Here is a little write up I did a while ago. Most of the Mitsubishi EFI engines, just like most fuel injected engines, have a problem in regards to oil and sludge build up at the throttle body. This is caused from the breather tube in the induction pipe breathing oily vapour. This will cause a...
For all of those who want to do the Twin Pot brake conversion..... What you will need 1. Twin pot calipers from a 2nd gen 2. Either Machined rotors or new ones (Preferred) 3. New pads for the twin pots 4. New brake hoses (will cover this later) 5. Some basic knowledge of what you are doing...
Welcome. This will be the thread that contains all the simple and not so simple fixes or mods we all once didnt know how to do. It will contain no spam. Not no spam like in the "post your ride" thread but no spam. All of this information will be targeted to the 2nd gen magna/verada models, which...
First some background. The vehicle is a 1993 TR model Magna executive V6 3.0L EFI with 200K+ on the clock. Thought about sending it to the wreckers but with the virus depleting good second hand cars I’m going to have to hang on for a while. Symptoms A reasonably large blue puff of smoke at...
Seems to be under hard acceleration - the engine seems to bog down. Checked and cleaned points today - no improvement Gave it new plugs a couple of thousand kms ago. Up to date with oil and coolant. What r my next ez diy options/checks....? ...there's a fuel pressure regulator on the end of...
hey guys i was looking under the bonnet today and was having a look at the plates and it says OPTIONS E49 D78 V20. Does anyone know what these codes stand for? thanks
took the wheel off and got under and had a look yesterday. CV Joint boot is gone - already sourced a split boot to replace it - although I'm wondering if the boot's been split for some time and the CV is actually the thing that "rattles". The sound is not very prominent and more so on small...
Hey all, So the existing Magna Verada 2nd generation Facebook group seemed to come to a grinding halt by the admin who archived the page without even offering to anyone else to take over, so I have created a replacement group for all you 2nd gen fans out there, to continue on with creating a...
Hi all, is anyone aware of a scan-tool or code-reader to suit the 1994 TS Magna? Previously, I was able to use the great Forscan software and a cheap eBay OBD->USB adapter on each of my Falcons. Is there a similar setup available to suit the Magna? Cheers.
Hi Guys I recently lost some files in a computer crash and my workshop TS Magna repair manual in PDF format that I originally downloaded off this site was one of my losses. I cannot find this file any where. Would appreciate help.:(
Hey guys, I not long ago picked up a 1995 Diamante 30R-SE wagon - built in South Australia, technically it's a KS Verada but it an export model designated K45/F07W. It is the top of the line 30R-SE so it has the Bosch 4 channel ABS with the larger twin pots up front and vented rotors at the...
Hi, tried searching forum but couldn't find much. Need to replace my harmonic balancer pulley which has separated at the pulley. Got old one off cos it's in 2 bits. Can't get new one on though. Have undone pass side engine mount but engine still not low enough. Would love any tips how best to do...
G'day guys and gals. I'm onto my 3rd Magna and need a bit of guidance. 206xxxkm's, runs like an absolute dream. It has a really mild rough idle when at traffic lights etc, and I can't find what's causing it. Even had my mechanic look it over and i recreated the issue and he says it's normal. Now...
Hi guys, Just sold my KL GTVi over the weekend and I’m already having withdrawals. Bought a 2017 Aurion Sportivo a couple of months ago which is an awesome car, but I want something to fill my time and work on (as the Toyota is taken care of by the dealer and won’t break lol) I was thinkin...
Easy to replace? Do I have to take off the Plenum chamber to get to em? Cheers. Clarky.
hey all, I'm after some advice for my Verada's engine, sorry if any of these are silly, but I'd rather ask a few stupid questions than hurt my engine. any advice or ideas are much appreciated, thanks. I have noticed the lower timing cover has been chewed up by the crank pulley and timing belt,...
Hi all, I'm a bit late to the party having only bought my first Magna a year ago. It's now become a bit of a project to fix it each weekend. :happy: It's a 1994 TS Magna sedan. Currently has 173,000kms on the clock. Runs great. Anyway, I spotted this item sitting on the firewall around about...
Hi all, Magna TS 3.0 1994 SE Long story, so grab a beer sit back and have a laugh or a cringe... Many many moons ago when petrol was 65c i paid for a sports exhaust and had the injectors cleaned out properly (Saw the before and after spray shots and there was a difference). It ran great and...
Hi, I have never worked on my magna 3.0L V6 before but I need to as I have finally isolated a frustating coolant loss to the engine water pipe on the back of the water pump. It doesn't leak from the front of the pump but is showing a rusty stain from the valley at the rear of the water pump and...
Hey all, I was hoping to get some advice on my Verada's annoying habit of its starter going out of alignment with the ring gear. It starts off fine but after 2-3 starts it just bounces off the ring gear and free wheels without engaging, so I get under and readjust it, I make sure the bolts are...
After thinking that I've somehow fixed the ticking noise a number of times and never really knowing why I came across a page that said to rev from idle in neutral slowly to 3000 rpm over 15 secs and then letting it drop back to idle and keeping it there for 15 secs and repeating that cycle (up to...
Hi, The radiator overflow bottle cap has deteriorated in my '92 Verada, both the inlet and outlet tubes are cracked on the top of cap at the bends where they enter the bottle. Of course, because the inlet tube is no longer intact there is no sucking the ejected coolant back in to the radiator. ...
Hi. I haven't been on for quite a while. Still driving the old beast at 450,000 ks now (magna ts 6 cyl auto). Original motor and auto box. I've got a long drive coming up and yesterday the oil pressure light came on. I cleaned/swapped the sensor, changed oil and filter and its now flickering on...
