Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

Hi all, As the title states i am having a little trouble starting my wagon in the mornings as of late. It only seems to happen after it's been left over night and the air is cool. It doesn't happen after work when the weather is warm even though it's been sitting there for 9 hours. The...

Hi, I owned a 2005 Magna Tw come with a original single CD player. Before is working fine for few months, but now when I press to power on the CD player, it just play few seconds and off. I turn on again and it off immediately. And the security Led light is flashing. What is the problems? So...

Thought I'd post a current issue I'm having with my TJ Magna. It is 2003 model coming up to 200,000k and was going to try and nurse it though to about 250,000k when the following issue occurred. I filled up the car at the local Shell and within a few minutes it started to run rough. I left it for...

As the title suggests, looking at selling the Rada as I'm looking for a new car... 2003 with 165ks, few blemishes but overall pretty decent condition. Sony xplod with Bluetooth music and phone. All GTVi standard specs. So how much difference in new vehicle trade vs sell private, and...

So, as most of you know by now, I'm getting another 3rd gen in July. By then it will have been sitting since October 2015 until February 2016, then again from February 2016 to July of 2016. So it will have been sitting for a while, with the odd start up and drive. Also will have its battery...

Hi guys, I know there are a lot of threads regarding these PCV valves but I've got a question that I didn't find an answer too. It's been mentioned that a way to test a PCV valve is to shake it vigorously and see if the valve/spring move. I have done so on my PCV valve and it seems really...

This is probably nothing but I noticed that there is a little staining of what looks like fuel colour around the injectors at the bottom where they enter the engine. This may have happened in some previous maintenance work for all I know but is this normal? Can they weep slighlty over time? I...

Sometimes when i open or close the drivers door on the KH the cental locking activates several times. Its a problem because it may lock me out. Anyone know whats wrong? Also, are all the door interior light switches (at the bottom in the door frame) the same or is the drivers one different,...

Hey guys, I recently brought a 98 Verada 3.5ltr and the alternator was on it's way out. I went to Repco and brought a brand new one and switched it over. Car starts fine but a whistling noise is coming from (I presume) the Alternator. After letting it idle for a little bit I start to smell a...

Hi everyone, I just replaced my driver side window regulator. Problem now is that the window does not close properly once the door is shut. From comparing the passenger side window, it seems that the window is slanted enough such that it meets the rubber seals before the door is closed,...

Hey guys, My car is doing a weird thing where as soon as I turn it over in the morning - it slowly builds up the revs as soon as I turn the key, if you look at the taco it sort of idles around 500-700rpm for a moment, like it is thinking of dropping out, before firing up to 1500 or whatever...

I found this file I wrote for another member some time ago, so I thought the club can benefit. Basically, the following allows a 4 speed auto to be converted to tiptronic, without changing the gearbox, just the electrics. TIPTRONIC CONVERSION – KH Step 1 – Parts; You will require – KJ...

Hi guys, My ambient temp seems to always show about 4-5 degrees too high. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions?

Have a TH magna and has developed a massive water leak. Appears to be in the valley running down the gearbox and comes out when motor is not even running. Tried to get the bottom inlet manifold off but seems something on the drivers side holding it back. Looks like to be a water pipe in the...

Hi Guys Just bought one of those cheap eBay head units and put it in my 2003 KJ Series 2. Thought id just post some pics and my experience. No idea on the brand, but bought it here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251006281887?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_9391wt_3872 ...

Took the KJ out for a run last week, a couple of minutes into the drive the charging system warning light came on. Drove it straight back home for testing. While it was stopped in the driveway I gave the regulator a light tap with a hammer and sure enough, the charging light went out temporarily...
