sir Yapoy nung nagtanong ako sa Kia Pampanga re: EGR cleaning labor cost, ang sabi eh 1,200 (may promo pa na 20% discount sa labor until Aug 31 2011) pero pwede din daw i DIY. Di naman na elaborate.

For the past month medyo humina ng konti ang hatak ng Carens ko. 4 days ago while on a slow climb along Session road here in Baguio, I suddenly changed gear from 2nd to 1st and floored the pedal because I needed to overtake. From the right side view mirror, I noticed a ball of thick black smoke that came out of the tailpipe. Then I noticed a slight improvement in the engine power. Parang hindi na sakal yung takbo. Parang nakahinga ng maluwag yung Carens. Prior to this, wala namang gaanong black smoke sa exhaust. I don't know if this incident has something to do with getting rid of soot/carbon deposits from the EGR.

On the next day and on the same road, I made the same maneuver. But this time, I observed that instead of thick black smoke, konting gray smoke na lang ang lumabas and the performance improved further. Naging mas tahimik na rin ang engine.

hello, is any find where we can buy the Rear Bumper guide... tnx

[saluyet]

good rainy day mag sirs. saw an ad in philippine star today. yung carens lx is offered at 895k while the ex variant is 949k. is this just a promo, or has columbian really reduced the price of the carens? anyone in the know please confirm?

That's the new SRP of the Carens and not just a promo. However, CAC will be doing some cost cutting measures as the Carens will now have one less airbag and just a 1-DIN stereo.

CAC with its new management team it appears has decided to rationalize prices across the board in order to become more competitive.

[joshua_ching]

Kaya yan din ang lagi kong sinasabi dito sa Forum na kailangan nating ihirit sa highway (expressway) ang mga Carens natin. ako regular na hinihirit ang Carens natin sa Nlex at SCTex para maiwasan ang carbon buildup sa exhaust natin. Mababang klase kasi ang diesel na binebenta dito sa Pinas di katulad sa Europe, kaya madaling mag-build up ang carbon. Ang problema e mataas ang sulphur-content ng diesel natin at ang solusyon lang dito e patakbuhin ng mabilis ang Carens para uminit ng husto ang engine at exhaust nito.

[alwayz_yummy]

ask ko lang, something technical-- anu code ng block ng crdi carens? may research lang ako..

[parakitoJDM]

Hi jds, thanks. Silipin ko nga bukas. btw yung sa akin ay RED LED. pagpinipindot ay umiilaw naman. Pero nawala sa programming ata sya, walang response talaga.

[Hanren]

Sir ParakitoJDM nice job.. will try that one too (at my own risk )

Thanks for posting the pictures

By the way, the alarm of my Carens is AVT and I still have the manual...

[bengmd]

Parakito JDM

Most likely it is not about re-programming, it seems we have the same alarm brand for our carens. The remote control is most probably busted already. Change the alarm module/box together with its remote control. If you have the spare remote control you can try it. If not, time to change. I had the same problem before, I change the alarm box with its accompanying remote control. So far so good.
Good luck.

[parakitoJDM]

ser Hanren,
makikisuyo naman , baka puede mo i-post yung pix (either take piktyur or Scan) yung pages ng Manual ng AVT alarm ?
salamat na marami..

to ser bengmd,
yung isang remote gumagana pa naman, so gusto ko lang may spare ako....
well ang worse case talaga is to have the whole thing replaced... pero sana i could avoid that route....

[parakitoJDM]

Guys n Gals, update ko lang...

after my exhaust system/pipes de carbonizing laki nabawas talaga yung black smoke coming out from the tail pipes...

however yung sluggish acceleration (esp. when engine is cold) and turbo boost seems to arrive
much later at 2500RPM instead of normal 1800RPM~ wasn't fixed....

so last Saturday Aug27, i decided to bring the car to the new Kia dealership (closest to my residence) in Chino Roces ave...(formerly known as Pasong Tamo ext) to have the car diagnosed .

then they said they have the fix for me....they immediately rolled out a new part being circulated by Kia CAC to all dealerships in time for service and - complaints like mine. they have new more robust SOLENOID Valve for the VGT.... i read the memo and agreed on the part replacement..... just had to wait around 45min. for the mechanic to be available and it was installed fairly quickly (15min. tops) then they asked me to test drive the car.....



Conclusion : same same, still experiencing sluggish acceleration.... ibabalik ko na lang siguro sa 50T km. service.... pero at that time the Service advisor said ibalik ko na lang kung dipa na fixed...since i'm pressed for time umuwi na lang muna ako.... also parang gumanda response nya at that time, pero next morning when getting ready to go out of my basement parking....ganun din....hirap na naman mag-REV.....

BTW, malinis pa oil ko and bagong linis ang air filter....

what could be causing it? next suspect ko is EGR needs cleaning....
