hi there,

Got a "donation" to replace my 5tires in my Kia Carnival so I want to dispose the old ones in one shot, Guaranteed No "pigsa" and makapal pa talaga. Please post your best offer or pm me.

Details are the following;
Bridgestone r263
205x17r15

salamat.

generic boy & ericm,

thanks for the inputs guys.. had it checked by my suking electrician this morning. turns out the connector of the i.c regulator snapped off. i had the belts tightened a week ago by signet edsa. siguradong sila ang nakasira nuon.

my carnival is also pushing 50,000 kms. maybe i should also have my alternator's carbon brush checked.

Hi there,

May I know what could probably causing my sliding door to be hard to pull/open? Need to replace the rubber lang ba? I applied wd40 but to no avail. My ride is a Kia Carnival.
Thanks in advance.

hinlog,

Baka nag-build up lang yung dumi sa rollers ng sliding door... check mo yung roller mechanism sa ilalim ng sliding door, dapat malinis ito para smooth na makagulong ang roller sa track nya. Kung may dumi, buhangin o iba pang bara, mahirap isarado ang pinto.

Kung malinis naman yung rollers, try having the door cable adjusted either at the casa or by a knowledgeable mechanic. Nangyayari din yan sa passenger side sliding door ko kasi yung ibang nagbubukas, hindi alam kung paano sya isara... sinusubukan nilang itulak lang yung pinto na hindi dine-deactivate yung automatic locking latch kaya nawawala sya sa tamang adjustment. In comparison, my driver side sliding door opens almost effortlessly since it is used less often.

After spraying with wd40, wipe clean both upper and lower slide mechanism of the sliding door. Then apply grease on all joints, bearings, that makes the door slide. That's what I did to both doors, and very smooth ang slide niya. But that was last year! This year, pansin ko rough na ang slide niya. 1 year na rin kasi eh!

also, when sliding the doors and you hear a rough sound sa bearings... it means kailangan na linisin ung mga bearings and railings. Madalas dumumi ito kapag humid or pag umuulan and pag dusty ung environment.

May nakita ako nanasira ung door handle... so conting force lang sa pag open when you are outside. Mas madali buksan ang stock sliding door pag nasa loob ka to apply some force.

Also, does it happen most of the time or minsan lang. Kung consistent, maybe the lock mechanism stocks... try to clean and apply grease.

Hi there,

Thanks Peeps for all your suggestions, I sprayed anew WD40 and wipe clean both upper and lower slide mechanisms of the sliding door and it worked.

Hi, Question, is the Kia Sedona a good car? An agent i met is selling a brand new sedona (not the new 2006 model) for 900+, is it a good buy?

Thread too long to look through as i am a little lazy. hehe.

some like myself consider it as the best decision we've made in purchasing a a car, but there are sometimes different considerations for each person. we were all set to purchase a brand new hyundai starex through a car loan, but after reading throught this thread, i made a big turn around and went eyes closed for a second hand carnival and never looked back since.

my advice, if your're serious about investing almost a million bucks, then there's nothing like getting info first hand BY READING THROUGH THE THREAD. it's probably a 4 hour endeavor but i assure you its worth it for a serious buyer.

just a note, most of those here have a diesel version, i'm just guessing but you may want to find out if the one you're looking at is a gas version since kia phased out the the diesels some time back. gas version has a reputation of being a guzzler.
