2007 Kia Carens [ARCHIVE]

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...

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.

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 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.

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
