Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

So I have been having a play with some roms provided by gremlin, lets just say I got lucky and ended up with a definition file. Still working out how to host the file, but here is a screen shot of the fuel map. https://img252.imageshack.us/img252/2987/09111823754.jpg Interesting times ahead...

Hi there. Still chasing down my lumpy idle issue, and have a question about the EGR valve which I have removed from the car. If there is no vacuum applied to the diaphragm (ie EGR valve closed), the manual says there should be no airflow between the two large ports which connect to the...

https://youtu.be/q6kwG0uUsoE Today (when looking at my engine for something else) I noticed there appeared to be a lot of engine movement when moving between drive and reverse. Worn engine mounts? Normal? The driver's side and rear engine mounts are only about 6 months old. The front...

My TF wagon with 350,000 ks on the clock has been a great car but lately the sound and feel of road bumps is starting to bug me. Dunno if I'm just getting old, but I feel like every little bump is being transferred to my backbone. I havent crawled under the car for a good look but I assume there...

2002 TJII Sports 5 speed auto, sedan. I've had this sound for a while now and thought it was something to do with transmission or sticky rear brakes (front are like new, haven't done rear yet). BUT Today I started my vehicle in park, hand brake off (foot on brake). About 1 or 2 seconds...

Okay...browsing Ebay for a set of front/back mudflaps for our newly purchased TJ. The only sellers I could find were offering them for $77 a pair !!! There must be an alternative source for these things which doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Anyone know if you can still buy these new?

Hi guys,my ignition barrel suddenly stoped working.I can't rotate it from 0 position. I've tried to shift gears from p to n and so on but nothing happens. i've also moved the car a bit so the wheels to move freely still nothing. I can rotate the steering shaft left-right and tried the key...

Hi Guys It appears the voltage regulator has gone on my 2003 TL. It means I'm without wheels and have to search locally for a replacement so I was wondering if the regulator, (or alternator if I have to buy the whole thing), is the same on other models/years? There are a few people wrecking...

Is the tan interior the same color between all models, or is the KL/W series different?

Woes me... the missus left the boot open on her car and the car was left in the garage without being noticed for a few days. Now the battery is virtually flat. Courtesy lights still come on and door ajar light in the dash... but there's no turnover at all. She did this a couple of months ago and...

Hey all! I'm looking at buying a Magna on LPG, as a runabout. Budget is around $1500-$2500. I have narrowed it down to a couple of cars I like. First one is a 1998 (TE) Altera V6 Auto, 242,000km. $2000 The second one is a 1999(TF) Executive V6 Auto, 151,000. $2500 So I know the Altera...

And where? If so I'd like to check and clean it

I read somewhere that it can be improved by holding it next to your head while clicking it, and it works! At least, it does for me.

Hi guys, a mate has a TJ and has asked me to put this question to the forum. How much would one expect to pay for a new or reconditioned alternator + labour? He also asks is the RACV changeover service and the alternators they use okay?

Hey Guys, I have a 2000 KH Verada with the 3.5L V6, Just had my transmission serviced and while it was up on the hoist they showed me a decent size oil leak coming from the back of the motor ( side against the firewall) Car has 146,000 Km's I believe the leak is coming from the rocker...

I was looking buying a pair of tl or tw vrx taillights as an alternative to tinting my tails, but found they are very expensive ($400+ each from mitsu, $300 used) I am wondering if there is a cheaper alternative? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Driving in to work today I noticed when coasting in 4th or 3rd at say 1300rpm, every 5 seconds the revs would drop to about 1100rpm, every 5 seconds. Also seems like when I'm accelerating and it changes from 2nd to 3rd, it would rev high really quickly just before shifting. Not a lot, but if it was...

Did a quick search and did not find what I needed. Can anyone give some advice on the size for the ALT drive belt 6PK???? I'm seeing 6PK1195 , & 6PK1215 as suitable aftermarket sizes. Is one more suited than the other or both within limits to fit and tension correctly? Thanks

Hi, I have to wire in a beeper so I can hear the flashers, can any one help me with a wiring diagram of the indicator circuit, been looking on here for a wiring picture, have down loaded the manual from here but has not got wiring, also a lot of it won't open, some one said I need a ISO file...

Hi all, just wondering if there is any visual differences between the steering rack from a TE/TJ compared to a rack from a TL/TW? I'm waiting for the one I bought to arrive and when it does I just want to make sure its from a TL as I haven't see a photo of it. Cheers Dean
