The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[hinlog]

Hi guys!

nabenta na ung 01 LS carnival namin. I didn't meet the buyer kasi OFW na ako :D
Hope the owner will be happy with it and not give them headaches.


Dami ko ring adventures and mis-adventures with that van. Carrying 12 persons without breaking a sweat, Blasting countless starex vans on the hiway (no pun intended :P) , Taking it for a scheduled oil change and having the exhaust pipes cleaned, Driving it for hours without feeling tired, and most of all me complaining of body ache after a day of washing and cleaning the red van. Point is, i enjoyed owning the car.

hinlog,

dexron II-E ang specified ps fluid for canivals/sedonas. you will see it in your owners manual.

Thanks Benchp1,

The hold indicator problem was gone, the mechanic just replaced the ATF
and adjusted Kia Car TPSensor.

tnx

[praetor91313]

Can anyone suggest a good shop here in Paranaque? Yung nasa sucat or bicutan lang sana...

Thanks po!

The Sedona LS is the high-end automatic tranny model with all the bells and whistles. The Sedona RS has a manual tranny and less features.

Hmn... I just bought a second-hand sedona. There's an "RS" at the back but it's automatic.

Bakit kaya?

Badtrip, the engine's so quiet, I didn't know it has already started. I tried starting again and there was this rough grinding noise when I twisted the key kaya I immediately released it again!! Hope nothing's broken...

[benchph1]

praetor,

Baka gas engine ang sayo. alam ko me available din ng A/T for RS. ang wala lang diyan ay ABS, Airbag and other power features.

[praetor91313]

Oh.

Thanks!

Grabe, akala ko may patay na daga sa aircon ko.

Ang baho ng buga ng hangin! I'm trying out leaving some charcoal inside, sana mawala na.

Na-try ko kagabi yung chlorox, iniwan ko na nakalagay sa planggana. Pagbukas ko kinabukasan amoy chlorox pero after turning on the fan, ayun na naman yung mabahong amoy. Well, I read somewhere na dapat chlorine crystals and tinitimpla, kaya lang di ko alam kung saan hahanapin yun e.

May apat na na ambi-pur sa exhaust ng aircon sa harap. Walang kwenta, sayang lang P400.

According to my research, pwede din daw spray ng lysol an g evaporator para matanggal mga fungus at microbes dun kaya lang di ko alam kung nasaan ang evaporator. Tsaka days lang daw may amoy na ulit pag ganun e.

May nabasa din ako na frigi-something spray. Years daw bago bumalik ang amoy. Try ko maghanap sa ACE hardware bukas tapos papalinisan ko sa mekaniko yung evaporator.

Mahirap ba hanapin at linisin yun?

[carnibal]

parang me nakita na ako ganyan sa Concorde SM north edsa. pro haven't tried it yet.

[praetor91313]

Frigi-Fresh pala.

Yes! I'll try to go there before having my evaporator cleaned, para sabay spray na din.

Thanks!

[benchph1]

praetor,

instead of "covering" up the smell, why don't you just look for the source? and take it from there.

i have a hunch sa evaporator yan.

[praetor91313]

I just had the alarm changed and a reverse sensor installed at Evangelista. Hay naku... I wouldn't recommend going there except to buy the materials cheap, pero sa installation you'll just get frustrated.

During the reverse sensor's installation, they were forcefully removing the left tail light, higit lang nang higit hanggang bumigay. Tapos while drilling the bumper so they can insert the sensor, nagmamadali pa din yung nag-install, ang dami tuloy gasgas dahil lumalampas yung driller nya!

I just found out today na kulang na yung nilagay nya na turnilyo sa bumper! I tried looking for it kaya lang di ko na makita.

During the alarm's installation naman ganun din. Hinihila yung mga panels sa ilalim ng dashboard sa driver's side hanggang bumigay! The installer had some difficulty sa panel na may parking break release dahil nakaharang yung release knob. Hala, hila nang hila pero ayaw talaga. Finally nung napagod na sya dun lang nya sinubukan tingnan kung bat ayaw bumigay, may screw pala sa parking break kaya hanap sya ng screw driver saka tinanggal muna yung parking break release knob.

Tapos install na sya ng alarm... nagmerienda na ko nun tapos tinawag na lang ulit ako nung tapos na. I asked for the alarm's box para iuwi. When I got home, I saw that they didn't install the alarm's speaker(?). Bale ang naka-install pa din yung lumang speaker.

I generally don't argue with people who take care of my vehicle, baka lalong sirain e. I just let them finish then never return to their shop again.

[praetor91313]

I also had the horns replaced at Valley 1 here in sucat. Nahihinaan ako sa horn nya e.

When they looked at it, bosch na pala sya na all black ang color. I told them, okay na yun, di ko na lang papapalitan. Aba, nagkandarapa sila bigla at naglabas ng bosch na red ang color, airmaster yata. They claimed it was louder then my current horn.

