The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[altec]

I keep mine at 32 PSI, front and rear and wear seems even.

Bro, you won't notice the difference if your tread is still thick and aligned that leads to even wear inside and out. Either you have a tread depth gauge or when your tire is worn out is when you can better determine if through tire wear, if you are underinflated or overinflated.

ever since we bought the van, i always maintained 35 psi on all tires. i add 2 psi for the spare.

since were talking about tires, pansin ko yung spare ko nagmarka na yung steel bar sa sidewall. naka-korte na talaga. its because of the heat i guess? malapit kasi sa main muffler yung spare. how bout you guys?

Hi there,

My Kia Car is due for 50K PMS, does anybody maintain list of items that need to be checked in the PMS? Thanks in advance.

Hi Jabr,

Do you bring your Kia Car in Kia Binan for maintenance? Any feedback re service quality?

Hello Guys,

I maintain my tires (Dunlop lemans RV) to 38psi cold. At 35 medyo underinflated ang dating. This is my second set of Dunlops so tantiado ko na ang ride and feel at that tire pressure. Sa long drives (highway) ok din ang 38 dahil pag uminit ang goma it will reach 40psi.

tnx

Hindi ba masyado matagtag pag 38psi? I have the same tires (as recommended dito sa forum) which I bought last Nov 2005 and I keep mine at 34. Tama nga it looks underinflated at 34 but for me its a smoother ride pero I just might consider your recommendation given that this is already your second set of lemans RV.

BTW, my ride is a 2002 Carnival Park II - two-tone black and silver.

It's nice to be back in the forum, it's been a while.

Anyone here can recommend me where I can have my AC for general cleaning? I heard that it costs around 6k kapag sa casa.

gud pm to all 'im verywell and the reason i registered in this forum is because i'm planning to buy a carnival actually i already saw one a pearl white carnival park II model 2005, as they say, but before i close a deal i would like to seek your expert advices since its been i while that i regularly visited this forum and learned a lot from you guys like i read once that there's a grey market for this kind of van. this van has a selling price of 650k. is it a bargain price? other description of the van are 1. a colored built-in tv 2. leather seats 3. captain's seat 1st and 2nd row, though i noticed it has a kilmeter reading of about 38t pls share with me your opinions ty.

Yup, mine has indentations from the tire carrier too. I've thought about keeping the spare at a lower pressure to minimize this, since I carry a portable air pump anyway... just haven't gotten around to doing it. Also, I am scheduled to replace my spare maybe next year, as it is still one of the original Kumho tires from 2002 --malapit na siguro sya mag-expire.

You mean aside from the checklist in your owners manual? Pwede ka siguro tumawag sa casa para mag-inquire tungkol dito, at para magpa-estimate na rin ng cost. I called up three service centers to get the best deal on my 150,000-km timing belt replacement.

...pearl white carnival park II model 2005... selling price of 650k. is it a bargain price?...it has a kilmeter reading of about 38t

Is this a gas-powered or a diesel Sedona we're talking about? If it's a diesel, P650k for a one-year old vehicle sounds reasonable, although the mileage is a little high. Make a thorough inspection of the unit and check the casa service history to aid you in your decision. Also compare prices of similar units in the classified ads. Happy hunting.

[verywell]

sir mikey177 thanks actually its diesel if i remember its a 2.9 dohc though not sure my only apprehension is it's dosen't looked like a 2005 model i read somewhere in the thread that the diesel engines of the newer models (2003 above has already a crdi capability m'i correct)

Ericm,

Depends on the roads you travel dito sa Las pinas smooth asphalt most of the time anroute ng carnival. Iwas BF subdivision dahil sa dami ng humps. So 38 feels ok. Not to harsh not to soft ang ride.

PAg talagang dadaan sa BF hinay hinay lang sa mga humps. Also, my driving style is smooth, nice and easy. So hindi talaga ramdam ang tagtag. I even make it a point to shift gears (manual tranny ang carnival ko) in a way that my passengers would not feel the change (suave ba).

Now pag highway driving at magisa ako, minsan lumalabas ang pagka colin macrae ko. So pag mainit na yung goma ok sa long straight drives. Pag may curbada naman, tama lang ang tigas na gusto ko sa suspension. Sa tagal mo ng gamit malalaman mo ang limit sa curves. PAg malapit na sa mga towns and barangays, balik sa mild mannered driving. Heheheh

Of course I will miss all that now that I'm in singapore.


tnx rodski
