks 🙏🏻
Thanks Dan 😊👍
@@wawayltd hi hope you can help I have this same car 2007 ford galaxy and the car won't start straight away in the morning have to use easy start I changed the glow plugs same problem car runs very nice when it starts
Is it turning when you try to start?
@@wawayltd yes it turns and occasionally will start after r 5 -10 minutes but battery dies so to prevent that I use easy start
@@wawayltd also changed relay fuse
Thank you very much!
Great video, many thanks, I have 2 Smax's, one has 203000 miles, it's been independently serviced every 12500 miles but I don't see any fuel filters mentioned on the invoices, I'm assuming they must have changed it otherwise it wouldn't run. It has original engine, turbo, injectors, clutch, DMF, pdf
It definitely wouldn't make 200K on one fuel filter - it gets clogged up eventually.
Top man! Brilliant video thank you!
You're very welcome Matt 👍
Glad if it helps.
Excellent video. Thank you very much.
You're welcome :) Glad if it helps. I'll make few more about this car.
I have ordered the tool for the oil filter. You make it look so easy using this simple tool.
I have a Ford Galaxy 2011 Titanium X. It would be great if you can do a video on common faults on this vehicle and how to resolve them for FG owners to save huge mechanic costs.
If I can suggest one more video to your list, is rock chip and scratch correction with a DA polishing machine.
Thank you very much for the helpful and detailed video
I have 2.0 tdci Kuga and having hard start at mornings.
I used hand pump to bleed air out. But nothing changed. I am searching a solution. If you could advice anything I would be more than happy.
I met one guy recently, who used to start diesel car same as petrol without waiting for glow plug sign to go off... Just a thought ;) Any other reasons could be different. What do you mean by hard start? Is it like a bad battery or just rough engine work while it's cold?
Excellent video, thank you :-)
You're welcome 😊
thanks ive been looking for how to do this job for ages i have a 13 plate mondeo and cant find anything to help. but this is the same engine set up as the mondy maybe if you put mondeo in the title you will help lot of us mondeo fans,, great video thanks.
Thanks Garry :) Just changed the title.
Totally agree with Garry, Im exactly the same - 13 plate Mondeo and the info (and Haynes manual!!) are rubbish on the details. Awesome video, thanks for creating it WheelsAndMotors - happy to subscribe.
Garry - Im just thinking now after reading your msg, but maybe you are the guy that can help me... Ive been trying to find info about proper trolley jack points on my 13 Mondeo. I just use the scissor jack location with the hockey puck hack, but its far from ideal especially when then trying to stick axle stands under it. Any divine inspiration fella?
Thank you so much!
You're welcome 👍
Thanks for the video, was a great help! I changed the filter no problem but couldn't bleed the system . I definitely have air in system as can see it but when I attach siphon it cannot draw enough fuel to clear it. I also tried syringe type. Any ideas? Car starts fine.
If the car starts and runs fine, I wouldn't worry about it - air will clear eventually.
Great job thank you
You're welcome 😊
Just another thing on the top of the plastic housing there is a plastic Philips head access hole for topping up too
Wow! Didn't know that.. Next time I'll do it, will have a look. Thank You! :)
thank you so much!!!
You're very welcome 👍
Good Thanks
Thanks for that!
You're welcome 👍
Thanks for this video.
What is the tightening torque of the four cover screws?
Thanks, sorry I don't know Ford tightening torques.. Just went by feel.
Thank you for this video! Do you know what is causing that chirping noise when you started the engine? thx!
Probably there were still some air gaps..
I am referring to the chirping that doesn't stop. I have the same noise on my mondeo. Someone said it is the aux chain and it should be replace. I was trying to confirm with you. Thx!
Sorry, took me time to reply. Yes it could be something along the aux belt. But it needs to be seen, I couldn't diagnose your car via RUclips comments :) Not even talking that I'm not qualified mechanic - just enthusiast.
Good information
Thanks 😊
Good video.
Thanks 😊
I thought the Smax engine was identical to the Mondeo 2l tdci but when the SMax reached the cam belt change interval the garage said they needed to get a different tool for the cam, the one they used for the Mondeo wouldn't fit. I don't know what the tool is that they were referring to but he said the SMax has the Peugeot engine.
Yeah, they also share engine with volvo. I haven't done cambelt on this car yet, need to get proper instructions and tools, so can't help you at the moment :(
Hy..puts a video with the oil change to the gearbox!!
