Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

For a week or so there's been this hot burning smell from the car. it seems to be coming from the front LH side wheel. This is after slow suburban driving, no heavy braking. Car has done 134k, it has AWD discs and calipers, new linings about 30k ago. Any advice as to possible causes would be...

Just wondering what is involved in fitting a 380 inlet manifold/plenum to a 6g74

I've got a bump on my left hand side front wheel whenever I go over rough terrain or bumps, so I went to the local Wreckers and got a new Strut. Now the strut is from a TR and my car is a TF, he assured me that it will be the same strut. After pulling my old strut out I realized that it is...

I've got a TH Advance Wagon 03/99. The right rear wheel ABS sensor is faulty (open circuit). Also confirmed by MUT. My mechanic has had four attempts to get a replacement part but all have been incorrect when received. They don't fit. The ABS sensor on my wagon is mostly metal with a one lug...

Hey guys, hows it going. My names Josh, i've been browsing through this forum for the past few months now but i've only finally decided to make a post. Recently I got my queensland red provisional license and luckily for me I picked up a cheap 96 magna in pretty smick condition, soon after with...

I'm going to be replacing the timing belt soon and while I'm at it want to replace the camshaft and crankshaft seals too. The only thing that I am concerned with is getting to the seals. To remove the bolt on the cam sprockets the manual says you need the special "End yoke tool" EMB990767. I'm not...

Okay so I have a 99 th sport that runs like a dream, at least it did until this morning when the idle fluctuated from 800 (where it normally sits) to roughly 200 multiple times and then eventually stalled. Up until this occurred this morning the car was mechanically sound, disconnected the battery...

Hi guys, I’ve got a 2003 TL Magna Wagon 3.5L that has recently developed some engine problems I’m at a loss to fix. A few months ago the car would intermittently stutter at idle in Drive (but not in Neutral), and also stutter when taking off at low RPM (below 2000). It would go away during...

My 98 TF's rear passenger door won't latch shut. The latch mechanism will rotate freely into the shut position but it won't lock in place regardless of lock/child lock status, it just swings back up every time. Broken? How to fix - bad day for this to happen :tired: Cheers.

Gday everyone, doing a timing belt on my 2000 model TH today as the chattering belt noise when cold has been happening for a while now but do i REALLY need to replace the hydraulic tensioner as well or can I get away with just belts seals & pulleys etc ?? the cars done 235,000K on the original...

This may sound like a crazy idea to some, but given the scarcity of good used transmissions for the Magna why cant a transmission from another make/model be adapted to suit? I was having a beer on the beach and the idea came to me. If theres another more recent/common transmission out there...

My TJ has begun to suffer from the ruining effects of skin cancer (clear coat failure.) I have been told that waxing the vehicle will increase the speed of deterioration. I am sceptical of this ! :nuts: Does anyone out there have any info on how to at least slow down the skin cancer? The...
