In addition to the coupling bars, the air conditioning system is probably a major problem of the Galaxy (Sharan and Alhambra as well). I was also hit this summer, especially in the heat wave no air conditioning. after the ABS had failed in early July (costs around € 1170 of which € 700 culant), at this date the air conditioning system was checked and filled, then it fell out at the end of July completely (compressor fixed) costs again around € 130€ Ford takes over again on Kulanz 650 almost 50%. Since this is a bit A lot appeared car is EZ 27.08.2001 and bought from me as a remarketing vehicle from Ford, so that the warranty went only until 10.06.2003, I looked in various forums: Result: coupling rods defective, air conditioners defective, ABS sensors defective. Now you can only hope that the coupling rods soon give up their mind, then there is at least something on culant, the other defects I had already. After 5 Ford (1 Escort, 2 Sierra and 2 Mondeo all completely problem-free until partially se 250000KM now the first VW and only problems) I hang the posts from other forums below on it, maybe it helps with the question about Kulanz further. Be an autobild mail this evening, maybe they have an interest in a story. Greeting valenca
