2007 Kia Carens [continued]

[SyniTh]

Good morning mga sir! Nag PMS po ako this morning. 30k pms. They advised to replace the brake pads. Its priced 5,800 here in cebu. Does it really cost this much? Pahelp po if magkano.

I also have a knocking sound problem in rough roads. Most probably they are going to advice me to replace another part. I will update asap. Thanks!

[SyniTh]

The stabilizer links were replaced and nawala tlaga ung knocking sound. Ung brakepads nlng ung problem ko. Our place is inclined so i would understand why the front brakepads are to be replaced already.

[parakitoJDM]

ang note ko lang sa DMF na 'yan. its a double edged sword.... on the one hand, ok ang refinement nya dahil much reduced yung vibration etc..... pero OTH sirain naman sya.....kahit sa VW & other car site forums madami case ng ganyan....ang tanong ko lang eh...ang mga Automatic trannys ba meron din nito o wala?

[parakitoJDM]

ser SyniTh, kung gusto mo makamura....bili ka na lang brake pads sa mga automotive shops like Bendix brand....or kung may kakilala ka sa Manila, ask them to buy in Pasay city (Goodyear trading)....mas murra talaga dun compared sa casa....

Ung nasa goodgear po, aside from the Bendix brand meron din po ba genuine KIA brakepads or yan na un? Salamat po. Overpriced po talaga dealership ng parts dito sa CASA sa cebu.

sa goodgear sir nagtanong nako dati ng brake pads, hindi ko lang matandaan yung price pero less than what you have indicated, oem po yun more or less nasa 4,300 harap at likod.

Thanks po sa information. Mind if I ask what brakepads are you using now?

Mga sir, i looked for bendix brakepads for carens this afternoon (FRONT). I found a shop and bought one. Unfortunately, the bendix pads is smaller than the original. But I was refunded with the amount (980 PHP ). Other brands are also available like NUVO, PART-MALL korean brand and R-SPEC. Which do you think should i get? I dont think these other brands are reliable. Thanks po sa help mga sir!



Bendix General CT. I dont know why its smaller. Our carens is 2007 model. Does the later carens have smaller brakepads?

Ser, lahat talaga ng Casa overpriced. My suggestion dont buy those unknown brands its too risky. If i were u i'd buy the bullet this time and get fm casa till u found an exact replacement

Don't buy R-Spec, maingay. I am not sure though kung meron na ang Vetto na brand for Kia Carens. It's non-asbestos na so nde maingay and these are being used sa mga new cars ng Kia and Hyundai, and other brands as well like BMW and Chysler. Ang downside is for non-asbestos is that madaling dumumi ang mags mu, pero mas tahimik and hindi kakainin ang discs mu. If you have other brands, ask them kung may non-asbestos sila na brake pads

still using the stock, bibili sana ako for spare pero nung pina check ko pads makapal pa at 60k km

[ajoe11_03]

brake pads are vital component of our rides, better get original pads for now maybe you will have enough time to look for replacement next time

[parakitoJDM]

Buti pala dapat nag automatic ba lang, para. Puro MT may sira sa clutch/DMF

[altec]

yup, yun ang mafeel mo. Pagcheck pa lang ng kia, yun agad ang suspecha. I pulled out the car and sending it to an outside mechanic for 2nd opinion this week, but based on what was mentioned here about the flywheel, mukhang common yata ang problema nito sa kia. I don't think this is expected on CRDI units because we have company innovas already over 100K mileage and have never heard this issue with them.

[altec]

Eto yung estimate ng kia.

disc and clutch cover assembly (clutch pressure plate): 35,878.42.
concentric sleeve: 5,089.25
flywheel dual mass: 78,414.60
labor: 3,840.
total: 119,382.27

IF ever ipapaayos ko sa kanila, meron akong 20% discount.

According to the service advisor, yung replacement flywheel is an upgraded version, since ito ang kinabit, wala daw reklamo. Mga ugok talaga itong Kia, parang sinabi nila na may defect talaga ang unit, kasi kung within warranty period, sagot pa ng warranty, pero since out of warranty, may bayad, even if that statement basically shows na alam nila hindi matibay ang "current" version.

Hindi pa naman sure na papalitan lahat. Based on the vibration pa lang, these are the expected suspected parts. Hindipa nila na down yung transmission to see the status of those parts mentioned.

after almost 4 years, my stock battery died, replaced it with motolite gold

[yapoy86]

sulit din... yung sa carens namin 4 years and 1 month na... buhay pa pero medyo ramdam ko mahina na redondo lalo na pag hindi nagamit ng 2 days hehehe

*altec, nanginginig ba from stop at 1st gear?? ang setting kasi ng clutch ng carens masyado malalim eh..sobra ang travel ng clutch pedal.. dapat yan mababaw lang ang setting..

Sulit na sulit na yan Sir Seymorebutts. Other batteries die down on you after 18 months.

Buti umabot ng 4 years, sa amin 1.5 years napalitan na agad ng Motolite Excel.

[Hanren]

Mag fo 4 years na by june ang Carens ko pero malakas pa battery. Isang taon na yung binili kong reserve battery [motolite enduro gold] at hindi ko pa rin nagagamit.

[seymorebutts]

weeks ago napansin ko medyo mahina na kasi pag isang araw hindi mo nagamit kinabukasan pag-start medyo matagal na yung redondo bago mag start pero pag daily sya nai-start ok naman, e nung sunday nasa bahay lang at nakalimutan ko kahit i-start man lang kaya ayun the following day diskargado , pinalitan ko ng motolite gold, 21 months warranty, Php 5200 less Php 400 para sa trade in value nung old batt.

*hanren, sir medyo matagal na yang reserve battery mo, i read somewhere na 6 months after ka bumili ng battery at hindi nagamit, dapat ipa-recharge ulit, confirm mo na lang sa binilan mo, baka kasi kung kelan mo na kailangan e wala na rin palang charge......at yung warranty mo tumatakbo ng naka-stock lang
