Forum: AWD Magna / Verada

Hi Guys, Wondering if anyone has ever had a similar issue and knows of the root cause. The car is intermittently "half -stalling" dropping revs under light acceleration or cruising. Its somewhat hard to describe but its like the engine stops firing and starts again within a fraction of a...

Hi All, First on here going to look at an 04 AWD tomorrow morning. Can anyone suggest common things to lookout for on the car and the benifits/downfalls in comparison to its FWD sister...

So my AWD TL is running like a pig, got a random SRS warning light and I think the car needs a scan and possibly a tune. I am aware of our member down the south east but I only have one car and a family of 3 so the distance I just cant do. I am hoping for some suggestions on quality and...

not sure whats going on but i understand my car has a 72 lt tank.so why when my fuel light comes on and the gauge reads empty do i fill up and only get no more than 55lts in????its got me stuffed.am i the only one? cheers

Hey guys, Everytime I both start my car and turn it off I get a banging/knocking noise from the fuel tank area which lasts for about 3 bangs. Any idea if this is normal or if there could be an issue?? Thanks :)

Hey Guys, Just purchased a Verada Kj Ei and was looking for some tips for maintaining it and also ideas for some simple and cheap mods that won't make it run or look like a shit box :) Thanks!

It's a long shot...but... Has anyone here pulled apart the AWD transmission? I need to know if the differential fits in a stock FWD transmission with no modification. Also whether the crown wheel and shafts are removed as one piece.

I know this has been discussed before, and it is the end of the 2009 season :cry: but I just stumbled accross this bit of information regarding snow chains in NSW for AWD's and 4WD's. There was discussion in changing the requirements but it doesn't look like they are going to. Good news for us AWD...

Just wondering if the AWD's have a different setting / profile for wheel alignments vs the front wheel drives?? I'm due for a wheel alignment soon and just want to check if anyone knew of any differences? If any? Thanks,

G'day, Was underneath the rear of the car the other day and noticed the rear diff had been seeping oil out bottom half was covered in a thin film. It was also covered in dirt (as I have recently been to the Inlaws farm). Should I clean it with a can of degreaser and see where it is leaking...

I'm coming due for some rear brake pads, has anyone had to replace the rear rotors as well? Done 14xxxxkms have done the fronts on all sort of cars but never rears. Just curious?

Hello, It seem my left tyres are wearing quicker then the right, especially on the outside. The centre is about even on both sides. I have them rotated every 5000km with a wheel alignment. (got a package when I got the tyres). They are the standard 215/60/16 Bridgestone Turanza's. They have...

Anyone know off hand if the Towbar off a FWD will fit and AWD. Mum has a 2000 FWD with a tow bar that never used, and I have a 2003 AWD I was thinking of swapping it over, so that I can never use it too lol. I'm thinking to start a little project of an old L200 that is at my grandparents,...

Hi all, My heater vents have just recently started blowing out a smelly blue/white smoke. It only happens when the temp control is set on any range that involves hot air, from warm to hot. The further ot I turn it, the more smoke. When it first happened my wife said there was some water or...

Any ideas what i should be expecting trade in for 2004 TL, 134k km, get ranges all over the place, against comparable value new cars, so wanted an idea?
