Ford Galaxy 2.0 Tdci Judder Problem

Featured Replies

Hi Hoping someone with experience of Ford Galaxy diesels can help. My car is late 2010, (facelift), 2.0 TDCI with 30k miles. It has been with numerous garages. Has had new Flywheel & clutch kit (Ford Dealer, "who left it in an awful state on return to me"), + realignment of all mountings. I have also tried adding a "FORTE" fuel injection cleaner to the tank.

The problem is - when stone cold there is a judder when letting the clutch out, sometimes it is like a slight skip, sometimes a full violent judder, especially when hasily leaving a junction(not wheel spin) . This gets better as it warms up and eventually goes away. When the engine is warmed up and car is stationary, in neutral, there is a rough tremor only at 1500 RPM.

Any Help would be much appreciated.



When was the fuel filter last replaced?

James the car is regularly serviced, including all filters, the last one fitted 2000miles ago. The car has also been on a computer, which is not detecting any problem.

I am wondering if the filter or bad fuel may be the reason
