The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[mcnubla]

hello mga tsikoteers.....may question ulit ako as usual..hehehehe


pag nagpalinis ba ng aircon kailangan pang baklasin ung dashboard?? to access the blower, etc.?

how about the blower, pwede ko ba sya ma DIY na baklasin?

ung aircon ko kasi pag ung sa harap ang nakabukas, di sya lumalamig....lalamig na lang sya pag binuksan ko din ung rear ac....

tnx

hindi binaklas yung dashboard ko although tinangal yung compartment and yung console ng radio. super lamig aircon ko ngayon!

if you need help, dahil mo kay aves sa may sto.domingo, QC. look for ronnie. tell him nirefer kita.

3K for interior detailing is a good deal considering na malaki ang interior ng carnival...

check mo sa Fronte sa banawe kung meron sila interior trims kung wala bka pwede nila order sa korea...

sa mga wheels naman are you looking for carnival magwheels or sedona magwheels?? yung orig carnival mag wheels may nakikita ako sa mga traders ng gulong mga 6k to 9k ang presyo isang set na yung pang sedona wala pa ako nakita sa 2nd hand

sir yapoy, natatandaan nyo pa ho ba kung saan nyo nakita yung original mags ng carnival na 6k-9k? thanks.

sir mcnubla

yung sa Sedona ko i-tinrade in ko noon sa Evengelista Makati. Baka nandoon pa. Medyo maayos pa yon. Paggaling ka ng Pasay Road nasa left. Nasa corner yung nagbebenta ng gulong at mga mags nakalimutan ko na lang yung pangalan.

Meron pala akong mga bagong additional contact numbers ng mga merong hard to find carnival/sedona parts:

Felson c/o of Edmar (8323547): near Goodgear in Taft near Edsa; mas kumpleto pa sa Goodgear medyo mas mahal lang. Sabihin mo lang kay Edmar na nagtanong ka na sa Goodgear at tatapatan niya.

Multimotors c/o Evan (7411118): Near Fronte at Banawe, meron silang axel parts na wala na akong nakita sa mga old reliable suppliers. Medyo mas mahal nga lang.

[boquito]

I looked for a replacement motor in the automotive shops here in Urdaneta, but they had none that was suitable for the Carnival/Sedona. Ano pa kaya ang pwedeng solusyon sa problema ko na ito?

Sir Mikey: I am glad that you still decided to keep your Sedona. I had the same problem by aircon mechanic just replaced the carbon brush and cleaned it though. It is fine now. I hope it works for you.

[boquito]

Mga sirs, talaga ho bang mabagal ang pick-up ng kia carnival? hirap kasi carnival ko pag akyatan. kahit flyover lang, kailangan todo ko tinatapakan yung accelerator.

sir mcnubla: Irecommend ko talaga yung intake manifold cleaning lalo na sa mga bumili ng preowned.

Matinding akyatan lang din ang problem ng sedona ko before cleaning. Parang mamatayan ng makina. Pag nagpaclean ka yung baklas yung intake manifold para pati yung papasok sa engine block malinis (susungkitin). After 50,000 km yung dalawang chamber sa engine block ko halos 25% percent na lang na lang ang openning bago linisin.

[boquito]

totoo bang babagsak sa emission test pag dinisable yung egr? yung nabasa ko kasi sa wikepedia about egr, usually daw babagsak sa emission test pag na disable yung egr dahil sa NOX emission. Also, mag cclog din daw yung egr passage sa engine pag dinisable yung egr.

sir carnibal: Yung sa EGR ko, pinablock ko lang para nagwowork pa rin yung mga parts at pwede kong ibalik pag meron ng masmagandang alternative na sa EGR Block off. Wala naman akong problem sa emission test. Medyo maganda pa nga ang result. Dahil siguro hinde kasi kasama sa test sa atin ang NOX.

Thanks sir Boquito sa reply. I'll have my intake manifold cleaned soon. Kaya naman siguro sa mga friendly neighboorhood gas stations? tapos ppa block ko narin yung EGR. Meron bang blocking plate na kailangan pa kapag nagpablock ng EGR?

Nga pala, napalagyan ko na ng fan yung intercooler. nilagay sa hood, dun sa me hood scoop. sakto yung size. Not really sure, pero parang mas malakas mag overtake ngayon. hehe

[mcnubla]

sir boquito,

salamat sa input. tingnan ko sa weekend yung mags. sana mura lang ibenta!

[ericp]

I've been lurker in this forum and found it very informative

Anyway, we'd like to get a secoond hand carnival...preferrably white or beige.

I'd appreciate if you can point me to a reasonably decent prospect. Thanks and keep it up!

sir carnibal: Dapat kaya nila. Dapat lang hinde nagmamadali yung gumagawa. Kailangan kasi tiatiagain nila yung pag sungkit. Yun namang plate, yung sa akin finabricate lang mula sa lata ng oil can. Ang laki ng difference ang accumulation ng "gunk."
Noon after four months makapal na naman ulit ngayon even after six months halos mga 2mm lang at mas malabnaw.

