After thinking that I've somehow fixed the ticking noise a number of times and never really knowing why I came across a page that said to rev from idle in neutral slowly to 3000 rpm over 15 secs and then letting it drop back to idle and keeping it there for 15 secs and repeating that cycle (up to...

I went to visit her at the workshop this morning and the engine is all in, new drive shafts, power steering hose, engine mounts, timing belts, and the wiring is now 50% complete. A hole was drilled into the firewall to fit the ecu. The readings on the old dash cluster were inacurrate so a new...

Hi all, I have just recently purchased a 1993 TR V6 Magna for the princely sum of $300 ( with a full tank of gas) The car is running but has been poorly maintained. I have brought a new timing set, water pump, spark pugs/leads, ect ect... I have removed the rocker covers to replace the...

Easy to replace? Do I have to take off the Plenum chamber to get to em? Cheers. Clarky.

Recently I experienced first hand a rather common failure for the Magna TR/TS. While heading home from class, we started to smell an unusual burning smell in the cabin, followed by some erratic behaviour from the automatic transmission. After 22 years or 240,000 kilometres, the Transaxle...

Hi, I have never worked on my magna 3.0L V6 before but I need to as I have finally isolated a frustating coolant loss to the engine water pipe on the back of the water pump. It doesn't leak from the front of the pump but is showing a rusty stain from the valley at the rear of the water pump and...

I have a 4 cylinder injected manual 1993 Magna wagon with a very weird radio issue. AM and FM both work fine when the engine is NOT running with the ignition switch in either the "Acc" and "On" positions. However as soon as the engine starts, the FM stops working but the AM still works fine. I...

Hey all - given the $2K government grant thingy, and it being about $700 out of pocket, is it worth converting an old TS wagon to gas? Was going to go the donut tank in the spare wheel well option, with what i imagine will be a fairly basic and standard converter on the throttle body. any...

Ok guys.. A while ago as a few know magna buff, stagma, my dad and myself completed an efi conversion on my old 92 GLX magna wagon.. Well after wanting a verada for such a long time and not wanting a auto , i thought about doing a manual conversion very hard. Well my dad bought a 93 KS...

Hi guys, Just sold my KL GTVi over the weekend and I’m already having withdrawals. Bought a 2017 Aurion Sportivo a couple of months ago which is an awesome car, but I want something to fill my time and work on (as the Toyota is taken care of by the dealer and won’t break lol) I was thinkin...

Hi Guys I recently lost some files in a computer crash and my workshop TS Magna repair manual in PDF format that I originally downloaded off this site was one of my losses. I cannot find this file any where. Would appreciate help.:(

Hey all, I was wondering if I could get some advice about my Verada, First question is to do with my ABS, the car has sat for a few years and so I was going to flush out the brake fluid but I was wondering how to go about it with the ABS System? Will I need to take it to a dealer for a scan...

'91 Magna Elite Steering wheel Controls The Magna Elite uses an uncommon method for sending codes to the radio. Rather than a voltage divider, it uses an NEC microchip that is intended for infrared remotes. Because of this, it is easy to work with if you have the right tools. The remote wire is...
