The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[altec]

got 3M dirt mat type of matting from makro for P495. A little undersized for the front, and multiple mats for the 2nd row. Since three rows yung ride natin, i still have those old multicolored mats na one long piece that I use for the floor on the third row.

I don't know if all Makro branches carry that matting. I got it in Makro Cebu.

[DBGeli]

look what happened to my air filter.... this was still fairly new, about 5,000kms since i bought it at the same time i had my oil changed... i bought it sa kia dealer here in davao... good thing dumating na yung inorder ko sa sister ko....

[Lance_R]

Naku sayang K&N filter pa naman. Worth 4K ata yan diba?

Ako I just replaced mine using OEM worth 675php sa Wheels.

Bakit kaya nag warp ng ganyan yan? Baka nagbara then naghanap ng lusutan yung hangin kaya sa side (point of least resistance) lumusot?

[mikey177]

Guys what type of carpet or matting do you have on your Sedonas?...

I still have the original vinyl matting, and yes, it does move around a lot since it doesn't cling to the carpet underneath.

The suggestion I got 5 years ago was to apply double-adhesive velcro tape to the underside of the matting, to make it more secure. Five years later, and I still haven't gotten around to trying this idea out. Nasanay na lang ako na inaayos yung matting tuwing may sumakay sa van

DBgelli: were you able to find a replacement bulb for your foglights? a few pages back i posted that one of my foglights was also not working, last weekend i finally decided to diy a replacement. i bought an h3 (but h1 will also do) and removed the metal terminals leaving just the two wires leading to the bulb itself. i cut the busted bulb from the base and soldered the new bulb. it works! just make sure to wipe the bulb clean before installing it back.

Thank you, Lord! At long last, I can finally participate in this thread. I have been reading you guys for 3 years now, waiting for this day when I can talk about my own Kia Sedonna (2004 LS). Since 2004, I have been living vicariously through all of you and to carefully learn more about this car. Thank you very much to all the gurus here who have been patient and generous with their detailed explanations with the rest of us amateurs. We bought our unit from a reseller a 450k. It was originally priced at 570k and posted in the internet. Although I spent months looking for an LS and A/T, I settled for a M/T because I was the freshest that I could find.

From all your pieces of advice, I did everything to make it new. Changed all the filter, cleansed it with high % BD, had it detailed for the interior and exterior, changed all the worn engine support, and checked all the belts. When it reaches 60,000 km (7,500 km away) I will bring it in for a PM check. The power steering was leaking and the clutch was worn. I spent 17,200 for labor and parts for the power steering repair kit, clutch disk, pressure plate and other related parts plus 3 engine supports, and a new korean version radiator grille.

I have still been spending a little here and there to make it mine and personalized. I have been loving it and taking good care of it.

However, two weeks ago, a old FX driving from the other side of Ortigas Extn. made a U-turn and crashed straight into my side. It nearly missed my door and completely damaged the sliding door and a portion of the rear fender. . . .

[boquito]

. . . I thought that the damaged would have been really bad. I was alone there was no passengers to be concerned about. The other driver said he lost his brakes. When they moved the FX I was glad to see the the damaged was almost isolated to the door and it was still working inspite of being deformed. It was so deformed that the panelling inside peeled of its snaps. To make things worse, since we just got the car we still do not have comprehensive insurance and the driver who hit me looked like he can barely afford a meal. When I met with the owner, he lived in a shanty. What can you do?

A new door from the casa cost 16,500 while it cost 10,000 at Good Gear. Surpluses are very, very rare.

I seemed to have lost interest in my car. I do not even have the desire to wash it now.

A few days after I tried to kick the door from the inside (after I removed the panelling, of course) to shape it back a little so, at the least, it would not protrude inside. It helped a little. I saw that it had a really stiff side impact beams with a diameter of about 1 1/2 inch. I guess, that absorbed all the impact and made the damaged minimal. The only the did not work was the lock, so I just disengaged it from the handle outside. At least, it is a comfort to know the Sedonna has this.

utakabo: I think I need your help. Can you please pm me Jay Castillos number. Maybe he can help me find a cheaper surplus door. I would also like to ask for the address of your talyer in antipolo. Thanks in advance.

Hi Tsikoteers,

Has anybody in this thread experienced problems with their transmissions? I have a local Carnial 2000 Model with Automatic Transmission. Kapag malamig pa ung engine ok naman ung hatak niya but when umiinit na nawawala na ung power.

Stuck na ako sa first gear and reverse. Ipainagawa ko naman sa mechanic. Bumili ako ng rebuilding kit thinking na ok na ung problem. After installation, ganun pa rin. Sabi naman sa akin ung speed sensor daw. Replace ko na din. Still no effect.

Ngayun naman ang sabi sa akin sira na daw ung differential ko and drive shaft. Medyo frustrating na dahil aside from the gastos, 1 month ko na din hindi nagagamit ung carnival.

Baka may maitutulong kayo. Baka may alam din kayo na pwede kuhaan ng surplus parts for carnival in metro manila.

