The Magna, produced for the model years 1990 through 1995, was a significant offering in the mid-size sedan market, particularly within Australia and select Asian regions. This generation, often associated with the TH chassis code, was locally manufactured in South Australia and aimed to provide a spacious and comfortable family vehicle. It was distinguished by its front-wheel-drive platform, a smooth ride quality, and a generally reliable reputation, often powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine. The Magna competed directly with prominent models of its era, offering a blend of Japanese engineering with an emphasis on practicality and comfort for its intended users. This comprehensive workshop service repair manual, presented in English, covers a wide array of essential information for maintaining and repairing the Magna. Its scope includes detailed procedures for powertrain, chassis, electrical systems, and body components. Owners and technicians will find valuable guidance on routine maintenance, complex repair procedures, diagnostic troubleshooting, and critical technical specifications. The manual delves into engine overhauls, transmission rebuilds, suspension and steering repairs, brake system servicing, and electrical system diagnostics, providing factory-level detail to ensure the vehicle remains in optimal condition.
