The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

verywell,
I have to agree with Mikey177 that the mileage seems to high for a 2005 model kase sa mga ibang nakaka-usap ko usual mileage per year is about 10k kms per year. Unless na lang yung carnival na bibilin mo eh talagang malayo ang biyahe araw - araw. Yung akin 41k in 4 yrs.

verywell,

I-check mo sa registration papers at sales invoice kung anong model yung sasakyan. Si diesoline 2003 o 2004 ang Sedona nya at CRDI na yung makina nun. I just don't know if Kia continued to sell non-CRDI Sedona units even after it introduced its CRDI engine.

Rodski,

Lemans max tire pressure is over 35? Kasi so far, the Dunlop EC type and the orig hankook all have 35 max psi.

IIRC, the max pressure indicated on the sidewall of this tire is 44 PSI. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks po for the advice I have just confirmed from the seller that the van (carnival park II) is an imported unit being the owner registered under a korean guy. The CR indicated a 2005 model but who knows what model or year it really is. My last question is, is there a way to check the true year/model of this van maybe by the looks of the front grill maybe or tail lights or dashboard? or at least a series which I can use to estimate the true age of this van. pls. i need your advice before I buy this Carnival Park II? thanks a lot.

Hey guys,

I never checked the fine print on the side walls of the tires. The manual says 35 PSI. The original kumho tire sa 44psI max. So when I switched to dunlop I started at 40psi then 36 then I settled at 38psi. Experiment ba. tumagal yung first set for a long time. 15K kms yung kumho pinalitan ko na ng dunlop. I just change to new dunlops last july at 77K kms. ganoon pa rin at 38 psi. Close to 4 years ang estimate ko.
gusto ko pa sana patagalin kaso nag oblong yun isang dunlop dahil sa vulcanizing na pinainit. malaki yung butas a few years back. So pinalitan ko na lahat last june.

SO warning sa dunlop huwag ninyo pa vulcanize ng de plantsa. ooblong pag malapit na maupod

tnx

rodski

verywell,
Here are pictures of my ride. My ride is a Korean import as well and its called Carnival Park II which I bought 2002. I am not too sure how to verify that but I hope you can see the pictures which you can compare as this is the first time I will be attaching pictures. Hope this helps.

You can PM or contact Lensio. I believe he has access to the Kia vehicle database. Check out this discussion, where he helps leolop determine the age of his Sedona. Kaso, di ko lang alam kung nagpo-post pa sya dito. Baka MIA na sya.

I'm not certain, but I believe the 2003 and higher models have gas lifters to hold the hood open. Yung sa akin kasi (2002 model) steel rod pa yung pang-hold open sa hood. Also, iba yung tail lights ng 2004 model sa naunang model. Yung sa 2002, nasa ilalim yung signal light at sa ibabaw yung brake light.

verywell,
I think personally the 640k is ok but of course you really have to check and ask the owner the history of the van. The player is just a vcd and there is an input rca jack for a dvd player. My carnival has another tv console in the middle for the kids at the back and it has a reverse camera as well. Not too sure though if the camera is a standard from import carnivals.