Thanks in advance.

BOQUITO: Are you from Antipolo area like UTAKABO? Lemme know if ever you decide to check out his talyer in Antipolo i might tag along with you so we can get a good discount if ever....I'm from Marikina btw .

I also have Jay Castillo # UTAKABO gave it to me 09177448113 . I tried to contact him but he hasnt replied yet......

KCarnival:

Ano na mileage ng carnival mo? Nakapagpalit ka na ba ng timing belt mo?
Had that symptoms before with my carnival, pag mainit na ang makina ay nawawalan ng hatak, even ang aircon ay humina at bumababa ang RPM.

We,ve found out na jumped na pala ang timing belt at may signs of breakage na kaya palyado na ang takbo niya. Funny thing is that hindi siya nagbebelch ng black smoke kaya hindi namin naisip na it may be related sa timing belt.

Changed my timing belt and all the tensioners and bearings last june (parts and labors amounted to 12,500) and since then ay okay na. Logged 10k kms na walang problema. Have your timing belt checked ASAP, mahirap ng maputulan at baka matuloy sa major overhaul.

[jabr]

KCarnival:

Akala ko rin ng ma experience ko yung ganyang symptom, na yung tranny ko na ang may problema kaya dinala ko sa casa for OBD, kaso walang nakitang problema sa computer. Nalaman na lang namin na wala na sa timing/palyado ng buksan namin ang makina for timing belt replacement. HTH.

I'm sorry to hear about your accident, boquito. Anyway, welcome to the forum, and I hope that the damage to your Carnival can be remedied without too much financial burden on your part.

...Has anybody in this thread experienced problems with their transmissions? I have a local Carnival 2000 Model with Automatic Transmission. Kapag malamig pa ung engine ok naman ung hatak niya but when umiinit na nawawala na ung power...

May nabanggit si diesoline dati na issue related sa engine temperature sensor na may kinalaman sa degradation in performance ng makina. Ewan ko lang kung pareho kayo ng problema, pero eto yung link sa post nya --> http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showt...sor#post802199 It's on page 87 of this thread.

boquito,

you're experience is nothing to mine on our carnival and still were keeping it. well maybe for 2 more years or so.

here are the experiences from worst to bad:

- broke down on a small province in pampanga (floridablanca to be exact) on my way home, at night. tow truck came all the way from manila and we had to pay 5k to get it towed at our house. turned out my alternator bearing gave way affecting everything. alternator, power steering and water pump. it even snapped the fan belt. the moment the belt snapped was scary. heard a loud snapping noise and the steering wheel became heavy. and the engine died. so also the brakes became heavy so i had to use the parking brake so slow down the car. had to wait five hours for the tow truck to arrive.

reason why the alternator bearing gave way? dunno. it started acting up weeks ago but i did not immediately paid attention. that's what i got for ignoring it

- december 05' started to notice a grinding noise on the left side of the engine. posted it here and everyone concluded that it was the dreaded timing chain. brought it to signet edsa and they confirmed it. left the van for two days and paid a bill of 35k.

- we bought this van back in 2003 for 600k after only 3 years, the resale value has been reduced to half.



************************************************** *****

have you guys experienced your headlight lenses turning yellow?

ive also seen a couple of gen1 carnivals and sedonas that suffered from the same fate. had it cleaned at eclipse enterprises * banawe. cost me 600 for each headlight. they did a pretty good job. sorry no pics. hehehe..

also replaced the fog lamp bulb. mahal pala ng isa non! 400 each.

paps san ka nag paayos ng bearing sa alternator mo? I just got my carnival from my suking talyer, naputol ang timing belt, so kailangan i top overhaul. basag ang 2 rocker arm, 3 valves ang may singaw, palit lahat ng valve seals and nag palit na rin ako nung dalawang fan belt. still nakakarining ako ng whining sound sa may engine ko.

Mga sirs, hindi po akin yung talyer, mukhang namis-interpret po yung post ko. meron lang po akong dinadalhang talyer na ok naman gumawa. pwede ko po kayong samahan kung kailangan. it is located along the hiway going to teresa just in front of flying v. the proprietor is willy. i can pm you his number if you're interested.

Boquito: the number above is correct, kakakausap ko lang kay jay and nagkausap na rin daw sila ni kenzie. ok kausap yan bro.


btw, the operator of the bus that hit me is giving me the run around when i insisted that my car be serviced in a shop of my choice, any advice that you can give me guys?

Nagpalit na ako ng timing belt and the chain. Mga 4 months ago. original parts pa ang ginamit ko so i doubt it kung ung timing belt ang problem. Actually, pina check ko din ito sa casa and lumabas sa computer na may problem nga sa tranny. Ang frustrating lang na part is after I rebuilt the tranny, ganun pa din ung problem.

Baka may alam kayo na surplus parts supplier. Nakita ko on previous threads na may mga taga Marikina pala dito. Taga Marikina din kasi ako.
