Sir, care to elaborate the symptoms of a busted turbo? How much did it cost you? Thanks ...

"LOSS OF POWER"
iyan po ang naramdaman ko na sintomas before, i was going downhill at a 40 kph then i just lost power, you may step on the accelarator but RPM just goes up till 1500 and just keep comin down...it cost me around 90k for everything...
just an advice to fellow carens owner, try cleaning the EGR every now and then, for, basing from my own investigation, thru the help of some KIA mechs from Baguio and MM, the problem started on the dirty EGR...

I just had my unit seviced Dec. 26 in Pasig then lost my turbocharger 28th of Dec... Sakit ng ulo po na malaki...

it cost me around 90k for everything...

[alwayz_yummy]

ask ko lang--- talaga bang maingay ang makina ng ng carens crdi sa unang start sa umaga? then unti-unting pipino habang lumalapit sa operating temp?

Sana nilinis din ang EGR mo sir...

sir seisman, at which interval are you proposing this EGR cleaning, every 20k kasabay ng fuel filter or mas maikling interval pa?

im nearing 60k and im planning to have the ff done in casa: 1) fuel filter replacement 2) EGR cleaning and 3) tune up. yung usual na change oil at oil filter, ill have it done sa local talyer lang

hi Guys, sorry tagal din ako di naka post dito, medyo busy kasi eh, anyway, i went to kia bacolod last week and meron dun isang carens na busted din ang turbo, yung owner daw kasi di nag cool down before turning off the engine, till now di pa daw dumating ang parts from korea, almost 1 month na yata naka standby dun.

Also, pina check ko din carens namin kasi may kalampag sa suspension, una they changed the stabilizer link kasi sira na, but after changing it, nandyan pa rin ang kalampag, upon checking again, yung stabilizer rubber bushing naman daw, now, im waiting for the parts, sabi daw maybe this week dumating.

i think that would be the best time to clean your EGR,say between 20-30 thousand kilometers, i forgot to mention that after a week that my turbo was changed, i had to change my cleaned EGR as well due to a leak naman....now my unit is as good as new in terms of power!

* sir hanren
wala po kasing spare na EGR when i was in baguio at kung meron sana ay definitely i would have changed it kasabay ng turbo...

* sir seymorebutts
if i were you better bring youre unit to a casa ing cleaning your EGR and let them do it,masyadong sensitive ang EGR at contact cleaner lang pwedeng panlinis
