2007 Kia Carens [continued]

[Hanren]

Sirs,
May records pa po ba kayo kung magkano regular PMS with your Carens? Approve na kasi yung application ko for 0% interest 30% DP in 48 months. And we are strongly considering the Carens. Thanks!!! :-)

Sa akin sir usually mga 3k-4.5k ang bawat PMS..ang pinakamahal kong PMS eh nung 20k kms umabot ng 8k plus din.

owners, patanong naman:

-- kumusta ground clearance ng carens? ok ba, kahit fully loaded? i noticed that it's not quite as high as, say an innova

-- any difficulties sourcing parts(not from casa)?

Carens owners, meron na po ba sa inyong nagka problema sa turbo ninyo? I've been hearing that a lot of Carens have had turbo problems and the turbo had to be replaced.

so far 2 years na carens ko( 25000km mileage) wala pa problem vgt ko. i rigorously follow cooling down procedure sa turbo before shutting off the engine specially after long highway driving.

[vinrem]

Mine will be 3yrs na this november and so far no problem with the turbo, but to be sure, i bought a turbo timer, so far egr lang ang na encounter ko na problem sa carens ko.

[altd]

51,235 odo here. No Turbo problems. Got turbo timer and I followed 5K /3months PMS.

[parakitoJDM]

mine is almost 3years, and around 34T km. and i don't even have turbo timer... Turbo is just fine... it should be kasi its the newer design using water cooled system..... so it works in conjunction with the oil lubrication.... so IMHO parang di na kailangan turbo timer....pero it still pays to be diligent in doing a cool down after a spirited high speed run...

normally what i do i just "hinay hinay" in the last 5mins....when nearing home. also u can leave it for 1min. then patay.... no problems what so ever..

[carskeptic]

If possible, avoid KIA. Dami naming naging problema dyan. And to make it worse, ang baba pa ng resale value.

[jeffsaquilayan]

any Kia Picanto User here?

wala ako makausap dito about KIA Picanto.. haha

[ryanchanmd]

Ask lang po kung may nakapagtry na ng stock 15" elantra mags sa Carens 2008? Kasya ba mga sir? Thanks.

[Louie_18]

Guys sino nang nagpa 80K Kms PMS ng current Gen Carens?
Magkano po inabot? Saan po kaya medyo murang casa kasi major PMS siya at medyo mabigat sa bulsa. If outside casa, ano ano po bang scope of works ang inlcuded sa 80K kms PMS? any recommended car shops in the South that specializes in CRDi? Many thanks

Ang turbo e natural na magdumi at siguro eto ang naririnig mo. Yung sa akin e nasa Kia Pasig ngayon at lilinisin dahil sa lumiit ang butas dahil sa napuno ng carbon deposits.

Di naman basta-basta nasisira ito, pwera na lang kung di natin sinusunod yung "shutdown" procedure na maghintay ng few minutes bago patayin ang engine dahil kailangang lumamig muna ang turbo fins bago natin eto patayin.

Nakuha ko na ang Carens ko at ang total bill e P2,554.00. Ibinaba ang turbo at nilinis ang mga carbon deposits dito. Siguro (dahil di ko nakita ang pag-gawa) e ibinaba ito at in-soaked ng maraming oras para matunaw o lumambot yung mga carbon deposits. Okay na okay na naman ang takbo at balik-hataw na naman ang turbo VGT ko. Dati-rati kasi e pag nag-o-overtake ako, lalo na at pataas ang kalsada e umuubo ang engine ko, yun bang parang ayaw humatak at ilang beses akong napahiya sa pag-overtake... Ngayon okay na naman at parang bago, saka nag-improve ang diesel-mileage ko ulit..

I think being in the market for 5 years already, availability of parts won't be that hard to find. Si Fronte (Old Banawe) and Goodgear (Pasay) Sister companies sila actually, sila yung mga kilala pagdating sa Korean cars, kasi isa sila sa mga matagal na nagpapadating ng pyesa. Yung mga hard to find parts subject to order, pero yung mga consumables like oil/fuel/air filter, brake pads, lagi yan sila meron. They're also not expensive! They have good mechanics too!

Guys,

Update on my PMS so far:

25T kms PMS at Kia Mandaluyong (Signet) Sept 14, 2010
Labor 1,360.00
Oil Filter 610.00
Cotton Rags 12.00
Engine Oil 1,200.00
VAT 392.04
Sandpaper 20.00
Mighty Bond 65.00
TOTAL 3,659.04

Tires were also rotated, all underchassis/ supension bolts re-tightened (nawala yung slight kalampag sa front-left portion), dome light switch repaired (thus the Mighty Bond)

After 2 years & 9 months, all in all, still very satisfied pa rin sa performance ng Carens. FC is at 8-9 km/l at city driving & 10-12 km/l at long drives.

Hope this help other owners on the PMS cost.

Ano ba ang official schedule ng PMS is it every 5000 KM or every 3-months, or every 6-months?

TIA.

That depends on you as a car owner. If you seldom use your vehicle, a 6-month schedule should be reasonable. Regular use...I would think a 3-month schedule is ok. Heavy use meaning high mileage, 5000 km schedule.

I follow a 5000km PMS schedule which is around 6-7 months cycle.

[carchase]

Warranty po ba yung bearing sa front wheel.

Need to be replaced daw, 30KM pa lang carens namin...

Napansin kase namin, may parang umuugong kapag tumatakbo, nawawala na lang kapag 90kph or maybe 4th gear up.

[lsteruel]

Sir,

Baka puwede naman makahinge ng idea sa 40T PMS cost, TNX a lot
