Forum: Second Generation Magna TR - TS

Hello again! I'm a stubborn ba#$rd and can't let this oil leak thing go... Now, decided I would look at the front crankshaft pulley because Im pretty sure there is a leak coming from around there somewhere... Anyway... inspecting the front crank pulley, after taking the black plastic housing...

OK, so I didnt do it properly, probably should have consulted my manual BEFORE taking rocker assembly off, so what can I do now? I didnt put the engine at TDC compression for the number 1 cylinder, so is this why its not running properly now? I know i shouldnt have touched it, but i wanted to...

I had been running with the fluid barely showing on the dipstick for months, before the gearbox finally gave up. Then i topped it up with ATFIII fluid because it was all i could get, but that didn't help. After the failure, both the oil and transmission fluid was leaking. Topic edited. Formerly...

Hello all!! Now Ive had a good read through the forum and found this so far: My PCV valve was EFFED and I replaced it. Hose just snapped off when I tried to check it, so new both. Cleaned rocker cover (front) and replaced gasket (didnt do plug seals, yet...) Back rocker no sign of major...

Before taking the car for it's rego I thought I would fix up the tiny leak from the rocker box cover near the water pump. So I removed the cover cleaned it all up and used some gasket stuff I bought because the sealastic I used a year ago had dried up even though I put the cap on properly. ...

Hey guys, Had a bit of an accident... well someone hit me while I was parked and then left without leaving me any details and nobody saw them but anyways My quarter panel on the front drivers side is dented in over the wheel arch, and it being a v6si is hard to find the body part with...

My TS wagon is starting to cost me money and she's feeling a bit long in the tooth. I am selling her this week to a car yard (I don't want to sell her privately because of the inconvenience of getting a road worthy and the possibility of passing problems to someone else). I'll miss the old...

Hi all, I am 61 and have done most of my mechanics my whole life and have no problems working on most rear drive cars but this is my first ever front wheel drive. I just replaced both driveshafts in my TR SE auto wagon. I followed the workshop manual to a tee(a bit sketchy) but all went great on...

I am looking to buy a new cheap car. I want something as big in the back as my TR so what should I be looking at?

Mystery fault, and I'm not really sure where to start looking. I noticed that the dash lights were not working and subsequently discovered that tail-lights were out also. Found blown fuse in engine bay fuse box, replaced, blew again, repeat. I'm not sure where to start looking. I haven't...

Hi, this is my first post as I am a new member. Firstly, let me just say what a great Forum. I have learnt a great deal. Used to be on the tools, but a long time ago, never got to work on EFI & electronics etc., so have to re-educate myself. My daughter drives my old car, a 9/92 TR magna 2.6...

After 19 years and 261,000km my Verada wagon's rear muffler has died (rust, one of the tailpipes - complete with chrome end- has disappeared). Looked at the wreckers and a Magna wagon one is different - slightly smaller, different mounts, no chrome tips. Looks like it will interchange if I take the...

Hi there My 1994 Magna TS has a problem with the central locking on the front passenger side. If I unlock from the passenger door everything works fine. If I unlock from the drivers side the front passenger door unlocks but almost immediately drops back down into a lock position... this only...

Hey, my car is a 1994 TS Magna Exec V6 Manual. It's kept in fairly good shape but lately under acceleration I have been hearing a whooshing sound coming from right in front of me whilst driving. I initially thought it might have been a split hose. I've looked but can't find any damaged Hoses....

specifically, if anyone has compared blocks. i know astron I balance shafts have a different profile to astron II shafts. My question is (the tp had an astron II head) so when was the astron II brought in? was it tr, tp or earlier?

Hey everyone, Just want to thank you in advance for the help. I can find virtually nothing about this car online. Heres the long story short 92 Diamante 3.0 ATX, factory ECS, ABS and TCL. Mods, 3000gt coilovers modded to fit Diamante, Vanity body kit, IPT built transmission with ProTorque...

My 1994 Magna TS Exec V6 Auto has a transmission whine at 90 kms an hour... any suggestions?

Hey all, Have not posted for a while, mainly due to the ol girl running so well! However, about a week ago there was a small amount of coolant under the car. Further investigation would lead me to believe that it is leaking from behind the crank pulley wheel. This I would understand to be a water...

Problem is that I need to replace the fuel pump on a verada KS sedan. Access seems to be very limited. The manual suggests I may even need to drop the fuel tank. There are no obvious trolley jacking points on the rear end and I am getting conflicting advice about using the very solid looking...

Hi, I am unable to find a thread in regard to this. I am sure there is one. I want to change the manual transmission oil in my Magna TS 4 cylinder sedan. Can some one please let me know where the filler and emptying plugs are? How much and what type of oil is required? Any help would be...
