Title: Galaxy fault codes
Post by: Paddy Flannery on 03 February 2013, 19:40:47

My mate is having trouble today with his Galaxy going into limp mode. I've Googled but can't find a way to read codes on a Galaxy without professional help.

Does anyone on here know if you can do a Pedal Trick type trick on a Galaxy please ?

Thanks for reading.

The answer is going to be a no I should think, but just out of curiosity, what year is it?  Petrol or Derv?

Forscan or better still if it's the Galaxy built in conjunction with Vw/Seat then the excellent VCDS. I have fully legal copies of both

It's a 2008 Edge Diesel.

Local garages say they can't read the codes as Ford haven't released the codes for post 2007 cars.

My old Omega is much simpler !

Well you should be able to read that with VCDS

Googled it. I've told him he'll have to try specialist car tuners etc and not just bend over for Ford.

Thanks all.
