Forum: AWD Magna / Verada

I’m having problem with my 2003 Magna TL VR AWD (dual fuel) automatic transmission/gearbox. I bought it a year ago and it has been faultless. About four weeks ago when the car starts in the morning we can hear/feel a thud every time the gears moves into the first gear. But after 15 minutes or so...

Hi All, Where is the best place to fit an inline transmission oil filter. Note that I've got an auxiliary transmission cooler fitted. Cheers, Vlad

Any recommendations on brake pads for the AWD? Are the dealer supplied ones ok? Also, when replacing pads, should the rotors be machined at the same time?

Just wondering what fellow AWD owners are paying for a set of 235/45/18 - 95+ load rated tyres, and what brands. Thanks

Is the correct method for checking the power steering fluid Level to do it when its warm/hot and the engine is running? Thanks in advance.

I've recently acquired a 2003 TJ Magna AWD and my Dad's mechanic has been giving it the once over and fixing any issues that need to be done. It's been sitting around a lot for the past few months and hasn't had a battery in it apparently. It's now got one in it, but there's an error code (I...

Cahnged interior light globe. It sparked. Now no interior lights work and door locks dont work. Also now getting 4D on dash and car idling poorly.

After reading so many posts on lowering an AWD im still not really sure on what the outcome is on eyebrow height after installing Kings lows in an AWD so does it drop 10 to 12 mm more than a FWD or not, if i use Kings lows will it drop 30 or 40/42 mm, id hate to order the wrong spings and either...

Hey Guys, This is my first time posting on these forums, although I have come across them a few times in Google before. I was wondering whether anyone would be kind enough to give me some advice, regarding some issues that I am currently experiencing with my Magna. Whilst I know quite a bit...

Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone has got a set of Ralliart/380(same?) cams in their AWD's? If so, was there much improvment? I've got a SKR tune booked in a few weeks and quickly trying to decide if its worth trying to get cams done before hand or if at all? I have read that some...

Evening all, Ill admit im not a Magna owner but i do like them. My Mrs drove a friends TJ Magna and fell in love so she is currently on the hunt for one and for some reason she wants the AWD version. We have found a 2002 AWD Magna with 160,000kms for $4k and will hopefully be viewing the car...

Hmm, i've been monitoring the ATF every 2 weeks since the power flush. Level remains constant, but i notice a slight colour to the fluid right at the bottom of the stick when first pulling it out. Looks like grey streaky material suspended in the oil. Wiping on a clean cloth and it comes away...

Hi all, I know the AWD models use the "bigger" brake rotors in the front, 294 mm But, looking into it now. The catalogues label the AWD as TJII - 02/2003 - onwards as having the 294 mm setup I'm looking to replace the rotors on a 2002, series 1 AWD.. So I assume these are the same? Also,...

I thought I had seen something about this somewhere on the forum but I can't locate it now. I'd like to know if the standard front struts of my Verada KW AWD are interchangeable with the struts from a FWD model. Also is it true that the shocks from a VR-X are better (stiffer) than those of...

The KH looks to be needing some new tyres shortly and I'm thinking of moving the tyres off the AWD over onto the KH. Are there any issues with doing that? I put the Yokohama Cdrive2's on the AWD about 15000k's ago based on the excellent experience I've had with the Cdrives over the years on the...

I'm curious about the broken wave spring issue as discussed here. Let's see if we can get some stats from those who have experienced this. Poll open to all gens and not just AWD Please post your comments in the other thread. fixed poll. You can vote more than once if applicable. Choose...

About a month ago I noticed an intermiitant single knock coming from under the car. It wasn't very frequent at that time but lately has been much more prevalent. It could happen at any time, accelerating, gear changing, braking, turning or just cruising. I took it to a local mechanic I've...

Well we all know the answer to that, they should have been but never were......until today We have just taken the first AWD Manual Magna for its first drive Result..... Well of course it does not go as hard as a FWD Manual BUT while all the FWD's are sitting there trying to find traction...
