hi all

Does a 1995 magna TS have a timing belt or chain?

I will drive my car for a long distance travel soon

before that i want check my car and replacement some parts if necessary

besides timing belt(or chain)，brake disk and pad、spark plug

Is there anything else I should do?

v6 belt 4cyl chain
if you do the brake,s change the brake fuild as well

Probably do the oil and coolant while you are at it. Depends what is due.

2.6L four cylinder has chain - never needs replacing - unless they rattle badly, which they can do if the km is 200,000 km or higher.
3.0L V6 has belt, to be replaced every 5 years or 100,000 km, whichever is sooner.

Thanks for your answer:facejump:

I already checked coolant system and change new engine oil(with filter)

Ps: this time when I change engine oil,there are some oil on the oil tank bottom
it never happened before,check oil level is still good...I don't know why..

This weekend I will replacement brake(disk & pad)and the other two belts,spark plugs(NGK BP6E?)

Hope everything will be fine,and I can get a good travel memory in australia!

Shepparton>barossa vally>Alice spring>Darwin>Cairns>Brisbane>Sydney

More then 10,000km travel , before I fly back my country,

I will take many photos for record this beautiful country and very very friendly people

Thanks every one who help me in this forum

Sounds like a nice big journey ahead!

How many KM has the car travelled? Is it a 4 cylinder or a V6?

It might be worth double checking the condition of the cooling system hoses including the heater hoses. Maybe also change the transmission oil (is it manual or auto?)

The oil on the "oil tank bottom" (sump) might be a leak from the sump gasket, just keep a good eye on it or replace it if that's where the leak is, should be a cheap fix.

that a great trip
im guessing your flyimg out from sydney have you got someone to buy your car when you fly out

my car is TS GLX ... 4cylinder carburettor engine with manual gear box

when i bought this car odometer is 123,000，now ~ 145,800 (14 month)

i love this car,engine still running smooth,maybe not powerful but enough

only worry about in the morning start engine i heard some sound like metal knock ...

sump? i think ~ i need booking mechanic for repair it ... hope it is a cheap fix =.="

i will say its worth the trip to melbourne to get your work done at mitsfix (madmagna)
look up mitsfix he will do the job quicker and better then most macanics around

that a great trip

Let me know when you want to sell it.

I'm in sydney and depending on my circumstances at the time, might buy it.

Metal knock on cold startup.. might be something simple, check the oil level. Maybe try doing an oil + filter change with a different oil
