Forum: Second Generation Magna TR - TS

Hey guys, I not long ago picked up a 1995 Diamante 30R-SE wagon - built in South Australia, technically it's a KS Verada but it an export model designated K45/F07W. It is the top of the line 30R-SE so it has the Bosch 4 channel ABS with the larger twin pots up front and vented rotors at the...

Hi, tried searching forum but couldn't find much. Need to replace my harmonic balancer pulley which has separated at the pulley. Got old one off cos it's in 2 bits. Can't get new one on though. Have undone pass side engine mount but engine still not low enough. Would love any tips how best to do...

G'day guys and gals. I'm onto my 3rd Magna and need a bit of guidance. 206xxxkm's, runs like an absolute dream. It has a really mild rough idle when at traffic lights etc, and I can't find what's causing it. Even had my mechanic look it over and i recreated the issue and he says it's normal. Now...

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...

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

hey all, I'm after some advice for my Verada's engine, sorry if any of these are silly, but I'd rather ask a few stupid questions than hurt my engine. any advice or ideas are much appreciated, thanks. I have noticed the lower timing cover has been chewed up by the crank pulley and timing belt,...

Hi all, is anyone aware of a scan-tool or code-reader to suit the 1994 TS Magna? Previously, I was able to use the great Forscan software and a cheap eBay OBD->USB adapter on each of my Falcons. Is there a similar setup available to suit the Magna? Cheers.

Hi all, I'm a bit late to the party having only bought my first Magna a year ago. It's now become a bit of a project to fix it each weekend. :happy: It's a 1994 TS Magna sedan. Currently has 173,000kms on the clock. Runs great. Anyway, I spotted this item sitting on the firewall around about...

Hi all, Magna TS 3.0 1994 SE Long story, so grab a beer sit back and have a laugh or a cringe... Many many moons ago when petrol was 65c i paid for a sports exhaust and had the injectors cleaned out properly (Saw the before and after spray shots and there was a difference). It ran great and...

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...

Hey all, I was hoping to get some advice on my Verada's annoying habit of its starter going out of alignment with the ring gear. It starts off fine but after 2-3 starts it just bounces off the ring gear and free wheels without engaging, so I get under and readjust it, I make sure the bolts are...

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...

Hi, The radiator overflow bottle cap has deteriorated in my '92 Verada, both the inlet and outlet tubes are cracked on the top of cap at the bends where they enter the bottle. Of course, because the inlet tube is no longer intact there is no sucking the ejected coolant back in to the radiator. ...

Hi. I haven't been on for quite a while. Still driving the old beast at 450,000 ks now (magna ts 6 cyl auto). Original motor and auto box. I've got a long drive coming up and yesterday the oil pressure light came on. I cleaned/swapped the sensor, changed oil and filter and its now flickering on...

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...

Hey everyone. Having a issue with my magna. The dash computer has stopped working and doesnt show anything, the aircon stopped working and the central locking has stopped working also. When i turn the car on the fuel and temp gauge go up and down followed by the rev and speedo dials. The car still...

Hey All Im currently undertaking a project using the ECU and parts out of a TS Magna, but the donor car i have has an automatic transmission. The question i have is if i disconnect the inputs/outputs from the engine ECU to the A/T ECU, will the engine ECU still operate properly , or are there...

took the wheel off and got under and had a look yesterday. CV Joint boot is gone - already sourced a split boot to replace it - although I'm wondering if the boot's been split for some time and the CV is actually the thing that "rattles". The sound is not very prominent and more so on small...

Hello gang, once again I seek info from the resident experts. My TR 3 ltr 5speed manual gearbox has turned to shit. 400K from home, changing from 5th back to 4th ..... crash. Gear lever is not able to be moved, it's locked solid. After much swearing, jiggling etc, I managed to get 1st, 2nd, 3rd...