[yapoy86]

*mcnubla: wala na yung mags dun sa tindahan na nakita ko eh.. medyo matagal na din kasi baka na benta na.. IMO mas maganda mag wheels ng sedona kesa carnival..

RE: EGR better have it blocked off.. its function is only to minimize NOX by introducing inert gas (exhaust gas) due to too oxygen rich AIR provided by the TURBO.. another one causing intake gunk with carnival (and most diesel or gas engine) is the PCV tube.. oil mist comes with the crankcase ventilation tube (blowby gas) then goes to your intake resulting to oil deposits.. (with EGR ON it will form gunk oil-carbon mixture)

you may have your PCV tube hanging underneath but you have to place an oil catcher or like what i did to fabricate an oil separator...

[carnibal]

yun po bang egr tube ng 1st gen carnival ay yung tube na connected below the heating coil sa me harap? about 1-1 1/2 yung diameter? if not, ano po kaya yun at san located yung egr?

thanks

[carnibal]

sorry double post

Quick help po...how do i take out the spare tire kia carnival 2000? anybody online? help po ASAP...thanks in advance

I don't know if the 2000 model uses this method, but for the 2002 Carnival, you first open the rear tailgate, then unscrew the round plastic thingy using the flat tip of the OEM tire wrench. The plastic thingy is about the size of an old 5 peso coin, and it is located in the rear compartment, where the ribbed plastic scuff pads are. Removing this round plastic cover reveals the nut that you must turn to lower the bracket that the spare tire rests on.

Hope this helps.

tnx sa mga nag reply re: the aircon.....nabaklas ko rin ung blower at nilinis na rin..kapal ng alikabok..hehehehe


anyways...another problematic question..long read, here it goes...

last wed, coming from marikina and going to work(somewhere in pasay)...

while i was going down the libis flyover...namatay ung carnival...inisip ko na baka na release ko lang ung clutch too early while going 1st gear..so i started the car.....then nung nasa bagong airport na ako, ung long stretch ng road...i was driving around 60-70kph here.....the car died again...dito medyo kinabahan na ako...but still, i decided to start the car again while in motion..then it started, car moved a few meters then it died again....while in motion again i tried starting it..but it just crank....then i tried the thing where u put it in first gear..then it started then died...then i decided to call it quits then went to the side of the road...thinking na baka timing belt na....

but while inside the car, i smell something burning...di ko na pinansin..thinking it might be the Tbelt...so i decided to have the car towed sa parking ng work ko....

then nung gabi, lilipat ko sana ung carnival sa ibang parking space....while my wife was inside the car(sya magda drive ako magtutulak with a cousin..hehehe) i told her to turn the key sa "on" position ung nakailaw ung mga icon sa gauge....then i told her to switch the hazard light also...so nung tinutulak na namin..she and i smell something burning..check ko agad makina..wla naman..then i saw few smokes sa driver side where the fuses are located...so i took out the key then turn the hazard switch off also....

then binaklas ko ung panel sa fuse part, not the cover but the whole panel..then i saw a strand of wires burnt....may series ng wire malapit sa fuses where ung blue wire na makapal ang nasunugan.....decided to turn the key sa "on" position and also the hazard light..dito nagloloko na icon ng gauge..then while hazard light is on it made this weird almost like buzz sound....then wire was burining again....so i decided to stop...

hay haba kwento....
anyways..----any of u guys might know what caused it? bakit nasusunog ung wire?
----also, is there anyway to check if the timing belt really broke?
----anybody knows kung meron kayong mga kakilala na electrician na pwede mag service near pasay, roxas blvd area?


tnx

[mikey177]

kenzie,

Here is a photo of the spare tire access cover thingy that I was trying to describe:



Ganito rin ba yung layout sa Carnival mo?

**********

celd15b,

The problem you are describing seems more electrical in nature than timing belt related. Wala kayang nagalaw na mga wiring sa dashboard nung nilinis yung aircon mo?

Your best recourse is really to have the van checked by an electrician who is familiar with the Carnival. Sorry, but I do not know of any in your area.

[kenzie]

Mikey thanks for the quick reply...actually magkaiba yung layout pero hindi naman rocket science hehehe mas malakit pa nga yung sa 2000 model .... naayos na po kagabi .... thanks for your help

now the other part of the story heheh i need to change my tires dahil un na flat kagabi sumabog na dahil oblong na....

Dunlop lemans and yokohama geolandars as far as i remember ang reco dito...any other brands na mas mura also where can i get it ( marikina/qc area) thanks for any help again.

sir mikey thanks for your time as always......merry xmas

[mcnubla]

Sir mintoy, pwede ko pong malaman kung saan ka nagpalinis ng EGR? sa kia new manila kasi its 900+ daw and then 1,800 yung turbo. thanks.

[leolop]

haven't posted for a long time. for everyone's reference Dunlop ec 201 215/70r15s from Ben's OK at Banawe (tel. no. 732-1595) is at P3,250 each. Includes mounting, balancing and rotation. baka pwede pang tumawad.
