Thanks very much for your information. It seems I have same experience with my carens but nosmoke belching. Does your mileage increase after egr cleanup. My mileage now is ranging 7-8 km/l only.

Sir wiper, ganun pa rin ang fuel consumption ko, 7km/liter lng

ano po yung EGR?

[vinrem]

EGR or exhaust gas recirculation- An emission control method that involves recirculating exhaust gases from an engine back into the intake and combustion chambers. This lowers combustion temperatures and reduces NOx.

Hi guys,

My friend bought a 2.0D EX last June 2008. It was ok for a year until July 09 when it suddenly stopped in the middle of NLEX. The diagnosis was a broken turbo(caused daw by a broken air filter which entered the turbo). It was repaired after 3 weeks(tagal dumating ng replacement turbo). Tonight, tumirik nanaman sya infront of Trinoma. Mukhang may problema talaga Carens nya.

Anybody who has experienced this as well? Any pointers on what to do to prevent problems again?

Thanks

Hindi ko pa na-experience ang ganyan at parang imposibleng mangyari na ang piece ng air filter e papasok sa turbo unless na hinugasan yung filter na katulad ng filter ng Toyota Revo, at inilagay ng basa pa!!!.. Walang recommendation ang Kia na puwedeng hugasan ang ating air filter na katulad ng filter ng Revo.

Anyway, ang main cause ng pagkasira ng Turbo fins o pagkabasag nito e kapag pinapatay kaagad ang makina pagkatapos ng matagal na pag-gamit lalo na kung galing sa highway!! Kailangang i-cool down muna ang mga turbo-charged engine ng at least 5 minutes bago patayin ang makina at lumamig ang turbo-fins!! Nasa manual natin ito at puwede nyong i-research sa internet din. Kung napansin nyo yung mga turbo-charged na trucks; matagal bago pinapatay nung driver ang makina dahil dito.

Good day fellow Carens owners. Im thinking of having foglights installed in my Carens. How much does it cost if its installed by the casa and how much if its non-casa installed, labor and materials included?
Any input on such matter will be greatly appreciated.

don't they do this pag PMS? Or do i have to specify na i-check nila ang EGR? btw, FC ko talaga is 8km/liter pure city driving. EX/AT yung akin.

just had the Carens for 30T km service at Kia Pasay....paid about Php4.8K. that's with Change oil + 2 liters of oil for flushing (my own thing...haha) , oil filter, Air-filter (grabe mahal ang singil Php700), then just normal service....
parang nama-mahalan ako...

anyway, halos wala naman pinag-bago...maayos pa din naman ang hatak.

questions:
1) Rain Gutter: they charge Php1.8K. for the black opaque one.... i didn't get it because i think i'd like the transparent one. has anybody experience with both. doesn't it obstruct your view with the opaque one?

2) Rear Spoiler: they'r asking for Php10.5K, ang mahal. has anyone confirmed lately or bought lately with a more palatable price of around Php5-7K?

a bit off topic. but its an upcoming competitor to our rides. and have to admit, its not bad looking at all. may makaka-talo na Carens natin in the looks dept...
