Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

Hi just wondering who has had experience changing their standard Verada rims from the 6x16 inch rims to 7x16 inch rims and running the same tyres 215/60 , does the extra one inch width make any difference to the handling? I always felt the 6 inch rims were a bit narrow for the 215 tyres, I'm...

Ok so i have noticed that the Rear Driver side wheel does not lock on as well as the LH one. SO i took off the wheel and adjusted the ratchet thing on the hand brake mechanism but still no good, i mean it's better but i can't seam to lock that wheel with the brake unless the car is stationary, so...

I have just bought a 2005 TW VR series 2 and have noticed a few things that I need help with..

Hi guys, I've had a persistent brake squeak noise at parking lot speeds. Its intermittent, in the sense that it only squeaks on one part of the rotation of the wheel. I can make the noise go away by playing with the handbrake. I thought perhaps something was wrong with the rotor (warped...

Booking in for the big one next month. Anything necessary and anything else that can be done will be done - waterpump, etc. I am also trying to figure an approach to lifter tap which seems to stop over longer (25km +) distances. When I bought it just over a month ago I had it serviced, filters,...

Huge puddle under my car which has been sitting for a couple weeks. Looks like it's at the gasket between the engine and trans, yet the dipstick is actually showing high. Could this be from overfilling and pissing out somewhere else above the trans? (it's way too hot today to have a proper look)...

Greetings all OK, the wheel on my TW has done the usual thing with the outer grip section coming loose from the frame and now on the top section of the wheel, which is always in the sun and the part that goes they tell me, I can rotate it fore and aft a 30 or so degrees. It's not the end of...

Hi guys, I just replaced the starter and drivers seatbelt on my TL....it is now showing a 5 on the dash....could it be because I never disconnected the battery when I changed the seatbelt?....is it a seatbelt fault code and does it require a scanning tool to clear?...any help would be appreciated.

My wife somehow dented the corner of the bumper. I poured boiling water over it and tried to pop it out, but it doesn't move at all. Should I use a heat gun on this?

Temp gauge increases ~1-3 bars idling or very slow traffic. Highest I've seen it go maybe 4.5 bars past normal. Turning A/C on will drop needle down and sustain normal temps. Only been noticing this somewhat recently, last ~1000km's. Also is this damaging my car? What's weird is, the fan works I...

A/C started playing up a few weeks ago, was just hot air. Periodically does the same thing, one moment its perfectly fine cold as ice, then all of a sudden it just stops, then it'll start again. This can happen whilst driving and doing nothing different. Turning A/C on and off again does nothing,...

I need a new driver seat. Was thinking maybe the vrx seats will give me a little more grip when cornering. I would grab myself some Ralliart seats. but they are hard to find. and aftermarket bucket seats. Just no thank you. So do the vrx seats hold you in tighter? or is the only difference...
