2007 Kia Carens [continued]

[carchase]

*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.

Ganyan nga lagi excuses nila.

Pati yung mga 4 doors may problem, ang ingay ng open close. Tapos yung power window sa driver side di minsan gumagana. Naaayos naman nila, pero bumabalik-balik ang ganitong problem.

Hey guys, what's up? I haven't been on this forum for so long!! Didn't even know we have a new thread! heheheh...

I have a question... I am a moron when it comes to interpreting tire sizes.... the stock tires of the Carens EX is 205/60R16. What does that mean exactly? All I know is that R16 refers to the rim size but I'm lost with respect to 205 and 60. Also, what will happen if I change my tires to something like 215/65R16? In layman terms po... Sasayad ba? Will my odometer be inaccurate already? How will the ride change?

I'm asking these because I'm due for a tire change but for some reason, the stock size of 205/60R16 is very hard to find. So, some dealers are suggesting that I use 215/65R16. I don't want to simply agree to it until I understand the effects of the change. Thanks in advance!

In layman's term:

205 to 215 = lalapad sya so pwedeng sumayad sa fender
60 to 65 - tataas sya

Pero in terms of exact measurement, kelangan ma try muna kasi di naman ganun kalaki yung difference so i think baka swak pa rin.

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.

Ang wheel bearing kapag sira na e tuloy-tuloy ang ingay at di tumitigil kahit na anong speed. Magsisimulang umingay pag umandar na ang gulong at tumitinis ang tunog kapag tumatakbo ka ng pabilis ng pabilis.

Masyadong pre-mature ang wear-out ng wheel bearing mo kung yun nga ang sira. Ibig sabihin nun e kulang ang grasa ng bearing, either magmula nung i-assemble ito o nung i-service at ni-repack ang wheel bearing kasama ng pag-service sa brakes.

Baka naman hindi bearing kung hindi improper wheel balance ang diperensiya? Kasi ang improper wheel balance a uugong din ang gulong at minsan mawawala sa certain speed ang tunog.

*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.

Ang bearing e hindi kaagad-agad nasisira at karaniwan e mahigit 80K km muna ang tinatakbo ng sasakyan bago ito magsimulang bumigay. Karaniwan nga ng ibang sasakyan e lagpas pa sa 100K ang milyahe bago ito palitan, basta't alaga lang sa grease re-packing. Pero parte ito ng natural-wear and tear na mga parte, kasama ng spark plugs (sa gasoline engine), filters (air, fuel, AC, etc.), belts, gulong pagkatapos ng warranty, etc.

Karaniwang dahilan ng maagang pagkasira ng bearing e ang kakulangan ng grasa sa pagkaka-assemble nito (kung bago!), at sa hindi tamang pagre-repack ng bearing pagkatapos ng service.

Okay lang ang ganyang size at di masyado ang itataas (from 60 to 65), at ilalapad (from 205 to 215). Balak ko ding palitan ng 65 ang tire ko para tumaas dahil lagi na lang akong sumasayad at marami na akong gasgas sa ilalim ng Carens ko, pero di naman masama..

Sir MQ yun first number refers to the width of the wheel and the second number refers to the thickness of the wheel with respect to the width of the wheel. So ang ibig sabihin niyan e kung ilalagay mo ang 215/65/16 na gulong e mas mataas siya kesa sa 205/65 na gulong kasi ang basis ng 65 mo e ay yun 205 or 215. Hindi ko sure kung sasayad siya or hindi. better go to a tire shop and i fit mo siya sa car mo. try mo sa banawe kay ben's ok ififit naman muna nila yan e tapos pwede mo din kapain sa loob kung sasayad or hindi. Sa harap mo din ipatry yun gulong mo.

Yup malamng nag give in na yun battery mo. Kahit anong battery naman ok lang e as long as macheck mo yun AH rating e. yun original kasi from kasa napakamahal. Imagine na ichacharge nila sa akin ng 10k+++ YUN battery nila na rocket. 90mAH yata yun stock natin na battery e. Pero max na nakita ko na hindi reverse polarity is 85mAH kaya yun ang nilagay ko when I changed my battery.

Thanks sir shumi, bukas ko pa mapapalitan ang battery kasi close ang mga battery shops sa amin, anyway, im planning to get yung brand na outlast, dont know if ok ito hehehehe so you mean that i need to check kung merong 90mAH or 85mAH na battery?

Yup check mo na lang ang amp reading ng current battery mo tapos yun pinakamalapit na amp na pwede mo mabili or same amp reading.
