Gud PM carnival peeps

Naka 1 yr na sa akin si arnie, how fast time flies. Checked the records when I had the solenoid replaced (coz of the blinking problem) after I got the unit, naka 18k ako in just a yr! gamit na gamit ko talaga yung van (my average km usage per wk is 450 to 480 kms, or 2k worth of diesel.

Anyway I just want to share some of the most recent repairs I had;

radiator fan assembly - bought the entire thing (housing, fan & ,motor) at goodgear for Php 1300. . . surprisingly cheap considering that replacement surplus motor for my 2005 civic cost me 900 pesos.

return hose sa injector - 60 pesos each, readily available at goodgear. medyo mahirap hanapin yung mahaba (these are the braided/ sleeve type), wala sa goodgear. I had to ask the stores in pasay one by one until I cames across simplex shop otherwise I wont be able to use my van.

only thing bothering me at the moment are some minor rattling (but not necessarily kalampag) sound sa harap at likod (bushing I guess?).

Btw, has anyone experienced a grinding sound during start-up but also immediately disappears? Eto na kaya yung oil pump chain problem na common sa carnival? mine is 01 LS A/T btw.

Share ko lang pix ng ride ko . . Im so happy and proud of this baby!
