2007 Kia Carens [continued]

[dgvsn1]

Tanong ko lang kung naayos na ba yung sira ng carens mo tungkol sa intermittent na ayaw mag start after a long drive? I experienced the same problem, dinala ko sa Kia Lipa at nilinis lang nila yung starter ang they read it with their computer pero after a short trip sa San Pablo City and stop for a snack, when I tried to start the car hindi nag start again and waited about 30 mins then nag start ulit, pay dating ko sa bahay ayaw na ulit mag start. any updates lang kung may development na yng car mo. Thanks

Hi guys, meron na ba kayong naging problema sa clutch ng Carens nyo?

While I was travelling uphill on 2nd gear, napansin ko naghesitate ng ilang beses ang hatak. Medyo kinabahan ako dahil paovertake ako nung paakyat at me kasalubong pa man din ako. Hindi naman nangamoy ang clutch.

Pero at 50k kms, is it too early to have clutch issues? Hindi naman ako yung tipong "clutch driver". May kailangan na bang ireplace na part nung clutch or kailangan lang ng adjustment?

Anyway, ipapa check ko na lang ulit ito pag me time this long break. But initially, I need some input guys for peace of mind. TIA.

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this site. I'm using Kia Carens 2007 Gas variant A/T. I have been experiencing problems with it - the RPM goes down while the car is running. But today, while it is running - the RPM went down as if the engine died and it seems like the car is having a hard time running and then the engine just died. I was able to start it again and went home and still the same - parang mamamatay un makina and the RPM goes down below 1.

Anyone experience this and any idea where the problem is coming from? I hope this is not the same problem I had with my Corolla na bigla na lang mamamatay un engine while running. Please help.

Thanks.

[khelvin]

sir, fuel pump problem yan. I just replace mine and still under warranty.

[dodongo]

guys, has anyone else experienced my problem?

when I floor the throttle often it would get stuck at 3000 RPM. It goes down and goes back to normal when I step off. It has happened at different gears, at 40 kph and 80 kph. It started happening when the whistling noise began, but the casa was able to fix that already. Also already had my turbo replaced according to them to attempt to fix the problem but to no avail. The casa can't diagnose it because it doesn't occur regularly.. anybody experience the same thing and find a fix for it?

my carens is lx a/t crdi, 2010 model. 20100+ mileage.

TIA

[COLOR="#0000CD"]Hi guys,

Just got my 2012 Carens LX MT, CRDi,tiger nose,standard . Will upload some pics later. Mas maganda sana kung me foglights eh. Where can I buy,aside from the casa(w/c is expensive), and how much for? Db mawawala ang warranty pag na-installan ng foglamps?

Sana, all the problems that were discussed in the forum have reached Kia and addressed them so that the new model Carens are free of them.

to ser dgvsn1, cat12_mco,
sorry wala po akong ganyang problema na experience sa Carens ko so far...
update mo na lang kami ano maging solusyon....


to ser khelvin,
yun pong fuel pump problem eh pareho ba sya to Toyota D4D?
at Diesel din ba unit mo o Gas? first time ko narinig to for
Carens....and its disconcerting to say the least...


to ser Hanren,
i've had same problem going up Baguio last April,
hhhhm, i don't think mine has anything to do with the clutch.
i know they already replaced VGT Solenoid valve for free (even though
unit is outside warranty)....it seems to have relieved it a little..
sa tingin ko dahil sya sa mga barang carbon naaipon inside engine/egr/
turbo/and exhaust system.... hula ko lang....
kaya nga lagi nilang advice eh bombahin ng bombahin Go Pedal para matanggal sya....


to ser dodongo,
ahh kayo nga po pala napalitan Turbo.....pero sayang kasi kabagobago pa ng unit nyo.
yung unit kasi natin eh electronic throttle eh...so baka puede same as Toyota issue to na
may friction sa loob ng pedal? or trapped floor mat?
and wala din po akong same problem sa inyo....

Thanks sir ParakitoJDM .. i'll take your advise

[drkiko]

Hi guys. Just had my 5,000km check up at KIA Sto. Tomas Batangas. Was surprised to find out that the visit would cost me 9,700 (using fully synthetic oil) or around 6k if you choose to use the regular oil. If i remember the breakdown
correctly there is a 2,500k labor charge, 480 pesos for the break cleaning etc. Would just like to ask if other service
centers/casa also charge this much? Thanks for your help.

[dodongo]

sir lsteruel

sa kia pasig na po talaga ako nag papacheck eh, 'di nila ma diagnose.
next time na pumunta ako dun bring up ko yang AC compressor shaft

sir ParakitoJDM

i'll bring that up aswell on my next visit to kia pasig

BTW, parang bumabalik yung whistling/whining noise..

[vinrem]

Hi guys!!! Im back!!! i cant log in dito sa tsikot for a very long time, dont know why, anyway, dami na pala akong na miss ah.

Anyway, my carens is already 4yrs old, bilis ng panahon, current problem of my carens is the lag during acceleration, according to my in-law, he brought it sa casa, sabi daw ay merong butas daw sa turbo, alam nyo ba kng mag kano ang turbo if ever they will replace it? bakit ba nabubutas ang turbo? these are the questions that i dont have an answer. Yung ginawa lng ng casa temporary ay they cleaned again the egr and they pump the accelerator para daw lumabas ang mga soots, ngayon daw ay medyo bumalik ang acceleration but the question is till when?

[parakitoJDM]

ser Vinrem, kung talagang may butas o nasira na turbo mo eh di mo na magagamit yan....
if u follow normal cool down procedure it should match the life of the car....

Sir parakitoJDM, i have a turbo timer installed in my carens, timed to turn of the engine at around 1minute. Kaya nagtataka ako kng bakit mabutas, and also i dont believe the casa na may butas ito, also, A/T yung tranny ko kaya malabo na ma over rev ang engine, tapos ang takbo ay city driving lang.

[seymorebutts]

just to share as i am surprised as how easy it is to check/replace the brake pads. if you want to DIY, napakadali lang po pala. 2 weeks ago i heard my brakes are squealing and thought that i need to replace it ASAP as i am on my 54k kms (unit is MT), i brought my unit to servitek to have it checked and replaced if needed, i watched the technician how to do it and it was very simple, before going there i searched on youtube on how to check/replace brake pads, may mga kailangan pa na c-clamp etc kaya dinala ko na lang sa servitek, yun pala hindi na kailangan

1. jack up
2. remove the wheel
3. remove one bolt in the brake system
4. lift the cover
5. remove/replace the pads

found out my pads are still thick, so nilinis lang ng sandpaper

btw, yung mga housing ng dome lights ko, lahat may crack or putol, i seldom park sa walang bubong, hindi ko alam pano nangyari, pati yung lalagyan ng sunglasses may crack

[yapoy86]

sakit na ng carens ata yang cracked dome lights...

sa calipers ng carens removing 1 bolt is enough to clean the pads.. pag tanggal mo ng lower bolt lift up mo lang caliper at matatanggal mo na yung pads to clean it ... but if you will replace the pads, you need the c-clamp to reset the piston back to its zero position to fit the new and thick brake pads.. if you will not reset the pistons, there is no way you can fit that new set of pads...

[seymorebutts]

ah ok, so what i have posted above should be specific for checking only, if it needs to be replaced then a c-clamp is required.

thanks sir yapoy86!
