Yes, it is relatively more expensive to maintain a Carnival compared to other Asian brands. Your SA's quote to you is quite consistent with mine. BTW, There's an on-going promo at KIA authorized dealers from June28 to August 7:

.Free 28 point checkup
.25% discount on parts
.20% discount on labor
.20% discount on engine oil
.Free body wash, vacuum, tire black and hinges lubrication

Schedule of dealer visits in MMla by Korean engineers:
Alabang July 2-3
New Manila July 5-6
Pasig July 9-10

You might as well schedule your PMS within the promo period to avail of the abovementioned discounts. Maibsan man lang ang sama ng loob ng bulsa natin... wala naman tayo magagawa. Our cars are still under warranty.

Aside from the 20k Kms PMS being done on my car right now, I just got a call from my SA that my brake pads (front and rear) are all worn out and needs to be replaced ASAP, aircon belt and fuel filter are going to be replaced as well. I didn't even bother to ask anymore for the whys and nots. Again, as I've said, our cars are still under warranty. Hawak nila tayo sa Audi TT until the end of the car's warranty.

Come to think of it, I think KIAs are even more expensive to maintain compared to my euro cars (BMW, Benz, Volvo, Porsche). On the average, I spend around P40k on my euro cars' regular PMS. Quite expensive, Yes, but next visits are scheduled after 15k kms. Porsche wont even bother you 'til it hits 25k kms. KIAs on the other hand, recommends a regular checkup every 5k kms. Do the math.

Upside lang on the carnival is that overall, and I'm sure most of you will agree with me, it really is one of the nicest, most comfortable vans in the market today. Kapag pickup naman overall- Navara syempre!

I was robbed last friday when I brought my carnival for 20k pms for the ff:

Labor 9056.71 inc. rotor disc reface at 1800

Parts 14107.50 including front and rear break pads 8600

Battery no discount 9600 (analyser printed to replace battery)

All part of the promo hehehe

bakit rotor disc reface? diba dapat warranty pa yan? Yung carnival ko pinalitan isang set na rotor disc

Same here.. wala akong nahanap na 100amps nuong una. Pero ang ac-delco ata mayroon..

Baka hindi microfilter ang nakita mo. .Baka fuel filter? Yan ang mahal. Ako ang ginagawa ko bumili ako sa good gear.. 3.5T lang sa kanila.. It's the same filter that the casa is selling. Ginawa ko yun nuong 20K PMS..

This is my wife's favorite car of all time. I just wish it had more airbags then it would be perfect. I have a sratch that runs along 3 panels. My friendly neighborhood painter will fix it later for 7k. That includes painting. Mahal ba iyan?

Ok na yun.. 2.5 isang panel.. Ako yung fxt nadisgraya kanina, natuluaan ng adhesive solvent ng plumber ko.. ..

How's ur legacy...

You are right the micro filter is for the a/c.