E nandun na ko so I told them, sige pa-install na.

When I got their bill, P1,500 sya. I tipped them P100 sabi ko hati-hati na lang sila, pangmerienda. Di sila makatingin sa kin nang diretso and I wondered why, he he he...

I looked for the horn's box and for my old horn dahil nilagay ko talaga sila sa counter para iuwi. Di ko na makita. I told myself, okay lang kanila na yun ikakakalat ko lang naman sa bahay e.

I got home and I was hapy with my horn dahil mas malakas nga kaysa sa dati.

I was looking for tints at sulit.com when I saw several shops selling the same color and type of horn for P800.

Ha ha ha! Malas talaga...

So anyways, does any of you have a regular shop or know of one which is located here in Paranaque?

Parang magulo kasi ang traffic sa pasay kaya I'm holding off going to goodgear until I really have to.

[praetor91313]

praetor,

instead of "covering" up the smell, why don't you just look for the source? and take it from there.

i have a hunch sa evaporator yan.

Yup, the other forums say it's because of the fungus and bacteria in the evaporator.

I'm trying out their advise to keep the evaporator dry with the use of moisture absorbers and by having the fans run for about 3 minutes before I turn off the airconditioning and it's working naman po.

The problem is when it's raining and the vents above the hood which catch rain water gets wet, andyan na naman yung amoy.

I'll observe for another week, pag di nawala, dadalhin ko na kay ceejay sa las pinas.

[utakabo]

hi praetor, welcome. kia cars are notorious for having weak horns and they only have one instead of the usual pair (even the new ones i think, iisa pa rin ang busina). what i did to my carnival was to replace the original horn with surplus (forgot the brand, but they are good ones). cost me 500 php.

Hi! my cousin owns a KIA CARNIVAL (A/T) kaya lang di ako sure kung anong model, lately puro sira siya (sakitin na ata ).

Hingi po sana ako ng recommendations about:
1) Saan mura bumili ng OEM Parts?
2) Saan magaling gumawa ng Carnival na A/T?

TIA!

normally they just change rebuilding kit that can cost you around 16k plus 12k labor, but, how about if:
1. the sensor is not working that will cost you around 5k, 2. valve body is not working cost is around 8k, 3. gear is burned out that will cost you around 3.5k per gear, 4. excluding labor cost.

i've canvassed for 2 consecutive months on shops elsewhere and internet forums for an automatic transmission of kia carnival, since i'm an owner of kia carnival 2002, that reverse has been not backing up anymore & no power on acceleration that cost ranging from 34k to 55k form fronte banawe, goodgear pasay, shops in bf, bulacan, las pinas, pampanga surplus and other places.

good thing ive found "evangelos auto repair shop" located in 3 crispina ave, pamplona 3, las pinas, with tel# 4072358, 8716251, 09204029044. they just charge me for 25k only all-in, they change rebuilding kit, gear of reverse, atf 3 with free carwash vacuum and engine wash in 2 days only. personnel are so hospitable with big vicinity covered shop.

just want to share my experience so you won't spend time and money canvassing and found out they just over charge you. this is my way of appreciation who did a very good job on my unit.

kenzie, have your crankshaft pulley checked possible its already slipping causing poor brake assist.. if crankshaft pulley is OK have your vacuum booster lines checked for leaks and also check your vacuum assist pump (located at the back of alternator) for vacuum strength and if possible have it cleaned..

mintoy, try changing your ATF first prior doing any transmission overhaul.. try first other possible cause of the problem like loose connections, cable adjustments, etc.. success rate for Automatic transmission overhaul is very low.. so if i were you it will not be included in my list.. if you could find a surplus automatic transmission that will be good instead of having it overhauled by casa..

mga sirs... unfortunately, i have another problem with my carnival and this time its the worst problem. after replacing the air filters, oil filters, fuel filters, ATF, cleaning intake manifold, cleaned turbo, replaced injectors... the cause of the problem is the automatic transmission.

hirap kasing humatak yung sasakyan ko... kailangan tapakan ko madiin yung accelerator para pumick-up... most of the time pinipindot ko pa yung hold or overdrive para bumilis. sobrang mausok din. bumaba ng bumaba yung consumption from 10/ltr to 7.5/ltr to now 5/ltr nalang.

na check na nung wheels sa e.rodriguez and kailangan na daw ibaba yung transmission. nag inquire ako ng bago/surplus na automatic transmission and its P40,000.

ang good news lang is umaandar pa sya kahit paano...

baka po may suggestion ko kung saan ko pwede paayos? iniisip ko sa fronte o kaya sa examiner. kasi sabi ng kasa, kailangan daw ng computer kaya nagdadalawang isip ako.
