Forum: AWD Magna / Verada

Hi all...my son's 02 KJ SII EI has been erratically flashing the engine fault and traction control lights last 2 mths or so. He booked it into Mitsi's service centre today, and it seems his heater core has been leaking onto the ECU :( They're quoteing him (roughly) $3.5k to fix it all. Here's...

Hi Team. I have a 2003 AWD VR. 290k Aircon fan recently stopped working as well as heating core behind the dash, leaking coolant into the passenger side floor. First time i have had to do this so just looking for advice/guidance. Issue #1. I Am thinking of bypassing the core as i dont want to...

Hi Guys, Wondering if anyone has ever had a similar issue and knows of the root cause. The car is intermittently "half -stalling" dropping revs under light acceleration or cruising. Its somewhat hard to describe but its like the engine stops firing and starts again within a fraction of a...

Hey there, I was just wondering if anyone has taken their AWD's down to the drag strip and what times did they run?

I am looking to potentially purchase an AWD to do some club dirt events in as a WRX or Galant might be a bit of a financial stretch. I note the EVO 4 has the same brake setup as an AWD and I discovered Compomotive have gravel wheels in 15" that fit. Rally tyres are pretty much all 15" or smaller....

Hi All, I am planning to upgrade my rims to 18". Currently running 225/55R17 on 17x7 40+ offset rims. Could people with 18" rims reply with their details to aid me in chosing the right sized tyres and rim offsets. Ta. Don't know if there are any differences between the J and L/W series so...

Picked up a set of 18X8.5 second hand- w/ 3 tyres- 245x40x18- pretty cheap and pretty worn- found another tyre- different brand just to see if they were going to clear everything OK and work on the car. Tried them on and am getting some quite significant tram tracking through the steering- now...

ive got a 2000 Mitsubishi Magna Sports TJ for panel parts for my car but can i use anythin from the motor for performance parts? as in exhaust ex ex? cheers

Hi all, Wondering if anyone can help please? I have a KJ Verada auto with triptronic gears but I only ever really use the auto. I was driving the other day and left the handbrake on and when I got home the rear brake lights and the brake light on the windscreen stayed lit up even when the car...

Hello, My transmission is beginning to fail. The first 3 gears are grinding while I accelerate and once I hit 4th and 5th it operates as normal. This was not due to mistreatment or lack of servicing, nor any other direct incident but apparently a common thing with Mitsubishis. My car has done...

Air conditioner losing gas. Tried 'Leak Guard' sealant. Eventually found leak in hose that runs behind the radiator. I think it is called the discharge hose. Local Mitsubishi dealer is quoting $120.00 for the hose, plus fitting. Is this reasonable? Other alternative is hose from wreckers at $50.00....

Any suggestions on what adhesive to use to re-attach a sagging head lining?

Hi All. Vehicle details 2003 Verada AWD Automatic with around 200,000 k's Modifications K@N Filter HID Headlights I'm hoping that the combined knowledge of the members in here can help me with an issue on our new family car.

Hi all. I changed the rear rocker gasket a month or so back with no issues as it was leaking the most. Front was only weeping. Today did the front. All went easy till it came time to start. It kicks over fine. Can smell fuel so guess the injectors are working. Can only guess it spark. But...

Hi guys, My 2003 TJ AWD has a gear whine. It seems to occur only in 3rd, so I'm assuming it is the gearbox itself. It has gradually gotten worst over the last few thousand km, but has been there longer (perhaps 10,000km). The car has done 84000 km, and I only drive in tiptronic mode. Has...

just wondering if i can fit a clock center display to this car without changing the harness as mine only has the 3 light system there and i dont have a clock in the car as stereo has been changed Warren

Can anyone tell me if there are any differences in the seats, front and back, between the 2003/2004 KL/KW models? Did they change the shape/size/bolstering etc?

First of all, Hi my name is Kaine. Now, I have some issues that have popped up in the past few weeks that I am not sure what to do about. I am very much a n00b when it comes to working on cars, so I would greatly appreciate some insight and assistance. 1. Most importantly last week it...

Hi All, My wife has decided that after 5 years she wants a change. What do you think would be a fair price to ask for a 2004 TL VR AWD, 103,000K, daintree green, un-marked perfect interior, great mechanically, only a couple of stone chips on the leading edge of the bonnet and a slight parking...
