[yapoy86]

aba mura pala dyan.. pwede na replacements sa original kasi pinaka mahal yan cabin filter eh..

[parakitoJDM]

ser yapoy86, siempre puede replacement (mga lumang kotse nga eh walang cabin filter).... di na nga mahal yang Php350. kung sa Kia Pasay 'yan eh napakamahal nyan, doble po ang presyo nila.

over priced talaga sa CASA, kaya ako (after nag expire warranty eh)
sa gas station na lang pa change-oil. pero ang oil filter ko sa goodgear
at original Hyundai/Kia part sya....

saka na lang ako babalik sa CASA on 60T km. service, kasi dun ko pa palitan
ang Fuel filter, di pa ako sure kasi alam nila pano gawin 'yun....

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..

* mang_jose. yes,in house,low down,all the freebies I mentioned. We got our Carens just a few months back. I fully agree with alwayz_yummy that, if ur practical, the Carens is a sure winner, lalo na ngayon na P60/liter na ang gasoline if ur thinking of getting the Sportage. They will have the diesel variation,pero matagal tagal pa un. Outdated? - not totally, mukhang ang kaha lang I think, but the engine, power train, suspension,etc. are modelo at ibang items upgraded pa.

Madali lang mag palit ng fuel filter. Basta observe safety, off ang susi at pasingawin muna ag pressure sa linya (keep away from the fuel line). Wag pakialaman ang high pressure rail!!. After replacement ng fuel filter "on" ang susi para umandar ang fuel transfer pump wag i-start (not in ignition position), do inspection of fuel lines & fittings for leak, rectify as necessary. Kung ok lahat then start engine. Observe.. if all is normal. HTH

Do this at YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Guys,

Just want to ask, san po kaya pwede bumili ng POWER STEERING FLUID for our carens? Nakita ko kasi sa owner's manual na kelangan PSF-4 dapat. 2mingin ako sa mga gas station ng power steering fluid hindi sila PSF-4 compliant. Haven't asked Kia though, but sabi nila mahal daw yun. Parang may sira kasi ang power steering ko eh, I am hearing slight squeaking sounds when I turn the steering wheel left and right and very evident pag mdyo matagal na ako nagddrive. Pag bagong bukas, no noise whatsoever. I am hoping that putting in a new steering fluid would do wonders....
