Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

Hi just want a few second opinions. As an inexperienced wrench jockey i dont know whether to give up on this or not. Few notes. -Back left cylinder had a very beat up looking spark plug when taking it out -small metal shards/filings in intake manifold for same cylinder -I let the car warmup...

I can't find a switch, and 2 of the switch positions just turn the light On all the time.

my TW, 180k km, has suddenly started using coolant. The gauge is fine, it drives beautifully, no obvious leaks on the ground, no milkshake on the dipstick or visible thru the oil filler cap. I put a new radiator cap on about year ago, so that's probably OK. No damp spot on the passenger side floor....

in the middle of driving. Alternator giving low output?

I am puzzled that there are 2 different Monroe shock absorbers for the rear on wagons - depending on model - unlike the front (all bodies) & the rear on sedans. For the front, Monroe seem to show part no 35-0534/5 (right & left) for all models, sedan & wagon. For the rear on sedans the part no...

Hi Guys. My son has a 2005 TW Magna. The green security light on the dash used to go on every time the car was locked. Now it only goes on every now and then. Everything seems to work ok. The car starts ok. The door lock themselves if you don't lock them. Any one know what the issue could...

Hey all. I thought I would throw it up here as this issue has me on the royal runaround for what is causing this massive headache. I have been chasing it for months. Car: 2003 TJ2 magna executive Symptoms: Hard starts (crank 5 seconds, stop, immediately recrank 3 seconds and it starts...

To stop my son using mine. Needs to have a straight body. I can do timing belt. What is out there? Regards

Hi everyone, I am in the midst of doing a 6G75 conversion. I noticed that my original 6G74's exhaust valve stems are covered in white powdery looking stuff. The 6G75 though is black. I have done some google research and either: 1. This is normal 2. The engine is running lean

and do they normally destroy the crank,shaft in the process?

Today my TW when going uphill behaves as though the ignition was being turned on and off. It's a dual fuel car and does the same on petrol and gas. Any advice would be appreciated.

Just a bit of feedback. Did the timing belt, tensioner, Needed a new engine mount front driver side Rear muffler was leaking at the front weld. Rear pipe and muffler renewed Both rocker covers removed, PCV cleaned, Valve lifter gear gone over and checked All the spark plug seals were rock...

Hi guys, Just wondering on the auto 5 speed transmission, which is the to and from lines going to the radiator cooler? I started the engine without those lines connected and some ATF was spitting out from the supposed "from cooler" line according to the manual for the F5A51 transmission...

Whats the difference in MAF numbers ie oem magna 338 compared to a 738 ... is there a reference list

Hi everyone, Just wondering, in a 3rd gen auto, would it be easier to replace the engine and transmission as whole, or if it would be easier to remove the engine without the transmission.

How do you access the handbrake mechanism on a TL wagon? The external lever has come off, I pulled the rear rotor off in an attempt to have a look, however access isn't very good. Does the wheel hub need come off to put on another mechanism? :think:

G'day :) Recently inherited an Ei Verada, front wheel drive wagon. Is this the correct forum for Ei questions? Wikipedia seems to think it's more related to the TR/TS range:

Hi all, the drivers door window regulator is playing up on my KL Verada, moving it up it stops in about 3 or 4 spots, I took the regulator out and connected the power to it, it would go up and down fine but when I applied some pressure with my hand it would stop in the 3 or so spots as it did when...
