Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

Anyone know freeze plug sizes for 3.5L TJ/6g74? Specifically the ones behind the (auto) transmission. For some damn reason my cooling system is probably corroded (only got 67000km and serviced just as often as any other magna) Just had freeze plugs on rear of engine corroded out, leaking bad...

Magna 2004 manual (180000 km) When start running very rough until warm then ok. At start looks like do not run 6 cylinders. Complete timing belt service was done 30000 km ago. I appreciate inputs. I hope that is a simple issue because I would like to sell the vehicle soon because now I do not...

Hi Guys I would like to install a bigger 2-din radio in the TJ. Any advice on installation- how easy/ difficult and what i need to buy including suggested radio models. Do I need a new fascia? Thanks in advance for replies. Fredbear.

Hey I've just started doing up an old tf I had sitting in the backyard and thought I should start just putting some ideas out there, hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm guessing putting a 380 top end on a 3.5 would be pretty straight forward, can 380 heads be mated to the 3...

Car is a 2000 Verada 3.5 Just lately when I start the engine there seems to be a ticking noise coming from the central dash area behind Radio/Air vent area. It stops after about 30-40 seconds. Any ideas please?:roflwtf:

So pretty much offered to help my step mum with her car and am starting to think i should never have touched it! Original problems were: *oil leaking from rocker covers. *exhaust manifold gaskets leaking. *minor cough idle only, barley noticeable. What I did: *rocker cover gaskets...

Any chance anyone knows off the top of their head what the wire is for the power antenna in a 97 TF Altera wiring loom? Just did a complete interior refit of an 97 TF Executive for the better 97 TF Altera with power windows/cruise. Yes.. I am sucker for punishment...Didn't get the memo that I'd...

I've tolerated this for a while and a couple of times have cleaned under the hood with degreaser and a high pressure hose, still an oil smell persists. It is not noticeable on short trips but seems to increase on longer trips. Last visit to mechanic, he did say he needed to pull things apart to see...

Howdy normaly just read on the forum for research but today i have to ask a question i am in the middle of doing the headlining of course its out and i am cleaning at present and then i am going to replace original fabric with a different colour so it matches i want to do the sliding...

Hi all, Contemplating some trips in the car next year and trying to source a bull bar for the old girl. Have checked the usual sources including Gumtree, almost nothing to be found and the only listing found was non responsive to phone calls and messages. Given the cars age and mileage, the...

Sorry Guys, I did post this in the Verada forum. But it has a bit of relevance to the 3rd Generation. Sorry if I p*ss anybody off. But there seems to be a lot more people here. Anyway...... Hi Guys. Great site. Has been very helpful over the past year or so. First post on behalf of my...

to cut a long story short, we've been driven around in a $0.5m maybach tonight. Went home in a camry. While I won't make silly claims like the magna is a good as the maybach, I thought the camry came darn close. I won't rush out and buy a maybach any time soon, not that this was on the cards. To...

The search function doesn't seem to be working. I bought a cheap OBD2 reader on Ebay and it connects to the TW OK but won't read anything. My google search says that I need a special cable. Can anyone throw any light on this? thanks

Hi guys I have a TL AWD, but thought I'd post this in the general Magna forum. My car has done just over 200K's. The timing belt was changed at approx. 110K's, around 5-6 years ago. The car has that common rattling sound when cold, this disappears after a few seconds but I believe it is...

Hi Guys, I have a ralliart magna, and yesterday the fuel gauge decided to show empty with the light on, even though the tank was full. Any ideas? Cheers! Evan

Hallo Does anyone have part numbers or were to purchase a speedo ring gear for a wavetrac LSD unit? Cheers

Havn't really paid much attention since getting a GTVi muffler which makes the engine audible at highway speeds. But I have noticed that the torque converter seems quite happy to unlock itself even when doing 100kph. If I let off the throttle the torque converter almost immediately frees up, the...

Whilst looking up information about exhausts, I found the following article by Sydney's "Best Mufflers". I have spoken to him about 6 months ago about replacing my centre section. Even though I "passed" on getting him to repair mine due to cost and distance from where I live, I believe that...

I have MY02 TJ 3.5L V6 Si. I prematurely bought a 2.5" high flow cat lol I'm thinking I must be 2.25"? I have no idea the size of my exhaust system, and no i can't measure it atm. I get conflicting information, from 2" to 2.5". e.g. - Youtube vid of my exact car says he 'upgraded' to 2.5"...

hi guys. I recently bought a tl wagon cheaply because it wasn't running. The previous owner told me it started running rough so he decided to change the plugs and leads. After he did this it wouldn't start. he checked for codes and it came up crank angle sensor. he changed that, it still wouldn't...
