2007 Kia Carens [continued]

[jds]

Ano ba ang official schedule ng PMS is it every 5000 KM or every 3-months, or every 6-months?

TIA.

Guys,

Update on my PMS so far:

25T kms PMS at Kia Mandaluyong (Signet) Sept 14, 2010
Labor 1,360.00
Oil Filter 610.00
Cotton Rags 12.00
Engine Oil 1,200.00
VAT 392.04
Sandpaper 20.00
Mighty Bond 65.00
TOTAL 3,659.04

Tires were also rotated, all underchassis/ supension bolts re-tightened (nawala yung slight kalampag sa front-left portion), dome light switch repaired (thus the Mighty Bond)

After 2 years & 9 months, all in all, still very satisfied pa rin sa performance ng Carens. FC is at 8-9 km/l at city driving & 10-12 km/l at long drives.

Hope this help other owners on the PMS cost.

That depends on you as a car owner. If you seldom use your vehicle, a 6-month schedule should be reasonable. Regular use...I would think a 3-month schedule is ok. Heavy use meaning high mileage, 5000 km schedule.

I follow a 5000km PMS schedule which is around 6-7 months cycle.

Warranty po ba yung bearing sa front wheel.

Need to be replaced daw, 30KM pa lang carens namin...

Napansin kase namin, may parang umuugong kapag tumatakbo, nawawala na lang kapag 90kph or maybe 4th gear up.

congrats jajagarcia; i had same tire size as yours. pero yung bago ko eh pinalitan ko to 215 / 55 R17. so its closer to the original size. BTW, magkano naman ina-bot sa Foglamps, and where did u had it installed? i'm also interested in Rain gutter (where / how much), and would appreciate a close-up pix.

I had my foglomps fixed at Kia Pasig it costs 9900 minus 10% discount so its 8900, the installation took place for about a day. I bought the rain gutter at goldrich banawe, the complete set costs 900 pesos. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

The only way for you to find out is go to any casa and have it repaired under warranty coverage.

Thanks, pinatingnan kase ng dad ko, have to replace daw. Hindi daw po kasama sa warranty coverage. Our carens is 1 year and 3months old.

Masyado naman yatang mabilis masira yun, unlike sa mga japanese cars namin.

I see. Madalas ka bang mabaha? Ito lang ang nakikita kong dahilan para bumigay agad yung bearing e.

Thanks sa reply...

Hindi naman po eto binabaha, from Batangas kami. Hindi rin napapadaan eto sa baha.

*carchase, usually mga casa sasabihin nila part yan ng wear and tear ng sasakyan kaya hindi covered although mukhang meron talagang problema yung bearing imho. kaso, ganyan usually excuse nila.
