Ford Galaxy is a versatile minivan produced since 1995. Ford is positioning the Galaxy as a seven-seat, high-capacity vehicle. It is worth noting that the Galaxy is the flagship minivan, on the basis of which another minivan was later created - the Ford S-Max. Production of the first generation S-Max began in 1995. It is worth noting that the model was developed jointly by Ford and Volkswagen. The car was originally produced in Palmela (Portugal), at the AutoEuropa enterprise. In addition to the Galaxy, other minivans were also assembled there - these are the Seat Alhambra and the Volkswagen Sharan. Since 2015, the third generation Ford Galaxy has been produced.

Ford Galaxy owner reviews
Diesel 1.9
- Konstantin, Stavropol Territory. I liked the car. I can characterize it as a practical and large minivan for a large family. I bought it in 2017 for 200 thousand rubles. The car impressed with dynamics and traction - a powerful 1.9-liter diesel engine develops 110 horsepower, and fuel consumption in the city does not exceed 9 liters per 100 km. In the extra-urban cycle, the car consumes 6 liters per 100 km. The manual transmission works well and shifts gears quickly. Machine 1998, the first generation.
- Mikhail, Tomsk. Despite its age, this minivan is well suited for cold conditions as well as bad roads. The car is equipped with a 1.9-liter diesel engine - the most powerful diesel engine that the first generation Ford Galaxy had (an updated car in 2006). Liked the dynamics and interior. Fuel consumption 9 l/100 km.
- Maxim, Ulyanovsk. Drove 130 thousand kilometers in 10 years of continuous operation. An excellent workhorse. I use a Ford Galaxy as a delivery mini truck. The passenger seats have been removed. Car of 2006, restyled version of the first generation. The car has been in the garage for two years now - I still can't sell it. The whole problem is a 1.9-liter diesel engine, which is demanding on fuel quality. Moreover, it still needs a major overhaul. And I'm not going to invest in it anymore.
- George, Stavropol Territory. I drive a first generation Ford Galaxy, a comfortable and practical minivan for every day. Drove 86 thousand km. Machine 2003, version after restyling. I found a copy in the secondary market - in good condition. But then the problems with the engine started. And all because of low-quality diesel fuel. The fuel consumption of a 130-horsepower diesel engine is 9 liters per 100 km.
Gasoline 2.0
- George, Leningrad region. This is my father's car, which has 130 thousand kilometers on the odometer. Bought in 1996 when I was little. The 2-liter petrol engine produces 116 horsepower. It is very dynamic, accelerates the car to 100 km / h in 15 seconds - this is normal for a minivan of this age. The car is equipped with front-wheel drive and mechanics. I drive every day, I serve myself. Pleased with low maintenance costs. Fuel consumption 14 l/100 km.
- Alexey, Sverdlovsk. Nice car, long dreamed of a minivan. Before Ford Galaxy, I had only cars, including VAZ-2101 and GAZ-31105. Ford Galaxy is also old - a first generation car, 1999. Now the mileage is 200 thousand km. I often travel out of town. I liked the soft suspension and high-torque gasoline engine - with a power of 116 liters. With. this two-liter unit consumes 13 liters per 100 km in the urban cycle, and 8 liters / 100 km on the highway. The car pleased with a practical interior, which can be quickly transformed - remove the seats and get a capacious cargo compartment.
- Alexander, Yaroslavl. The car consumes 11 l / 100 km, which is a good indicator. Acceleration to 100 km/h in 9 seconds, top speed 200 km/h. The car impressed with its stylish design, especially the front part - in the style of Aston Martin sports cars. I have a 2016 Galaxy with a 2 liter 240 hp engine. Consumption 10 l.
- Larisa, Moscow. We chose a car with my husband, the choice fell on the Ford Galaxy, as we needed a roomy car for the family, for children, for city and country trips. The car is equipped with a 240-horsepower engine that consumes only 10 l / 100 km.
- Dmitry, Tver region. I have a third generation Ford Galaxy, I have been driving for three years now. a car with a two-liter engine with 240 horsepower. Excellent dynamics, tenacious brakes and moderately stiff suspension. Perhaps a minivan needs such a character. Fuel consumption in the city at the level of 10 liters, outside the city it turns out 6.5 l / 100 km.
