to DieselNubi,
ouch, mahal nga 'yan kung Turbo ang papalitan....baka puede na nila i-convert to e-VGT? hehe. BTw, tanong, dati ba patay ka kaagad ng makina? good luck to your ride...

to Hanren,
sa akin naman at 45T km. oo nga medyo ramdan mo na di na kasing responsive tulad ng dati....ngayon mga 2000RPM+ na sya nag-spool....

to ser Vinrem,
kelan ka uli daan dito sa Shenzhen? btw, yung 2min. ata medyo matagal yun....kaya ako ginagawa ko hinay hinay na lang the minute pumasok sa garahe.... para tipid na din sa Diesel. hehe.
dba pangalawang linis mo na ng EGR 'yun? magkano naman inaabot sa labor fee?

to MSchumacher,
ser dba 2nd. time na din nagkaroon ng problema A/C compressor bearing mo? or was it Magnetic clutch last time?
so far so good naman A/C ko (hehe knock on wood). and good for u, nagawan ng murang solusyun problema mo.

Sir parakitoJdm, i was in Shenzhen last May 27-29, sorry i really forgot na nasa shenzhen ka, pero May 28 ay pumunta kami sa HK then balik sa hapon, sa June 17 punta ako ng HK but balik ako ulit ng Yiwu on June 18 kasi may client ako pupunta dito, saan ka nga sa Shenzhen? baka one of this days may eb tayo.

Bale total damage ko for cleaning the egr is P2800.00 plus palit ng fuel filter (not sure kasi it was my dad in law who brought the car sa casa).

guys do any of you know a reputable store where i could get my driver side power lock actuator fixed? nag try ako kanina sa banawe sabi sa akin, its not the usual ordinary type of actuator they have. ibang klase daw kaya ayaw nila galawin.


btw, carens nearing 3 yrs palang. but i havent been going to case for change oil so... warranty voided daw. crap right ?

nasira din yung actuator ko sa kia carnival. Motor lang yan. Dalhin mo sa kia pasay baka ma repair pa yan or ma claim sa warranty.

[battaglin]

sir imperialv, sira din power door lock sa right front door ko. di ko pa pinapagawa kasi out of warranty na at wala pa budget.
magkano kaya abutin? nag-rerepair ba ang casa? di ba palit lang ang alam ng mga iyon?

[dieselNUBI]

labo talaga ng kia wheels erod. sabi sira un turbo daw.
hindi naman pala. may isang bearing, un ang sira. kaya maingay. pinalitan. costs about 9K.
ngayon yun turbo timer ko naka set na ng 1 minute.

have any of you guys tried racechip sa kia carens nyo na ?

[parakitoJDM]

ser di ko pa na subukan RaceChip / ChipTuning or any other type.... pero if it can improve Caren's response at low RPM say fm. around 1500RPM mag bu-boost na sya, let me know. interesado ako dyan. sa mid and top end power eh ok naman sya....u hardly need for more.

[LiLjOHn]

san po ginamit ung carb cleaner????

sir, san mo dinala after wheels at sino ang naka diagnose? para sa kaalaman ng iba pang owners who might also experience this as well. so far, mine has been a-ok la pa rin nagbago sa takbo. i think basta regular oil change, maintenance, gas up only on well maintained stations at proper cooling down ng turbo before turning the engine off will ensure our engine will always be in good running condition.

[carchase]

Last month sobra ingay ng carens namin, diagnose nung una sa turbo daw yun, pero hindi naman pala, may pinalitan sila parts, bearing daw sa aircon. Buti na lang under warranty pa.

So far ok pa naman ang hatak at 50k km.

[LiLjOHn]

sir good morning sa lahat ng tsikoteers..ask ko lang po kung kada PMS e automatic na linilinis ung EGR or kung may mga symptoms lang na due for cleaning dun lang chinecheck..we have a 2008 carens..thanks in advance...

[vinrem]

If you feel that your acceleration is getting slower and slower and if medyo mausok na ang carens mo, thats the only time you have your egr checked.

[jds]

Sa mga nakaramdam na ng slower acceleration or mausok sa kanilang Carens at nagpalinis ng EGR, how many thousand kilometers (in what range) usually ito nag-umpisang maramdaman.

Para naman we can start to look out (if EGR needs to be cleaned) if we start to feel the symptoms.

TIA.

Is it true that according to CAC's new service advisory, our Carens need to have air filter change every PMS?

So far, based on my last PMS(45k), di naman required na palitan yon unless talagang madumi na. Di pinalitan yung sa Carens ko dahil malinis pa. Pero check natin ulit baka nga may bagong memo ang CAC.

Re: EGR cleaning - may labor charge ata ito if i'm not mistaken. May mga nagpalinis ng EGR at nagpa ugrade din ng software sabay.

More on the EGR:

The Evil Of EGR On Diesel Engines - Diesel Power Magazine

What Is EGR?
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is a system that takes exhaust gas from a diesel’s exhaust manifold and reintroduces it into the intake of the engine to reduce the combustion chamber temperature.

Why do modern diesels have EGR? you ask. Basically, EGR is used to reduce the formation of NOx emissions, which are created when the combustion chamber temperature exceeds 2,370 degrees. Pumping exhaust (EGR) back into the engine helps to cool the combustion chamber because EGR has almost no oxygen in it. Without oxygen, the temperature stays below the NOx-producing threshold, and the emissions coming out the tailpipe are cleaner.

Unfortunately, the EGR gasses from a diesel tend to bring a sooty mess with themit’s a lot like cholesterol in your body. That sooty mess tends to gum up the EGR valve, EGR cooler, intake ports, and any sensors that are exposed to it.

Is it true that according to CAC's new service advisory, our Carens need to have air filter change every PMS?

sabihin mo sa kanila, "this is total bull-****".... pero actually heavily dependent sya sa dumi ng air-filter....kung sa probinsya normal use eh every 20T km. ok na.... pero kung heavy traffic/usok na Metro Manila....mas mapapadali.... pero frequent cleaning helps though para di naii-stuck yung dumi.

Our carens has been in the casa for a week now, originally thought to be a dirty turbo only. Auto tensioner bearing and idler bearing need to be replaced. Hindi ba talaga ito covered ng warranty? and ano cause ng pagsira?

hindi raw na ayos pag palit ng bearings. papalitan at papabayarin parin ba ako nito? halos 2 weeks na yung kotse namin sa Kia Pasig c/o Edgar, san bang casa maayos din ang gawa? parang walang nangyayari dito eh.

[yapoy86]

kaya ba diy ang egr cleaning ng carens? Sa carnival j3 engine madali lang ang egr cleaning, may naka diy na ba sa carens? Na pms ako ng carens spent less than 4k change oil, filters, clean brakes and foot brake
