Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

Hi All I am trying to help a mate get his magna sorted, its got a few problems. Firstly, it idles quite rough and feels under powered. I have changed all the plugs which were very old and it certainly is running better. however it still has the following faults: -22 Crank Angle Sensor -23 Top...

in the last day or so the wagon has developed a strong petrol smell. I checked the fuel cap, which seems sound. There are no obvious leaks anywhere. Tank is full. Do these cars have any places where they typically get fuel leaks?

this may sound weird but when im driving i notice the power gain and lessen at different times, i have not yet been able to figure out what causes it to change. it almost feel like a self activating sport mode that just changes randomly. I have been driving the car for 2 months to and from work...

I'm not sure if this is the correct part of the forum but does anyone have the battery mounting hook & wing nut (or nut) to suit my 1997 TF Magna? It is for my daughter's car. I just lifted the bonnet to check the engine oil and noticed the hook was missing and the positive battery lug red...

Any advice re rocker cover gasket brands is appreciated. I'm assuming that just like oils aint oils, gaskets aint gaskets either! Does anyone have a recommendation re brands of gaskets? Genuine spark plug rings are extremely costly however, so I would also like to hear from someone who can...

I want to get a rear spoiler for my KL, similar to my KH which has a LED brake light. I cant find anything online, does anyone know of a place that supplies them?

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had this problem with their climate control, my verada is always showing that its 20 degrees outside even when its 35, anyone know what maybe causing this? cheers

Hi guys, Recently the window regulator in my KJ2 broke. I replaced it with one from a TL. However, the window does not close properly with the door. I can align the window such that it sits on the moulding properly, but the issue is I cannot get the top edge of the window to slant inward as...

Can someone please tell me if the TL/TW sedan and wagon front doors are the same size ?

Hi All, Long time reader but can't remember posting. I was on my way home from holidays today towing a boat, about 40 mins into the 2 hour drive, the car starts to surge and loose a lot of power on the way up a hill at high revs. All of the way home I had very little power, every time I tried...

I am looking at trading wheels (KH veradah) with a mate of mine that has a AU series three ute. Couple of questions we need to answer first. The rods has the same PCD, but is the offset going to keep the rim inside my guards? He is worried that the verada rims are not going to have...

Hi guys, TW series 2 making a air woosh sound when brake pedal is pressed.Sound seems to be coming from under drivers dash.I think it has something to do with booster.Is there a line or something which may be leaking or is booster gone? Anyone have this happen and boosters expensive to fix? Any...

Have suspected for a while that my rear springs have softened and yep they sure have, 25mm more sag than spec. This is made all too obvious when there's 2 or 3 big guys in the back and the cars mudflaps scrape on even the smallest dip. Even going as far as fully bottoming out on a bump at speed....

Ok so here is my problem, my engine has a lot of problems and i have found a cheep S/H motor, however, it is a 2005 TL, I need to know if it will fit in my car, i'm pretty sure it will, but i want to double check. S/H engine is the brighter image. My engine is the image with the terrible...

My aircon has being playing up recently. When I first turn on the aircon it gives off a really bad smell which lasts for about 10secs (smells like cat piss). After that, the aircon works fine but i think the cold air masks the bad smell. So when I get out of the car for a while and go back into...

I need to buy 4 new tyres and I'm on a limited budget, anyone bought these?, if so what are your thoughts on them? cheers https://www.bridgestonetyres.com.au/supercat

Looks like the KL has an issue. Started it up just now from cold and while it was idling in park at about 1100 rpm the engine speed suddenly dropped dramatically and it nearly stalled. Did this a couple of times before settling. I've just replaced the ignition leads and plugs because it did...

So I've allocated a budget of $500 to $600 maximum for a set of four tires following an already expensive major service. I'm leaning towards Bridgestone, but I could use some guidance on what tire to use. Tire profile is 215/60/R16. The main concerns are road noise, comfort and grip. I suppose...

Call me an idiot but i have melted my spark plug boots and cant get the plugs out. Had a massive water leak from the water pump and drove it home just it got into the red. Pulled one lead out and the boot broke and looks like its melted so i cant get the spark plug out or a lead on it. So she...