Gasoline 2.3
- Anton, Leningrad region. Machine of the second generation, 2008, with a 2.3-liter 160-horsepower engine and automatic. For me, this is a worthy option for those who need a large and roomy car with cool dynamics. The powerful engine accelerates the seven-seater Galaxy in 12 seconds to 100 km/h. The car is equipped with all the options that were at that time. Fuel consumption let us down - 14 liters per 100, which is a lot by modern standards. But nothing, but the car is reliable.
- Nikita, Vorkuta. I liked the car, in general it is reliable and comfortable, but for the pleasure and trouble-free driving you have to pay expensive maintenance costs. In addition, some spare parts need to be ordered - especially for elements of the cylinder-piston group. A car with a 2.3-liter engine consumes 14 l / 100 km.
- Valentin, Irkutsk. Drove 120 thousand kilometers on Ford Galaxy. I have been driving this minivan since 2010. The car of the second generation, pleased with the quick reactions to steering, smooth and almost imperceptible operation of the machine, without shocks and delays when switching to higher or higher speeds. The car is equipped with a 2.3-liter engine that develops 160 horsepower. The speakers are more than enough. The car accelerates to 100 km / h in 11 seconds, and the maximum speed is 190 km / h. Average fuel consumption is kept around 13 l / 100 km.
- Andrey, Smolensk. The second generation Ford Galaxy is a minivan for all occasions, but not without flaws. I am its second owner - I bought a car from one girl. Second generation car, 2009. Bought it for 300 thousand rubles. In excellent condition - mileage was only 30 thousand km. The girl is not used to the size of the car, well, that's understandable. And fuel consumption is rather big - within 14 liters in the city. Still, the 2.3-liter engine is very voracious. Service cost by class standards.
- Victor, Lipetsk region. Needed an inexpensive car for a large family. Naturally, I would never buy a new Ford Galaxy - the funds do not allow. Therefore, I took a closer look at the car of 2008, the car of the second generation, bought in 2016. The version with a 160-horsepower engine consumes a maximum of 14-15 liters.
- Leonid, Priozersk. The behavior of this minivan reminds me of the character of the first generation Ford Focus, which I have ever driven. And this despite the more solid dimensions. Actually, I did not regret my choice. Machine 2008 with a 2.3-liter engine and fuel consumption under 15 liters.
The main advantages of the first and second generation Ford Galaxy, produced from 1995 to 2006, are primarily a high level of practicality and inexpensive maintenance. No problems with spare parts are foreseen, but it is cheaper to buy parts from VW Sharan, since this is practically the same car that is assembled at the same car factory in Portugal. The third twin with them is the Seat Alhambra.
Benefits of buying a Ford Galaxy
I would like to note the high build quality of the Ford Galaxy, a spacious and convertible interior, comfortable seats and soft plastic trim, so there should be no problems with the further sale of the Galaxy. The equipment is quite rich, there is everything you need for a pleasant and tireless trip, including good visibility and an efficient interior heater. will not be required, because it has long been known as reliable, trouble-free and economical. Diesel fuel consumption will not exceed 10 liters in the city, 6 liters per 100 km outside the city, and the service life before overhaul reaches 500 thousand kilometers. When using high-quality fuel, the resource of fuel equipment reaches 280 thousand km of operation.
Transmission units and parts can also boast not only a large resource, but also a cheap gearbox repair. In particular, the clutch life is 150,000 km, and replacing the kit will cost $175-200. The steering is reliable, the controllability is at altitude in any conditions, the tie rods are changed only after 100 thousand km and cost about $40 per piece. The braking system is efficient and hassle-free, the rear brake pads last for 150,000 km, and their replacement is no more than $50.
The suspension is reliable, simple and maintainable, the front resource is 100 thousand km, and it will cost $ 500-600 at the service center and when installing original parts. One of the main advantages of the suspension can be called the ability to replace the hinges separately from the levers, the savings are obvious. The chassis as a whole is stable and comfortable, with a smooth ride.
The body of the Ford Galaxy is distinguished by high corrosion resistance, a spacious trunk and good sound insulation. In general, there are enough advantages not to be disappointed in choosing a Ford Galaxy I with a 1.9TDI engine.
Disadvantages and typical sores of Ford Galaxy 1995-2006 onwards
But, like any representative of the automotive industry, Galaxy cannot do without a fly in the ointment. First of all, I would like to warn about possible problems during the implementation. Although the Ford Galaxy is a copy, the units and electronic modules on them are different, and hence the inconsistent operation of the PCM module arises. It is expensive to change it, it is cheaper to repair it for $80-120. The profitability of Galaxy, unlike Sharan, is low, it will not be possible to resell profitably, large age-related losses in price. Original spare parts will also not please with low cost, as well as expensive repairs at a Ford service center. Therefore, it is cheaper to be repaired at Volkswagen auto centers or at the AutoServiceTeam technical center.
