Form 52-109FT2
             Certification of Interim Filings during Transition Period


I, Manfred Gingl, Chief Executive Officer of Tesma International Inc.,
certify that:

   1.  I have reviewed the interim filings (as this term is defined in
       Multilateral Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers'
       Annual and Interim Filings) of Tesma International Inc., (the issuer)
       for the interim period ending June 30, 2004;

   2.  Based on my knowledge, the interim filings do not contain any untrue
       statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
       to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading
       in light of the circumstances under which it was made, with respect to
       the period covered by the interim filings; and

   3.  Based on my knowledge, the interim financial statements together with
       the other financial information included in the interim filings fairly
       present in all material respects the financial condition, results of
       operations and cash flows of the issuer, as of the date and for the
       periods presented in the interim filings.

DATE:     August 11, 2004