👍👍👍
There are few videos here on RUclips about oil and filter change to PowerShift gearbox, so I didn't see the point of adding another one. I might make a video next time I change oil for him, but I'm not sure when.
The video is very good. May I ask the oil filter cover screw?lb
Thanks! I bought it on eBay.
Do you have any video for changing other filters such as when you do the whole service? Cabin filter, water pump, oil filter etc...?
I have oil and oil filter, cabin filter, air filter.. This car has PowerShift automatic gearbox, we change oil and oil filter for gearbox, but I haven't done video yet. Water pump is driven by cambelt, so it's a cambelt job - I don't have it for this car yet.
Do I need to prime/bleed the system if I leave the old fuel in the filter housing and don't syphon it off? Just take the old filter out, put the new one in and reassemble?
Old filter will take significant amount of fuel + leaks while doing it. It's not that difficult to prime it this way..
We had the engine malfunction warning come up yesterday and apparently a dirty fuel filter can be the cause. Any idea if changing it might clear the error and stop the car going into limp mode?
When did you change fuel filter? If it was long time/miles, it's always good idea to refresh it, they don't cost that long. As for engine management light, you need to scan it to see what code it's giving you. I have little bluetooth scanner from eBay, it's not expensive and it helps to give you idea what's going on with your car before you start spending money for garages. Here's my video about it:
ruclips.net/video/oUn5u5g6C0A/видео.html
Hi, I am currently have ford smax and it is on its last legs so trying to decide between sharan and galaxy. May I have your opinion as you owned both cars. THANK YOU!
That Galaxy is not mine, it's my friends. However I still have an opinion.
Personally I prefer Sharan for few reasons:
1. VW is better built and designed. Higher quality and mechanically better to work on. That's not just me - few mechanics I know said that.
2. There's lots of workshop manuals, lots of technical info widely available for VW (you can buy Elsawin on eBay). There are few things that I can't do for my friends Galaxy, because I don't have info how to.
3. With all 7 seats up Sharan's boot (trunk) is bigger, despite both of them don't have spare wheel. However! - New Galaxy, after 2015 comes with a spare wheel, but I don't know much about that model.
4. If you buying it as a taxi or if you have kids - I think that sliding doors are safer.
Advantage of Galaxy - normally it's cheaper to buy.
There's something I must say about both of them - whichever you choose, don't take automatic gearbox, whether that's VW DSG or Ford PoweShift, they are temperamental, require good service every 30.000 miles with expensive oil. Manual gearbox is reliable as hammer and requires no maintenance apart for clutch once in a while, and if it's not a taxi, probably once in a lifetime.
I have a review about Sharan on my channel.
All of that is my personal opinion, and if you'll buy Sharan that gives you trouble - please don't blame me :)
Many thanks for your quick answer, that's exactly what I was looking for. All the best !
When do you use the bleed screw then? Do you need it ?
Is there a bleed screw for this filter?
What happens if you dont get all the air bubbles out. I did this job a few weeks ago but I think theres still air bubble in the line for some reason. Engine making a funny rumbling noise but not always. After revving up I see a big air bubble pass through. I would have thought they would have resolved themselves over time unless I have a leak somewhere?
Normally they go away eventually.
thanks a lot for the vid, more over, may I know the brand and the part number of the filter?
Don't remember brand (my friend bought it himself), neither I know the part number, don't normally get them for filters. Just get/call into any car parts shop and ask for filter - they will give few choices of different brands that will fit your car.
thanks, I think it won't be a problem to find the filter and I will try to do the replacement on my focus mk3 2.0 tdci soon!
two more things, is the torque of the bolts 8 Nm? and the recommended interval of changing the filter? thanks in advance
I think they are 8, but I couldn't find confirmed info, just general internet searches (don't think it's that big deal). Interval depends on quality of diesel fuel. In UK we have European standard EN 590, so apparently filter can last up to 60.000 miles. What I normally do - change it every second oil change.

In order to replace the diesel pump in the fuel tank, do I need to lower the fuel tank to the ground? For Ford S-Max
I tried to have a look in some manual, but it's not that good. I suspect that fuel pump could be sitting not inside tank, but next to it. The car in the video is not mine, so I can't have a look. Sorry I can't help much..
more galaxy videos please (lidle do a an oil diesel vacuum pump for 12.99)
I'll try eventually. Currently stuck with something, so probably won't make any new videos till summer.
