The Mitsubishi Magna i stands as a beloved icon in New Zealand's automotive landscape, renowned for its spacious interior and smooth riding experience. In this guide, we provide essential insights for Magna i owners to ensure their vehicles remain in peak condition, ready for every adventure ahead. Whether you're navigating the urban hustle or exploring the scenic countryside, keeping your Magna i healthy is key.
Some owners of the Mitsubishi Magna i have reported experiencing issues such as automatic transmission problems (slipping), engine oil leaks, and power steering pump failure. These issues tend to appear around 150,000-250,000 km. Regular maintenance can help identify and address potential problems early on.
When taking your Mitsubishi Magna i for a Warrant of Fitness (WOF) inspection, be aware that inspectors often pay close attention to the condition of the lower ball joints and any rust present around the windscreen.
Regular maintenance is crucial for extending the lifespan of your Mitsubishi Magna i, especially as it approaches the 150,000-250,000 km mark where some common issues may arise. Owners often report automatic transmission slipping, engine oil leaks, and power steering pump failures if not addressed promptly. Routine check-ups and proactive replacement of key components can mitigate these risks.
Here are some essential maintenance items to keep in mind:
• Cooling System: Attention to the water pump, thermostat, and radiator is vital around the 150,000 km mark. If these components show wear or failure, it can lead to overheating—so don’t hesitate to inspect or replace them. [Explore our Cooling section here: /shop/cooling]
