2007 Kia Carens [continued]

[glenn manikis]

Pati sa Kia Alabang, they don't know how to clean (what the F*** is the EGR daw). When I complained na medyo humina hatak, what they did was change the fuel filter and the result > NO IMPROVEMENT! Btw, My Carens is now 4 1/2 yrs with me.

Looks like I will have to go the Goodgear.

nahahalatang puro baguhan ang mga mechaniko nila.... baka sir mga OJT lang ang gumagawa dyan....

Ok lang ba if noisy ung compressor pero wala naman effect in terms of performance?? Anyone experience this? What will this lead to? Just had my PMS, they didn't even mention anything about it.

Most likely compressor pulley yan. Kapapalit ko lang nyan last March. P6995 part (less 25%) + P3000 (less 20%) labor sa Wheels E. Rod. (kasama na freon). Discount dahil may promo nun.

Don't know long term effect on engine but short term effect is irritating noise

Thanks Mikkoy, hindi ba ito covered ng warranty??

Parang ang dami ng pinapalitan sa carens namin, will turn 3 on the 7th. Turbo and AC pulley bearing.

Out of warranty na Carens namin last September 2011 pa. Pa cover mo sa warranty....common problem yata yung pulley problem sa Carens.

my windshield washer stopped squirting water, tried the rear wala na rin, i tried to access the pump by removing the headlight assembly kaya lang ang hirap pa rin, dapat ata yung buong bumper alisin bago sya matanggal. i hear the pump everytime i try to turn it on so hindi fuse at hindi rin yung pump, ni-try ko rin yung needle sa bawat jet nozzle pero ala rin most likely barado either yung hose o yung sa reservoir mismo. so far ang ginawa ko pa lang is i-drain yung reservoir at marami ngang dumi, ewan ko ilang beses ko ni-drain at refill hanggang sa ma-lessen yung dumi but still no luck, baka nasa pump na yung bara.

any other suggestions for diy? layo ko kasi sa casa e. isa pa lang naisip ko susunod na gawin, buy compressed air at blow sa jet nozzle, ano pa kaya?

salamat po!

ang bugahan mo yung hose mismo wag yung nozzle... punta ka sa car wash shop na may compressor, tanggalin mo yung hose sa nozzle tapos bugahan mo ng hangin

sir, pano po tanggalin yung nozzle? sinubukan kong hilahin, move it sideways kaya lang hindi ko ma pwersa at baka may mabali o maputol

thanks!

Experienced this as well. Hindi sa nozzle ang bara. Tried compressed air, didn't fix the problem.

Napalitan yung washer pump ko. After a day, nagbara again so backjob. Now it's working fine. Barado somewhere, hindi ko lang malaman kung saan talaga nagbara.

thanks sir mikkoy, i can hear my pump everytime i try to use the washer, hinala ko sa pump na mismo ang bara kasi may mga dumi dun sa reservoir nung ni-drain ko, anyway ni-replace ba ng kia under warranty?

parang hindi ata maganda maglagay ng winshield washer solution dun sa reservoir, pag naayos plain water na lang gagamitin ko

Baka ang suction side o mismong pump barado, dapat tanggal lahat para malinisan ng maayos sa labas ng engine compartment. Pabalik-balik lang ang problema pag di ganito ang gagawin.

hello, i managed to access my windshield washer pump through the wheel well
1. jack up front right wheel
2. remove 6 plastic screws from the wheel well

3. after screws were removed

4. here is the washer pump

5. remove the power connection

6. gently pull the pump

7. as you can see the filter is blocked from the windshield washer solution gunk

[seymorebutts]

8. after cleaning with alcohol

9. replace the pump and power connector

i let a compressed air blown thru each hose for the front and rear washer, but i didnt have success with the rear, still clogged but front is fine now, i will have to find a long thin flexible wire for the rear's hose
10. replace the wheel well cover and screws

[yapoy86]

nice... dapat talaga water lang gamit... wag na kung ano ano pang solution ek ek... biodegradable din kasi yan so katagalan nabubulok, nagiging slimy tapos mag coagulate sabay babara

Guys, I need your opinion with regards to this. I think my Carens is going to have serious engine issues :'(

While going up Kennon road a few hours ago (exactly 7 pm), there was a minor landslide at Camp 2. There were stones of different sizes that littered the road. I tried to run cross one stone but unfortunately, it scraped the underside of my Carens. So I continued to drive for about 20 kms more.

Then when I reached Camp 7, the engine gradually shook and died and smoke emitted from under the hood. I couldn't start it anymore. I was stuck on a sharp uphill curb (just right after the Lions head). Good thing there were a number of guys who helped push up my Carens to a safer spot on the other side of the road.

Then when I looked underneath, oil was dripping. My suspect was that the oil pan was struck and punctured when I hit that stone. So I had it towed to Kia Baguio. My question is, is the engine totally damaged? What could be the worst possible scenario? I dread to hear the bad news but I think this is covered by insurance (own damage). Kia Baguio will open by Tuesday July 17 because Monday here is a holiday so I really won''t have any idea as to what could be the damage until Tuesday. Tomorrow is a Sunday.

Thanks in advance for your inputs. I badly need this right now.

*Hanren, possible that your carens lost a lot of oil so the engine seized. I'm not a mechanic but I experienced a blown radiator once and engine immediately died due to overheating (corolla 92 xe model). After radiator was replaced, it was running again. Hope your car just needs additional oil and oil pan replacement.

yes thanks. I hope yun lang ang magiging issue at hindi yung overhaul or change engine.

I also don't use windshield solutions but instead I use distilled water kc tap or plain water has minerals that will clog the nozzle over time.

yes, distilled pala, thanks!


regarding sir hanrens issue, i have also experienced oil drained while i was running but with a rocsta jeep, it shook and died also after some kilometers tapos ayaw na mag start, naputol kasi yung hose somewhere, bale ni-replace lang yung hose, naglagay ng bagong oil tapos push start kasi ayaw na sa ignition key mag start e, nag ok naman sya, hope yun lang din nangyari sa carens mo at nothing serious

aluminum pa naman ang oil pan ng carens kaya madali yan mabubutas... sobra laki nung bato na yun para abutin yung oil pan..

worst dyan eh masira ang crankshaft bearing... pero tingin ko kaya namatay yung makina kasi low oil pressure na... plus wala na oil kaya didikit yung cylinder sa liner nya

replace mo lang oil pan then put fresh oil, run mo siguro ng ilang kilometers then change ka ulet ng oil..

The worst thing to do is running the engine without oil!!
Kaya namatay ang makina dahil 1. Bumaba ang oil level so nawalan ng suction ang oil pump which resulted to low oil pressure, low oil pressure then activated the engine shut down. Check the engine if you can rotate the crankshaft at least 2 revs manually, of course turning using the wrench in the front pulley lock bolt. Kung ok then you can proceed to drain/flush out the remaining oil & changed oil. 2. Seized con-rod & main bearings due to low oil pressure or no oil flow at all. In this case major overhaul is a must . That will make a hole in your pocket. HTH
