Hello everyone, Magna exec v6 TJ wagon engine 6G72M I am a newbie at posting as well as working on my Mitsy,i would appreciate any tips on the following how to remove the rubber hose from the metal part of the high pressure hose ? Or could I use the hose that goes into the back of the...

I'm curious is there any major issues or problems with those models..i just spent all day looking at magna prices in SA & VIC and there are many for $1000 or less.. To me that seems under valued. I looked at each advert and they seem to be in decent shape so that's why i ask was there some issues...

Hi All I have a dual fuel TW with 190K. A few weeks ago started erratic idle at cold when operating on petrol and stalled once when warm at lights take off. Runs OK on LPG but now check engine light comes on after about 15 minutes running on LPG. I did a code check by earthing pin 1 on the...

Hello everyone, My 2003 TL Solara has a 3.5L V6 Auto (6G74, methinks) that takes "91 RON min" fuel according to the manual. It's been my experience with a few other cars that you can put higher octane fuel into the tank, and the timing will automatically adjust (thanks to feedback from the...

Hi Guys, Have a TH magna which has done 314k, but had a new factory short block at 100k, with all the original heads, accessories fitted to the short block. Have had oil leaks and done all the usual things to fix them:- * Rocker cover gaskets/tube seals * Front head blanking plate o-ring...

Running a flush machine on a ‘magna’ transmission would not be advisable as the oil filter can not be changed during the service. The small components that would be forced and dislodged by a trans flush machine will get stuck in the filter, as the filter does it’s job. You can essentially remove...

Was quoted about $60 for genuine trans fluid or $275 for a machine flush with compatible fluid. I don't mind doing work myself but I'm of.the understanding that a significant quantity of old fluid remains if not using a proper flush machine - and my fluid is pretty far gone, not even brown it's...

Hey guys, My drivers side headlight has been working intermitently for hte last year (I don't drive much at night). Anyway, I had a look today - globe is fine, however the end of the wiring loom looks partially melted....any idea what this is called and where i can order another one? Happy to...

Hey hope someone is able to help. I have TJ vrx every time I turn to the left or right with speed {example going on to a off/on ramp at about 80ks that starts to go into a sharp bend the car feels like its swaying almost like wobbling it feels like the rear end is about to let go. Its been like...

Have 2001 KJ verada & recently the demist function doesn’t work on the windscreen. Only blows air on face level no matter what you select. Pain in the bum with all the cold mornings. Any clues??

This is a strange one to me. I've checked all the door switches by manually pushing them in and the corresponding door light goes off, so they are functioning fine. However the door open symbol on the dash remains on. And I have interior LED floor lights hooked up to the same circuit so the whole...

Before I start this can anyone tell me if you can remove the coil without removing the distributor?? Thanks Gary

Hi Can someone tell me the location of the fuel pump relay in a TJ. My car died the other day as I was driving along, felt like it was running out of petrol I have replaced the pump and filter but still no joy also cant hear any noise from the pump when I turn the ignition on so I am wondering...

Hi, Do 380 lifters fit the 6G74? And if so are they any better of a design or still the same part number?

I've seen a car with an unusual; colour that changes with the light.. it's a kind of gunmetal base colour with a oily / rainbow effect in it can yo hlp? Thanks all

Hi Magna folk, I have a Magna TE with a broken clip that holds the wiper arm linkages. I have tried ebay, and my local wreckers, but no luck. Does anyone one know where I can get these from? Thanks, Paul

and sometimes on turning off the engine; I'm thinking engine mounts. The RHS was replaced about 3 yrs ago. How do I check the LHS mount? This is a TW FWD with 175k on the clock. thanks

The coil in the TE is failing again, and while talking to dad, he said that his triton was starting to exhibit similar symptoms. I told him it was the coil, and the best move is to replace the whole dizzy. Realizing that it would be on the back of the head against the firewall, I thought we should...

Car hit a bolt sticking out of a bridge and ripped a hole in the sump. The car is a 2002 KJ2 GTVi. Is there any difference in the sump with the GTVi engines or just simply take one from a wrecked magna and change it over?

Does anyone have an idea what size and thread type these are. I will be replacing coolant soon and would like to replace these with new ones. My dealer doesn't have them, and they need to come from Japan so, I was hoping to get some from a hydraulic supplier. Many thanks...
