2007 Kia Carens [continued]

[valskie01]

how much sir for the front shocks? oem or aftermarket po ang binili nyo and nasira po ba yung shocks?

oem (sachs brand). P2,500/pc. sa goodgear pasay.

[mikkoy_99]

check nyo kung may ingay pa din ang pang ilalim while braking sa mga lubak... sa tingin ko kasi yung ingay ng pang ilalim is coming from the calipers... brake calipers are prone sa tagatak na ingay... 4 calipers yan... silicone grease lang ang katapat nyan lalagyan yung mga caliper bolts

Hindi sa brake calipers...iba lang tunog ng Korean versus Japanese.

pano nyo po nalaman na sira na yung dating oem shocks? kailangan po ba i-lift or may mararamdaman naman?

thanks for the info about the brand/price and store

Actually wala pa naman akong naramdaman na bouncy yung ride pero may parang oil na lumalabas sa na sa shocks.

I'd agree with this observation. Mukhang sa preno nangagaling yung ingay sa akin. I'm guessing it's with the brake pads at siyempre numinipis na rin. Tinatamad lang kalasin at linisin.

Ano na update dito sir?

Kung wala pang resulta I suggest remove & and draw out the turbo charger from engine bay. Once out, test the rotor assy rotation by hand. Dapat magaan at swabe umikot, walang sabit, may bwelo ang ikot hindi hihinto agad, no wiggle, no excessive horizontal thrust and no physical defect ang rotor blades both turbine & compressor side. In other words be sure 100% that the turbo charger is indeed defective other wise look somewhere else the source of trouble. Good luck. HTH

Guys sigurado na pong T/C ang problem at na open na po ng mga kapatid ko ang turbo at nakita po na putol na po ang rotor... Di po ako marunong mag post ng pic kaya di ko ma ipakita ang pic..
Up to now po naghahanap na kami ng pang palit na turbo na medyo mura naman.. Kasi sa casa nasa 60K+ talaga sya..
Ibinalik nalang po muna namin ang turbo without the rotor, tapos condemn po ang lubricating oil supply at return ng turbo. Kaya po as of now nagagamit narin po siya ng misis ko kahit wlang turbo power.
Ok naman ko sya maliban sa syenpre walang power like the turbo..Kung si miss po ang tanungin ko parang wala lang rin daw nagbago..At di rin daw mausok..
Sa pag uwi ko nalang po next month siguro papalitan para ako na mismo ang mag aayos ng turbo..
Up to now po hirap pa kami humanap ng turbo na pang palit, na medyo mura nga.. Pero tiyak makakakita rin yan..
Update ko nalang po kung maayos na..

[yapoy86]

good to know na turbo nga ang sira.. ang question na lang eh bakit nasira yan ng ganyan.. sigurado sa manila maraming turbo ng carens.. may surplus kia engines na dito sa banawe eh..

[mikkoy_99]

Baka napasukan ng foreign object kaya naputol turbo rotors?

Wow putol!! Yung rotor shaft or yung turbine blade? Kung putol ang turbine blade pero umiikot ang shaft eh possible na may tumama na metal parts dyan, yung variable nozzle vanes sigurado basag din. question is ano ang metal part/s na yon. In my experience usually ganyan ang resulta pag nabasagan ng exhaust valve. Kung putol ang shaft naman pero good ang nozzle vanes, kadalasan sira ang bearing kaya sayad compressor blades sa casing kaya nabali ang shaft. Just my opinion though..

Visited Kia dealership yesterday. Unfortunately, there is no carens in the showroom.

Checked with the SA. He told me, they are not giving away discounts. And the package just only includes floor mats.

Ganun din ba sa case nyo mga sir.

[alwayz_yummy]

pm-ed ko sa yo contacts agent ko, may titanium gray 6MT carens pa sa kia quirino... kayo nalang mag usap.

hindi nilinis EGR??

hindi nilinis EGR??

I asked about that and they said it's not needed at that time. La pa naman ako nararamdaman na problema.

*stardril - inhouse ba yan? They offered me the same package if in house at kukunin yung pinakamababang DP. If bank financing, walang freebies except for floor mats. Same case when I inquired for sportage. Thorned between the 2 kia's kasi ako. I like the sportage but my wife likes the carens. I think only the drive test will determine which of the two cars we're getting. Anyway, we plan to get one around may.

sportage--2.0 gas lang locally, 5-6km/l city, swerte na 9 pag highway. slightly bigger trunk space than tucson. KDM sportage costs 1.820M..eto ang diesel at loaded talaga.

carens--may be dated but crdi-vgt to. rated ko 5-8 city, up to 20km/l highway. seats 7. contakin mo ahente ko para may cmparo ka... ganun ginawa ko...di sana carens makukuha ko, pero ito, nakuha ko dahil sa pagiikot ko..
