The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

stock lang po pala yung sounds ng sedona ko.

Which leads me to another question: may nakita ako sa malugay na xplode na speakers, mukhang kasya dun sa may door tsaka sa likod sa likod ng bench seat. Nililigawan ko si misis para i-upgrade yung stock speakers to xplode.

She asked me this question: sigurado ka bang mas lalakas ang tunog pag pinalitan mo yan?

Kasi nga naman 2.5k yung dalawang speakers, baka negligible naman ang difference nila sa sound quality?

I'm not looking for an extreme set-up po, gusto ko lang gumanda at lumakas pa ng konti yung tunog.. parang di ako satisfied sa lakas ngayon e.

changing the speaker will not necessarily improve the sound output.

since you mentioned na gusto mo palakasin and pagandahin ang tunog, then I guess the way to go is change of head unit. There are plenty of affordable pioneer (cheapest na branded) models na mp3 and that has tweaking options. Yung stock HU of most vehicles has limited control feature na mostly bass and treble lang ang adjustment. The aftermarket HUs like pioneer also has built-in amp feature that will boost the power output, kaya mas louder and clearer ang sound. In basic sound set-up, normal na headunit muna ang pinapalitan since dito pa lang meron na agad noticeable diff sa sound quality.

in case you are not quite comfortable naman to change this (because of the wiring issues, madami takot kalikutin stock radios ng vehicle), you may want to install an amplifier (v12 will do, mga 2k lang yan) para iboost all 4 speakers of your van. From here, you can already notice ang layo ng sound output compared sa stock.

hope this helps.

Thanks!
I'll look into the amplifier you mentioned. Thanks again!

ATTENTION Kia Carnival Davao Tsikoteers...

Thanks to the generosity of jabr, we now have a copy of the repair/service manual.

PM if you want to copy it.

[deejayy_214]

Tuldok lang yang revo when it comes to the power of the J3 engine. no offense to revo owners.

anu bang mga napahiya sakin dati nung nasamin pa ung carnival. civics, corollas, starex's, pajero's, patrol's, revo's. the list goes on.

most notable is a VW caravelle tdi. Di ko siya na road-kill pero pantay na pantay ang power nilang pareho.

isama mo na rin sa listahan ang FORD F-150... 160-170 kph nakipagkarerahan sa kin dito sa probinsiya namin... halos pantay lang kami... pakiramdam ko parang nakalutang na lang yung gulong ko... hehehe... ADRENALINE RUSH...

[paolors]

BTW, recently, i was able to get hold of a copy of the repair/service manual of our ride. Both gasoline (KV6) & diesel (J3) engine. Willing to share it to anyone interested, just PM me. Im from Muntinlupa - San Pedro, Laguna area.

Sir pwede ba pahingi ng copy?
Mga Sir's newbie here, I have a 02 Sedona LS, recently had the timing belt changed together with some engine valve, may singaw daw kasi, when I got the car back, mukhang nagalaw yung aircon, ayaw na kasi umandar ng aircon sa likod, tapos heater lang yung umaandar. Imilaw din pala yung heater dun sa switch ng rear aircon yung sa may controls ng aircon. Baka meron makatulong sa akin, please leave a message. Thanks

[way22]

Hi Paolors, first ano ba yon control mo, digital or analog (rotary). Yun aircon mo sa front, is it ok or di rin lumalamig at heater lang rin. If both are not cooling and only fans are running, then possible na leak at walang na freon. If included fans also not running then possible there is broken wire. Hope this can help.

Hi Jabr, I am interested in the J3 manual, is the manual included the electrical wiring diagrams. Paper copy ba yun manual or digital / computer file. Thanks and how can I get a copy.

Thanks Sir, I still have the analog dial, at the bottom of the dial, the red light indicating the heater is active. When you turn the dial for the aircon in the back the heater turns on. I'll post pics later to show you the problem. The aircon in front is still working fine.

