The V3000 designation strongly suggests a V6 engine, most commonly the 3.0L 6A13. Performance Horsepower Torque: Specific figures vary by engine and year, but 6A12 (2.5L V6) typically produced around 170-180 hp, and 6A13 (3.0L V6) around 190-210 hp. Torque figures would be commensurate with displacement and tuning. Fuel System Fuel Delivery: Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) Engine Management Ignition System: Distributorless Ignition System (DIS) or Distributor type ignition, depending on exact engine variant. Likely managed by an ECU (Engine Control Unit). 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: Likely an automatic transmission for most Magna Verada Sigma V3000 models. Specific transmission model numbers would be detailed in the manual (e.g., F4A51, W4A51). Optional Manual Transmission: Manual transmissions may have been available on some variants, though less common for higher trims like Verada/Sigma. Features Shift Modes: Sport/Normal modes may be present on automatic transmissions. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Body Styles: Sedan, possibly Wagon variants depending on market and specific model designation (e.g., Wagon was available in the Magna line). Weights Curb Weight: Varies significantly by engine and specification, typically ranging from 1450 kg to 1650 kg. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Ancap Rating: ANCAP ratings for this generation vary, typically around 3-4 stars for frontal impact. Specific year and model variants would need to be checked. Active Features Braking Systems: Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) standard on most higher trim models. Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) may be present. Passive Features Airbags: Driver and front passenger airbags standard. Side airbags may be optional on some higher-spec models. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Audio System: Factory fitted radio/cassette or CD player with AM/FM tuner. Higher trims may feature premium sound systems with multiple speakers. Driver Assistance Cruise Control: Electronic cruise control system standard on most Verada and Sigma models. Connectivity Remote Central Locking: Remote central locking and keyless entry systems were available on higher trim levels. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Oil Change Interval: Typically 7,500 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, using API SJ/SL rated oil. Check manual for specific oil viscosity grade (e.g., 10W-30, 5W-30). Timing Belt Replacement: For 6A1 series V6 engines, timing belt replacement is critical, usually recommended around 100,000 km or 5 years. Failure can lead to severe engine damage. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Capacity: Approximately 4.0 - 4.5 litres for V6 engines with filter change. Specifics in manual. Coolant Type: Ethylene glycol based coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Check for Mopar or equivalent specified coolant type. Transmission Fluid Type: Dexron III or equivalent ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid). Check manual for precise specification. Known Issues Common Failures: Possible issues include worn suspension components (bushings, ball joints), minor oil leaks from rocker cover gaskets, and potential transmission issues in higher mileage vehicles. Some models may experience minor electrical gremlins related to body control modules or door lock actuators. Paint Delamination: Certain colour codes may be prone to clear coat failure or paint delamination over time, particularly on horizontal surfaces exposed to UV...