Great video thank You...Having a problem with the wifes car [08 plate] same model...It has a problem starting now and again hot or cold...if you stop it running just by turning off the ignition...it doesn't like to start first time,,how ever,if you rev it and whilst revving turn the ignition off..it mainly starts first time...thought about a vacuum pipe that could be split but don't think it has any..Don`t think the filter`s new and has got 132000 miles on the clock..if not the fuel filter...any ideas please...Thanks all...Charlie.
Battery? Is it turning good while trying to start?
Yes mate...new battery etc ...It turns over but the engine doesn`t kick in/start...try it a few times [could be up to ten times] then it starts and runs A OK and will run all day until We stop it...Thought at first it might be the remote/battery on the key until we used the spare set...same thing...its just as if its short of fuel with none to start it as if it needs to prime itself...hope that helps...
Maybe faulty fuel pump (diesels have 2), or maybe some trapped air in the fuel system... The air probably would get through by now.. Maybe scan it with some diagnostic tool?
... OR! Clogged up fuel filter. If you're not sure about filters - change them first.
Putting on a fresh filter this weekend...will let You know the out come...Cheers Dude.
I see pipe is emty of fuil what to do 😂?? Thanks
Hi I did the service of my galaxy but now the its starts and dies again. Mostly when the engine is cold in the morning. Can you plz help me with it.thx
I have no idea why it stops after starting, sorry, probably needs to be seen by mechanic.
I just chened disealfilter and now the enginge do Not start do you know why?? Thanks alot😊
Because filter has a lot of air inside. It needs to be primed.
Ok❤
You have to get rid off air in the system
After how many miles should change this filter
It depends on fuel quality. I think with European standard diesel they can last up to 60.000 miles, but I replace it every 20.000.
I didnt have the pump but if you suck the diesel out of the pipe as hard as you can you can do it , horrible but can do it.
It was pretty hard actually.
Hi Can You tell the name of the pump You used and size ?? Where Can i buy..? Thanks
I don't know the name, sorry. I've seen it in Halfords. I'm pretty sure they sell it on eBay or Amazon.
8 mm inside diameter of the hose ?
Yes, inside.

Hi mate,
I wonder if anyone having problem with adblue heater, I read on the web it is a common problem with VW sharan??? My mechanics said it will cost an eye watering £500 to replace 😥😥
Yes - I have the same problem! And I had it for a while now - few months. Do you get fault code P202A? I was planning to fix it by myself, but couldn't find time for that. Especially when this problem doesn't seem to be affecting anything. When I work, I clear the error with Bluetooth reader and it doesn't come back while engine is running :) AdBlue tank is accessible by removing rear bumper. Manual says you have to empty it before removing, because it may be holding up to 17 litres of adblue. Heater element apparently is like a cup that sits on a top of adblue tank. It shouldn't be that difficult. Parts might cost about 200-300 pounds though. I'm gonna wait a little bit, because I have an appointment on 30th of June with VW dealership regarding that emissions scandal - they are going to remap my ecu. And, because that is also related to AdBlue some how, I'm gonna wait to see what they say first.
WheelsAndMotors I am having P202B, I have read VW in united states has extended the warranty for adblue heater because this is a common problem with VW, the new warranty is 120000 miles or 10 years, I have talked to VW UK and they don't have any information about this
Haider Zainy I'll see what they say on 30th and let you know. If it comes to fixing myself. I'll make a video.
WheelsAndMotors I talked to local VW dealer to book emission software update and they said as long as engine management is on they can not apply the update as it might cause further problem

Кто нибудь в курсе что это за пробка на крышке стаканчика фильтра? чёрная такая под звёздочку отвёртку?
Can't we just, turn on the egnition, let it like that for like a minute to let the fuel pump to remove the air bubbles from fuel filter housing and fuel lines to the gas tank?
Unfortunately, we can't. This used to work on older diesel cars, but after about 2009 pump activates only for few seconds. In my VW I use software to activate fuel pump. This Ford is a hassle.

These have an electric fuel pump no need to bleed it
How do you activate that pump? In previous models, you just put ignition on and it works. With newer models it doesn't work. Only software.
Is your model 2014
Yes it was. That car is gone now.
