2007 Kia Carens [continued]

[crichton]

yung lang ba pinaka stick ang nasira?? may nabibili na replacement para dyan.. mas maiksi pero mas matigas... alam ko 500 petot lang yun sa blade or concorde

yup, stick lang. nakita ko yang sinasabi mo bro, di ko kasi masyado magustuhan yung mga aftermarket kaya bili ako OEM.

Change air filter.
Case to case basis talaga ang carens natin, i experienced loss of power too a few months back. Inuna ko mag palit ng fuel filter, no effect. Then change air filter, ayun, lakas ng hatak uli.

Thanks brod! Siguro P450k will be a good asking price for my Carens. Anyone interested? :-)

Any repairs done, sir? Or any problems experienced?

Pa-PM nalang details sir. :-)

Thanks! Happy New Year.

Lahat naman na diesel engine ay di dapat naka idle for extended time, kaso problema dito sa metro manila ay traffic congestion kaya di maiwasan talaga. Ang talagang dapat ay good maintenance ng engine, kaya sa mga turbo charged diesel engine lagi linisin ang exhaust system kasama dyan ang egr at turbo charger.. hataw paminsan minsan sa highway para ma itulak ang soots out to exhaust pipe.. mali ang lagi na lang puko puko ang andar ng makina..HTH

kaya madami na 'kong Accent CRDi taxi drivers na kausap....mga once or twice per year ang EGR/Turbo cleaning nila....
banda Tagig daw, empleyado na ata ng taxi company...kaya mura lang service fee. hahanapin ko nga 'yun one of these days....

ser ilang taon na Carens nyo? i guess your best bet is to follow the Owners Manual. from what i recall though ang nasa Euro cycle ay around 160Tkm.... interval...kung Phil. condition siguro 100-120T km.... baka si ser Joshua_Ching pa lang ata nakakapag-palit ng T.Belt...

no experience din po abt. Kia Alabang, pero mukhang ok naman sila..i visited them one time to inquire about EGR cleaning...i just didn't go thru with it...

[valskie01]

They already cleaned the EGR last month, anyways, i have found an interesting forum re my problem, in the UK, they call it engine surging, dami palang may problem same as mine, here is the link:

carens engine surging - Kia Owners Club Forums - Page 3


Hope this will also help some of the owners who is also experiencing this kind of problem.

i experienced this same problem 2 years ago. after an ecu update at kia quirino ave. nawala na and never ng bumalik. still happy with the performance of my 2008 carens.

I also experienced this surging thing for the past few months pero nung nagpa update ako ng ecu last sept 2012 e totally nawala ito. Nalinis na egr and just last month, nilinis ko yung maf sensor. Ater i cleaned the maf, medyo gumaan ang takbo.

Binibirit birit ko pa rin ang carens ko and everytime i do this, lumalabas yung gray na usok. Suspect ko tuloy nanggagaling sa tambutso yung mga carbon deposits na nagpapaitim ng usok.

I decided to have my first "5k" pms and i have decided to have it done outside of casa for the first time. I already bought an oem oil filter (mobis) worth 650 pesos and 6 liters of Petron Rev x all terrian fully synthetic oil (2,820 pesos *470/liter sa isang autoparts seller vs 537/liter sa petron station mismo).

ser i never experienced (or noticed) this surging on our 6M/T Carens....saka kailangna din nga siguro every 2years siguro to clean the tail pipes with Joy Ultra+Water. hehe.

yan pa pala sabi sa akin ng SA ng kia, yung surging problem daw hindi dapat mangyari sa MT, problema kasi pag matagal na naitakbo, at least 1 hr, nawawala sya, hindi ko na ma-replicate pagdating sa casa

Hi guys. Where can i have regular maintenance like change oil outside of casa for my carens? Will gas station mechanics be knowledgable enough to do it? I plan to just buy the filters and oil outside. Casa service getting expensive although I'm still trying to maintain it as the unit is still under warranty. Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Ako sa gas station lang nearest sa akin, pero kung under warranty ka pa I suggest casa na muna, masilipan ka nila para ma-void warranty mo e.
Dapat medyo knowledgable ka din kung sa gas station ka mag parepair para maituro mo din problema or ma-guide mo sila.

Question lang sa fellow Carens owners, why do you think the resale value of Carens is much lower than a same speced Innova?

It's because of the typical Filipino+Toyota mindset.

Kaya nga sir, i wont sell my carens, papagamit ko na lang sa anak ko when he is old enough to drive and then bili na lang ako ng bago.

When I first decided to get my Carens way back 2007, I was thinking na "for keeps" na talaga, kaso, every 5 years meron kaming car plan na kailangan kong i-avail. Di naman pwede samin ang 2 cars kasi 1-car garage lang ako. Kawawa naman ung Carens kung iiwan ko lang sa kalye. Besides, yung mapagbe-bentahan ay ida-dagdag ko sa bibilhin ko ngayon na SUV.

Ung oldies ganon mag isip, nasa isip pa nila pag sinabing Kia ung Kia Pride lol. But Kia has already change drastically over the years.

Ganyan din mag-isip yung mga buy & sell, sasabihin sayo: " sir, mababa talaga ang resale value ng Kia"

kasi mas maliit ang carens... yung innova kasi katapat nya na halos mga vans at auv... unlike ng carens parang mataas lang ng konti ang level nyan sa sedan...

I don't think na mas maliit ang Carens compared to Innova, actually mas spacious pa nga ang Carens. Maliit lang tingnan kasi mas mababa ung height & ground clearance. Imagine nakargahan ko dati ito ng 5 adults + 5 golf bags + 5 garments bag + 5 pasalubong basket from Tagaytay. Na-impress nga mga officemate ko kasi comfortable yung seating positions nila.

Anyway, waiting pa rin ako sa mga direct buyer na alam ang characteristics & real value ng Carens.
