Balik na naman pala tayo ngayon. Kahapon e may notice ang Google na banned ang site nila dahil pinanggagalingan daw ng mga Trojan at worm virus. Siguro nagawa na ng Tsikot.com kaya puwede na naman tayong mag-post.

Siguro nga totoo kasi super bagal ang Tsikot.com nuon. Saka lagi na lang akong may Trojan at Worm na nahuhuli ng Virus protector ko. Dagdag pa doon ang mga Spyware na katakot-takot..siguro merong mga 20-30 spyware ang nahuhuli ng computer ko lagi.

Anyway, tanong ko nung last time kung merong gumagamit dito ng bio-diesel at kung ano ang effect nito sa ating CRDI?

[vinrem]

ask ko lang kung titipid pa sa crudo yung carens ko lx a/t 1st full tank and ang fc nya is 7km/liter. May nabasa kasi ako na 10km/liter ang fc nya, purely city driving ako and bihirang matrapik (twice lang ako natrapik sa edsa and hindi naman grabe). Yan ba talaga average fc ng carens? tnx

Same lang tayo ng FC, im also getting 7km/li on my carens lx a/t, normal lang daw yung for pure city driving, on highway, im getting 12km/li

I think I came across this issue in the user's manual. I'll try to check..

[alagad]

Yung official na claim nila sa Canada (Rondo ang model name nya doon) ay 9km/L city driving (Canada).

Sa akin mga 8.5 to 9.5 km/L. LX a/t city driving(banayad na banayad ang driving).
Powerful ang Carens pero mukhang malakas ang kunsumo.
Ang ini-expect ko dail crdi and vgt eh mga 10-11 km/L city driving.

I get 8 - 9 km/L on my Carens A/T.... although, my worst FC was 7km/L

powerful talaga carens ginamit ko kasi innova namin kagabi nakakapanibago akala ko ng naka handbrake kasi medyo makupad. sarap talaga gamitin ng carens enjoy talaga ako.

[itlog na pula]

alan, malakas talaga. nag carpool ako kahapon from makati to sta. rosa, halos punta kami, 6 peeps. kayang kaya niya.

good day to everyone. mine is carens m/t. i average 9.4 km/l. ang driving style ko during that time is to shift to a higher gear as soon as possible, as in shifting from 3rd gear to 6th gear once the engine seems to be ready for the gear change. that was the usuall advise that you will get from everyone regarding reducing fuel consumption.

I read in one of the post here about driving normally,as in a bit slower than "hataw" and using the 5th gear more than using the 6th gear in city driving. I guess that suggestion is very good, because as of now i have seen some improvement. Halos pantay na needle movement ng carens ko and ng innova d4d ko.

before I use to see the carens fuel needle at 1/2 line pag nasa 200km distance travelled. Now its way above the 1/2 line, halos pareho sila ng movement ng innova ko. I am so glad to see this improvement, hopefully on my neft fill up, i will also be posting a 10.4 ++ kms/ liter.

just for record, i was able to register a 23km/li with carens. Long drive to tagaytay, 4 adults including passenger, 2 kids. average of 80km/h speed using the coastal road in going and south super highway coming back to manila.

Again to the one who posted that driving style, thank you very much. we can now really rellish that powerful carens engine.

master chief, I am also interested with a k and N filter. Paki post naman when your able to get one. Thank you.

[icemancm]

May available K&N Filter for the KIA RONDO sa website ng K&N, pero I think US spec ito, only available engine types are 2.4L and 2.7L, the part number is 33-2934, I think pang gas engine din to kase bihrang bihira ang Diesel engine sa US.. http://www.knfilters.com/search/appsearch.aspx

IF anybody knows where we can get the K&N filter for the Carens, kindly post here. Thank You...

[icemancm]

I also found this site... available Air Filters for the RONDO, I just don't know kung pwede yan sa CRDI...

Guys, tanong ko lang, when u are inside your carens and the a/c is turned on, nararamdaman nyo ba na nag on/off ang compressor??? what i mean is d bah when the compressor umaandar...tumataas din ang rpm then pag nag o-off sya bumababa din ang rpm...kasi sa akin constant eh..dont know if may problema ito or is it normal lang???

Hindi ko rin nararamdaman or napapansin. Will be more observant.

Ako rin hindi ko napapansin yon but I can feel a slight increase in the rpm whenever I turn the steering wheel to the sides during idle.

Sa wakas nakuha ko din ang Caren ko CRDI EX AT, Volcanic Red. Tagal din ng processing - inabot ng 22 days, pero okay lang kasi mababa ang interest na nakuha ko, 5.7% per annum at 13.6% over the life of the loan (60 months). Kunan ko ng pic at post dito pag medyo maaraw na. Nakuha ko nung "old" price pa na P1.15, tapos tumaas ng P1.21, tapos sabi tataas pa daw ng P1.3, pero di naman natuloy. Siguro dami ng umatras na prospective buyers.

Ihahataw ko na mamaya sa NLEX at SCTEX, papuntang Tarlac City. Matignan nga kung ano ang performance nito. I'll let you know sa mga observation ko. Di ko pa kasi nada-drive dahil si Kumander ang nagbinyag, he he he... ako yung luma kong Civic ang dnrayb ko pabalik ng bahay.

[vinrem]

I forgot to ask this when i have my 5k pms last May eh, oh well, pag uwi ko na lang sa sept ko tatanungin.

BTW, ano na ang nangyari sa eb???tuloy ba mamaya or bukas???hay pag nasa manila lang sana ako, i will surely attend, hmmm....tagal ko nang di nakikita dito si sir mqavila ah, paging sir mqavila....attend ka ba sa eb???

Sir, if ever i want to buy one, can you deliver it to Bacolod and already painted in black??? and also dinidikit lang ba ito or i have to screw it sa body ng carens??? i have been looking for this rear spoiler but maybe i have to wait muna for a few month kasi medyo crisis pa eh

Hi Vinrem,
Medyo di ko pa alam paano kinakabit kasi pending pa yung sakin eh. I post ko dito once makabit na yung spoiler ko. Ask ko din sa dealer if pwede i deliver or baka padaanin sa local dealer nyo dyan... i'll ask.

I'm regularly having 13-15km/l, mixed city/hway. Byahe ko araw2 is 90km (back and fort) gen trias via gma to calamba on a carpool with 4-7 adults. I have a 225/55/17 dunlop lemans tire inflated with 32psi pressure and the driving style mentioned above
