Forum: AWD Magna / Verada

Hello, this is my first post and I'm glad I found this community because it looks like its going to be very helpful. I've picked up a 2004 KW Verada AWD which I'm getting to know. I'm only a driver with no mechanical training, but I know my old car very well and like to maintain my cars well. ...

I have new Hub bearings to fit to my car, these will get done in the coming weeks. How difficult are they to change? I have consulted the service manual, but it is not very clear in how it's done.

EDIT: Please, don't post spam/crap/pointless messages. I'd like to seriously brainstorm these ideas and I value the experience and help of AMC members. "You hoon" is not helpful, so please don't say it. Hi guys, Firstly, the legal stuff - I'm not condoning, promoting or participating in...

A follow AMC member, jzt, pointed me to this Jap wreck importer in QLD that seems to have a half cut Diamante 30M with a MIVEC 3.0L DOHC 6G72 engine (or maybe just the engine). It got me wondering and I started searching through the forums for any engine swaps done by any AMC member on 3rd gens...

Hi Folks. I currently have myself an 04 TL awd vrx and am wanting to remove the chrome gear selector surrond. How does it get removed without breaking the clips??

I have been looking for an AWD Magna/Verada for a little while now but can't seem to find any... Anyone got any tips on where to look in Melbourne? So far I have tried a few mitsu dealers and looked around on drive/etc.

Hi all Have just joined AMC and seen some fantastic car. I was hoping to get some advice . My car is the following 2005 GTVi AWD with 100k on the clock, the other day the gear box was hunting for gears, there was a whineing sound. I took it to the Mitsa dealer where the car has been service for...

Yeah, so my AWD has been neglected for the past few weeks while I put in driving hours in the 380. I have a feeling the AWD now sees itself as the "ex" and it must give me hell for spending more time with a younger model. I've had to jump start it a few times recently. But, I've made a point...

Hey Guys, Just brought myself a shiny red awd magna vrx 2004. I have been reading thru endless post about them, but there a some grey areas, that i would like cleared up. I'll break it down into different headings, i want people who own or worked on these cars that actually know what their...

Hey all, Having resisted the suv siren song and repaired our beloved tl... https://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107492&page=2 I'm now thinking whether it is worth adjusting the ride height. But instead of lowering, i want to make it higher! The standard clearance is about...

My 2005 KW Verada GTVI transmission developed a grinding noise a couple of weeks ago. I had the RACV tow it to my local mechanic and gave it a road test and came to the conclusion that there was some flaring. The noise had disappeared but it turned out to be a failure in the overdrive unit. Lots of...

Hey Guys, This is my first time posting on these forums, although I have come across them a few times in Google before. I was wondering whether anyone would be kind enough to give me some advice, regarding some issues that I am currently experiencing with my Magna. Whilst I know quite a bit...

Ok well I now have my car at the stage I would like it to be at - minus the exhaust! I am looking preferably for a bolt on exhaust of some sort onto a TW LS AWD. Can anybody recommend a make and model? I know of the lukey LR2779 and the bolt on equivalent, are they any good? And how much should I...

I've had a tyre brand and model recommended to me, but there are none of them available in Brisbane for another week, so with being impatient and wanting to fit my new 18's NOW the tyre shops have recommended the following tyre brands/models in a 235-40-R18 95W (I'd prefer 235-45-R18 but they're...

Hey guys, Trying to work out different ride height options, I've seen a couple of TL/KL AWD's with King Lows, can someone with a TL or KL AWD on King SP's possibly post a photo or two of the ride height? Trying to work out a nice balance between looks and performance atm. If we could keep...

So, I need new tyres, as my front ones are suffering from the painful outside edge wear that from what I tell is a common issue. It's certainly been an issue the time I've had the car, however i think the tyres I have on it are the quickest ones to wear down. I'm a bit disappointing, as I was...

Hi again every one i was just wondering how well our awd system works, for example if you were to put 2 wheels on roller and leave 2 with traction is it able to send power to wheels with traction, i know its not an offroad vehicle, i would just like to know if its responsive enough :) and how...

Noticed the other day that there are a couple of leaks in both rocker covers. Not seeping, just a show of black "powder" stain in those areas. I was surprised as the KH has no visible leaks after 200,000 k's and the AWD has only done 40. Is there much work in replacing these? I notice the...