Galaxy fuel and engine problems
Although the 1.9TDI engine is reliable, due to its complex design, it is afraid of low-quality oil and fuel, the cetane number of which should not be less than 50, and the presence of water should not exceed 200 mg / kg. No "left" gas stations, because the repair of fuel equipment, especially pump injectors, can be a very unpleasant surprise. To date, filling stations of TNK, Lukoil and BP correspond to this quality. In addition, he does not like winter operation and heavy loads, it is advisable to try not to exceed the readings of 4.500 rpm. The high consumption of engine oil, reaching up to 0.5l / 1000km, is also upsetting, from here we hammer into the schedule the daily monitoring of the oil level.
Constant monitoring also requires a short-lived air flow meter, which cannot be repaired, only replaced. And last minus 1.9TDI - expensive and only professional maintenance, with garage craftsmen to contact very carefully.
1.9 TDI engine operation
The features of the operation of the 1.9TDI engine include the replacement of engine oil and fuel filter every 15 thousand kilometers. The factory recommends using SAE 5W-40 API CH-4 with Ford M2C-913C, 934 approval, specification WSS-M2C917-A or VW 505 01. In summer, 10W-40 can also be used, but the tolerance must be the same.
The car was Imported Imported from Germany with the original mileage of 92,000 km. Engine from VW Sharan, 1.9TDI with variable turbine geometry, air conditioning, 5MKPP, 2 stoves, coolant heater. The German did not want to do a big MOT and it fell on my shoulders.
Carried out works:
1. Replacement of all belts.
The funniest part is replacing the timing belt. To do this, unscrew the engine mount, slightly turning the engine. The procedure, in principle, is not complicated, but extremely inconvenient due to the limited engine compartment.
Moreover, in car services they ask for it from 7 to 10 thousand rubles. Made in the garage for 2000 (excluding belts).
2. Replacement of filters and oils in the engine-box.
Conducted independently. The engine needs 4 liters of oil. Lil p / synthetics. Oil subsequently changed every 5,000 km.
3. Refueling the air conditioner.
When refueling the air conditioner, a faulty high-pressure tube was revealed, which entailed the replacement of the tube itself + dryer. Made in the service for 8000 with materials.
4. Heater repair.
Replacing the heater plug. Candle 800-1100 rubles. Assembly and disassembly of the heater was carried out independently.
5. Replacing the ball.
Conducted independently. Ball 300 rubles.
After installing an alarm with a turbo timer and feedback (signaling 2,500 rubles + self-installation), installing music (8,000 rubles), tinting (4,500 rubles), throwing out the 3rd row seats and installing a luggage compartment curtain, we get a super-capacious comfortable family car. Particularly pleased with the fuel consumption: 6.3 liters highway, 7.5 — the city.
Diesel fuel was purchased "from the hands" in places that were safe from loosening, which had a very positive effect on the costs during the operation of the car.
During operation (1.5 years - 50,000 km) the following was replaced:
2 steering rods + ball + camber was made (2500 rubles in total), the air conditioner was refueled again (700 rubles), the rear hub bearing was replaced (800 rubles), the heater was moved, the radiator was replaced (4500 rubles).
The cost for parts is reasonable.
Ford Galaxy TDI is a copy of VW Sharan, only costs 1500-2000 cheaper. Then why pay more?
On the road:
The car is not for racing. Cruising speed is 120 km / h, while the consumption of diesel fuel is 6.3 liters. From a place, acceleration is sluggish, but when the turbine picks up, it is quite acceptable. Bus landing - I sit high, I look far away. Everything is visible, the maneuver is thought out in advance and more predictable. Visibility is excellent, but when cornering, the side pillars interfere - you need to get used to it.
Capacity:
There was no such case that something did not fit in it. Minus - constantly everyone asks to transport something. Washing machines, TVs, armchairs, furniture, etc. Galaxy swallows without problems. With the seats of the 2nd and 3rd rows taken out, you can safely sleep together in full growth in the car. The salon is transformed in 1 minute. The front seats rotate 180 degrees. The 2nd and 3rd rows are removed and arranged in any arrangement and sequence.