Way 22 & Paolors:

Paper copy lang ang hawak ko. Puede naman ninyong paxerox yung manual, taga muntinlupa-san pedro, laguna nga lang ang area ko.
Wala sa manual yung electrical schematics ng rides natin eh, hindi ako nakakuha ng copy nun.

Thanks Jabr. The reason I ask is that I bought a service manual in CD sometimes ago for Carnival/Sedona but is a European version. It includes the gasoline, J3 and CRDI J3 engine. It got features that is more than what are in my car, an imported 02 Carnival Park II. I just want to look if it will be more compatible to my car. Thanks anyway. BTW, who need a copy can post message. I can send a copy to your posted email address. Its a lot of files in pdf, may be need to send it one by one.

walo ang piston nun. kapag alam kong pwede akong mapahiya, di na ako mag-a-attempt.

mas malakas lang loob mo dun sa f-150 driver

hirap siya sa winding roads sir... hehehe... kaya di siya makahabol... alam ko walo piston nun... kaya nga bilib ako sa kia ko kasi di ako napahiya... malakas loob ko kesa sa driver ng F150? di rin siguro sir, kilala ko yung may ari nung F150 sir... hehehe... siya yung tipong nagagalit pag may nag-oovertake sa kanya... hahaha...

Hi all. newbie here. would just like to ask if may idea kayo how much yung radiator for a 2002 kia sedona?
my father bought this second hand car (3rd hand) last June 23, pero lagi na lang may problema.. we are not sure if yung car talaga eh sirain, or yung mekaniko na pinagkakatiwalaan ni Papa eh hindi talaga katiwa-tiwala!!! for instance kahapon, we're going to tagaytay, but we're still in Dasma, nung maramdaman ni Papa na ang hina ng "batak" at ang itim ng usok if paakyat yung daan.. so we went home and pinatignan dun sa mekaniko.. ang sabi may "clip" something lang daw na natanggal, sorry but i really don't know kung ano tawag dun.. then naging OK.. so we went back to our trip.. we are close to tagaytay, nung makita ni mama na umuusok yung harap.. so overheat naman.. tinawagan ni Papa ulit yung mekaniko to help us. Actually, umpisa pa lang, before kami umalis, si mama and my bro kept on telling my father na lagyan na ng tubig ung sasakyan, but ayaw maniwala.. yung sira kasing mekaniko, ang sinabi ata dati kay Papa and sa bro ko, na wag na wag daw lalagyan ng tubig yung sasakyan!! i really don't now anything about cars, but this piece of advice is i think napaka ewan!!

anyway, so ayun, naayos at natuloy kami sa tagaytay, but nung pauwi na, yung preno naman nagkaroon ng problem, nagsslide daw sabi ni papa.. so ayun, tinawag na naman yung mekaniko na yun to check,. i am just wondering, kailangan ba talagang tanggalin yung 2 gulong sa likod to fix the issue with break?! ganun kasi ginwa nya.. then sinabi nya na may tapal na raw yung radiator, kaya daw siguro binenta.. at kaya daw pala may tagas at laging nagooverheat yung sasakyan.. yun naman ang gusto nyang tignan at ipagawa namin sa kanya.. what bothers us (kaming mga girl members of the family), is bakit nung una pa lang nicheck nya nung umaga, bakit hindi nya pa nakita yung mga naging problema ng sasakyan, like yung tubig na lang.. ganun ba talaga yun, i mean, can't you proactively identify yung mga magiging issue ng sasakyan.. isa pa, namention na rin sa kanya nung isang pinsan ko kanina na baka nga yung radiator may tagas, pero hindi nya nicheck, nung nasa bahay na lang.. tingin tuloy namin, niloloko nya lang kami para lagi syang may trabaho!

