Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

Hi guys, I recently bought a generic OBD-II scanner from eBay to see if I could diagnose the increased fuel usage after my last tune-up service. I've been experiencing an average of 18L/100KM and I'm out of ideas as to what may be causing it. I had my muffler welded as it exploded, and all oils are...

Hi All, I'm removing the distributor to replace the O ring seal and the distributor is so hard to remove, I'm twisting it back and forth and its slowly coming, is this normal for it to be so hard to remove? cheers

I took a KW Verada for a test drive the other day and the road noise was bad, is this common with the KL/KW Verada's or maybe the tyres are the cause? cheers

Hi all, I took a KW Verada for at test drive today and noticed it doesn't have the climate control display like my KH does, does the KW Verada have a display for the outside temp in a different spot? also the brake pedal seems to go a fair way to the floor before anything happens, could this just...

my verada auto locks after 20secs when i exit car without remote locking. can i change the timer to auto lock after 60secs 80secs etc....because the keys can be locked inside car by a inexperienced car owner. any tips pls

Hi guys, I find my KJ2 climate control unit to operate somewhat oddly. When the fan is on (no A/C), the air coming out of the vents is cold up until setting it to 27 or so, at which point it becomes considerably warmer, and then each increment until 32 makes a difference. Is it normal that...

Just wondering if anyone has had to replace the rad cooling motor due to a sloppy motor shaft. I have not pulled this out but when i was in there last fitting the tranny oil cooler I noticed the fan had a wobble and making a horrible noise. Fiddled with it and it seemed to quieten but now as the...

Hi guys, My brakes had been grinding for a while. The harder I pressed the more the grind was. It is not loud, but it is felt through the pedal. Anyway, today I put new rotors and pads on assuming/hoping the issue would be resolved (the old ones only had a few mm of material left) but the...

Hi all , newbie here... I've just purchased a KJ Verada Ei in silver with 97000km's it needs the rocker covers done etc, but I've got the parts ordered for that. I'm looking for some info about the centre armrest... It's to low, I was looking at a diamante console, I can get a US one fairly...

Hi guys, my Verada wagon has a heater fan malfunction. I started it up the other day after leaving it for a fortnight, and now the fan goes all the time on full blast, I.e the fan switch won't respond to any touch and the ac switch won' t kill the fan either. Anyone come across the gremlin before?...

Hey fellas, can anyone confirm if the rear brake caliper setup on a TJ Magna and a 380 are similar. I'm upgrading the front caliper on my TJ Sports to a set of 380s and am thinking of getting steel braided hoses. Problem is the 380 hose kit comes in a complete set (front and rear). I was wondering...

I was driving today on a 60km/h road with traffic lights etc. for about 45 minutes, then when I pulled up at a set of lights the engine was idling very rough and stumbling as if it were going to cut out. I kept going and it got worse, even to the point of doing it a bit while cruising on a light...

Hi Guys Sorry to flog a dead horse but got a small problem that would like some clarification on. Car is going well no major problems just that when i accelerate from stop I get a small amount of shudder then seems to go away after about 40kph. If you accelerate very gently only slightly a...

Ok so Im tackling the Climate shuffle I have the TL Climate Control and Im putting it into a Tj S1 VRX Im going on the following information I searched up and assuming there is no difference between S1 and S2 TJ VRX wiring looms. If anyone knows EXACTLY what is needed please let me know. ...

Gday people. I've found myself a TL ES magna that seems to have all of the dash and associated parts still in tact. I was interested in possibly doing a complete dash conversion including the climate control. So what parts would I need from the TL? Obviously I'll need the centre unit with...

Just a silly question can a faulty inhibitor switch stop a car from moving in gear? I'm looking at a TL Magna on ebay and the guy says it wont move in gear, heres what he said "Did drive as had transmission service but as soon as I put it in manual mode it wouldn't move , someone come had a...

Long story summarised, my wagon started to miss then 1km later died on the M4 a few weeks back. NRMA diagnosed no spark, so had it towed home. I replaced the distributor with a brand new one and away it went, ran fine for a week (better than ever). Then it refused to start, an hour later started...

So, I've taken the rear bumper off, got the towbar bolted to the chassis rails and bumper back on. (Anyone else take note, buy a bottoming M10x1.25 tap and clean everything out while it's apart) I can't figure out where the part that bolts to the Bottom of the towbar and goes back underneath the...

Hey guy's. I've got a 2002 VRX fitted with Koni's all around from a Ralliart. The shocks are stuffed, so i'm now needing to replace. I've read a lot about the Sachs shocks as being the shock of choice. Is it worth getting the Koni adjustable shocks rekitted, or go the Sachs ?

Hi everyone, Just noticed this the other day. My left rear wheel makes a quite a loud grinding noise between 10-20kph, after that its almost non-existent. I do have quite wide wheels, and quite low on the back as well, although its been like this for well over a year, without issues. ...
