Forum: AWD Magna / Verada

Does anyone know whats required to get a TJ AWD Auto to work on an TL AWD auto? The TJ has the speedo going into it, so if it is put in a TL, would it work?

My TJII AWD has a squeaking rear suspension. It's most noticeable up to about 60km/h. I can't isolate the squeak/s to any particular part of the suspension. The car has done 190K and I suspect the bushes may have passed their use-by date. Does anyone else have this problem and/or have any...

is there a way to reset the service light i have recently done a service on the car..

Looking at new muffler/ air filter and tune for 98 RON (CAI is being investigated, looks like a go). Also new suspension, (its still tight but 130,000km done) I have looked at many bits and pieces but a final thought from the magna community would be great. happy to drop $400 + each on both...

Does anybody know what sort of limitations we have on the AWD's for rim width and corresponding offset? I'm looking at a few new types of rims for the VR-X and the majority seem to be 8.5" wide with a +44 offset, which is going to sit 3mm further in from the guard, but also reduce the inner...

Hey all, I'm wondering what mods (if any) others have done for some cheap performance increases. What I'd like to know is are there any mods to the airbox or intake that can be done or even something as simple as an after market filter (K&N) or even pod filters? Any help would be great. Cheers

G'day all. I'm looking at getting a new double din head unit for my Verada. I've searched these forums and elsewhere for answers to these 2 questions but couldn't find any. So I've removed the factory unit to check wiring etc and found that as well as the main connector that there's a small 8...

Just wondering if anyone has fitted strut braces to their AWD and if there was much benefit?

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...

My 2005 Verada is due (or overdue if we're counting years) for its 100k timing belt replacement. Is it necessary to get anything else to do with the belt replaced at the same time, or can it wait until the next time the belt replacement is due? Also can anyone recommend a place in Perth,...

I was surprised to discover that the front rotors get way hotter than the rear. Pulled into a car wash, got out, got change and sprayed water over the front fender and the rotors literally sizzled like a BBQ. The rears instantly evaporated the water too, but didn't sizzle. I thought with EBD...

Hi all, Travelled Brisbane-toowoomba yesterday for a Chrissy get together in our one-owner tl Awd. Was a steamy day but not exceptional early on. Noticed as we drove up the range that the temp gauge moved up from its usual just under halfway point, to about three quarters up. Watched it...

Any ideas what i should be expecting trade in for 2004 TL, 134k km, get ranges all over the place, against comparable value new cars, so wanted an idea?

Hey People. I just bought a cheap AWD KJ AWD. One thing i noticed that sometimes it seems to slip between gears. Is this normal? Could I be looking at an expensive transmission replacement? Usually only happens between 2nd and 3rd gear change. if I feather it it is fine. if I thrash it a bit...

Hi folks, can you confirm if a KL Verada Xi has a Subwoofer, cheers!

hi all , I have a 2005 verada GTVI that has a broken strut ( it drops out when jacked up)I need to fix it but not sure what models second hand parts will suit, or where in Kalgoorlie I can even get parts. I cant afford to take it to a mechanic, any help?

Hi guys I know someone wrecking a TJ magna and i'm taking the AWD out on a track day in a couple of months. Would there be any issue throwing on a set of TJ executive rims on the AWD for the track day to help save my tyres! From what I understand the TJ's are 15's where the AWD is 16's so...

Ah, I topped up the oil level yesterday after a service had been done because it seemed too low on the dipstick and now its showing about half a cm too high at cold. Is this going to cause any lubrication issue or is it ok to drive the car when slightly over the max like this? (Going on a...

Discussion only. Has anybody read the factory manual section on the AWD system? Page 18 of Section 23E AWD General Information. Its parts of the transmission section. The AWD's center differential is in the transmission, the front diff is in the transfer case. So, is the front diff the...

I am looking at replacing my rear coils soon as the car sits with a full tank at 355mm from centre of wheel to wheel arch. The question I have is are the springs lowered to start with and what height should they be? I am looking at Dobinsons springs though their catalogue do not mention AWD, so...