gusto sana namin convince na si papa na puntahan yung binilhan ng sasakyan since may talyer din naman yun.. feeling lang kasi namin, ayaw ni papa, dahil ayaw nya ng magalit at manghinayang sa nabili nya.. super gusto lang kasi talga nyang magkaroon kami ng sasakyan..

hai, help naman po, baka you know a trusted and magaling na mekaniko for KIA cars.. from boundary ng imus/gen trias/dasma kami.. we really want to help papa, and maging masaya yung one month vacation nya dito before sya bumalik sa Saudi

ah ganun ba. sabihin na natin na mas "talented" ka dun sa friend mo na mayari nung f-150.

ah kapag winding roads talagang mas sure footed ang mga front wheel drivers kesa RWD's. considering mas mabigat pa ang f-150. pero di nagkakalayo ang weight nilang dalawa ha.

hi eannemay,

i assume you're a girl? hi welcome to the kia carnival forum.

we have recently sold our gen1 (ung hindi sedona) carnival and i thought it was the one that you own right now. but from how you described the condition of the car i'm pretty sure its not ours. I personally maintained that van. So swerte nung nakabili nun.

Mechanics that we (kia carnival owners) know are mostly manila-based. dunno, maybe some of owners here that live in your vicinity may have some recommendations.

Di naman sa mukhang niloloko kayo nung trusted mechanic nung papa niyo, mukha lang wala siyang idea sa pag troubleshoot at paggawa ng kia carnival.

as far as i can remember 5-6k ang brand new replacement (not original) radiator ng carnival. readily available yan sa mga auto supply. Yung preno baka nakababad sa preno ung father mo kaya nagoverheat thus, nag slide. baka mumurahing brake pads ang kinabit dian.

Wag ka mahiya magtanong dito. im sure the other guys can also answer your queries.

[way22]

Hi eannemay, welcome to the forum. I assume you have a diesel sedona. You have to check if you have water and is full. And your reservoir is also fill with coolant or water. Now if you are losing water inside reservoir or radiator very fast with one drive out then there is leak. Check your radiator cap and the hose going to the reservoir that there is no leak before going to the radiator. Then you will need a mechanics or a shop to check for leak test of radiator. Regarding yun hina ang batak and itim ang usok, is it ok after your mechanics fix the "clip"? And to adjust the brake at the back, you really have to remove the wheels but usually this is done after you run for sometimes. I agreed with benchph1 you use a better brake pad or shoe to avoid the slip. Hope this can help.

[francisy2003]

Dear eannemay,

I just change my radiator a month ago for my 2000 carnival diesel manual transmission. It cost me 4,800 pesos for the kia original radiator. May mas mura na replacement less than 4,000 but I'd go for the original if you need to change your radiator. Try calling fronte or goodgear mura lang sila mag benta.

[eannemay]

thanks po sa replies hmm, nasa manila po kasi ko ngayon, umuuwi lang ako cavite pag weekends, and mukhang nasira na naman yung sasakyan, bigla na lang daw ayaw magstart.. lagi na lang may problema. ayaw pa rin ata ni papa papalitan yung radiator, mukhang pwede pa naman daw, or ayaw na rin nyang papalitan dahil narealize nya na parang ewan yung mekaniko nya.. heheh.. kung mgsstart ngayon yung sasakyan, mukhang dadalhin nila papa dito sa manila un sasakyan para dito paayos.. dun daw sa kakilala ng tita ko, kaso di ba medyo kakaiba po ata ang Korean cars.. i mean, kelangan ng expertise something para matroubleshoot to.. or feeling ko lang..

next week na aalis si papa, so ang maiiwan na lang to maintain and drive the car is ung bro ko na 18yrs old pa lang at wala pa ring alam sa pagtroubleshoot.. kaya ako, research na lang magagawa ko kasi di rin ako marunong kahit magdrive..

kung maiisipan po ni papa na bumiling parts, sabihin ko sa goodgear wala po bang auto shop din dun na pwedeng pagpagawaan na rin?!
