Hallo,
We own a Galaxy Trend 1.8TDCi 5Gear 100HP MY 2006, actually 91.000km on the counter. We bought it second hand and had the problem that the motor often stalled when driving off. This was the first time we drove a common rail diesel engine of this power. We were used to a VW Sharan so equivalent to a Galaxy MKI with a 2l Diesel engine but with a classical Bosch Diesel pump. This car had a lot of torque but also slightly more HP.
We were told there was a software upgrade available dating from after 2008 or so because a lot of car owners had problem with the torque and stalling. This car had never had the software update and after the update the perforamance is better, but still not at level of the Sharan. Is it a fact that the torque of common rail diesels at RPM below Turbo really being efficient is less than with a Bosch Diesel pump?
Regards,
Danny
