The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

**benchph1** · October 13th, 2006 11:21 AM

sa signet ko na rin ipinagawa yung carnival.

hopefully sa saturday daw makukuha. and sana walang makitang iba pang sira.

funny. left side sliding door handle din ang nasira sa akin. i've posted it on this thread before. iba ang handles ng carnival sa sedona, according to them. but im dumbfounded to see the difference. maybe sa loob. and, when you buy a door handle kasama na yung plastic garnish which comes black from the factory so youll have to paint it to match the body color.

one door handle assembly costs 1,200.

Thanks benchph1. Kia Delta told me the same thing, that the base comes in black and needs to be repainted to match the color of the vehicle. If the part cost you PHP 1,200, how much did Signet charge for the repainting and installation?

nakakaasar kasi people who are not familiar with opening the sliding door's mechanism tend to make puwersa if they can't open it the right way.

3 days after i got the carnival (2nd hand) the lever of the driver door broke. the replacement at the casa was a little over P500.

as for the sliding door, mahirap talaga buksan. the best method i've found is to pull at the handle while simultaneously pushing outward with the elbow

For folks looking for Carnival sliding door handle-driver side, my father-in-law bought one at P500- at Fronte.

repaint and installation is free. they mismatched the color though.

hi am really new here and would like to ask your opinion about my idea of getting a used kia carnival, preferably a local version, first how do i know if it is a local unit or as they say surplus, second how many of you have clock over a 100kms am looking into a diesel pref matic second prob manual , am just afraid of some forums which i saw a lot saying that the diesel engines had a design flaw which before reaching the 100kms odometer reading would have problems about the cylinders moving out of place which eventually mixes oil and water and of course having to have engine reworked as in the sleeves or cylinders set right again , have been thinking of getting one of the used carnivals, but recently settled for a kia pregio matic instead , i stumbled across this forum and seems you are so many and still happy with your carnivals thought i could seek some advice about this before i finally do get one and just want to know that i am not going to get myself into troubles and headaches. thanks

hi,

you can also try CarCon in Proj 3, the owner Loloy personally oversees the work...medyo maliit lang yung place pero his clients are primarily around Katipunan. I could not locate his number but his location is 100m away from McDo, dun sa may mga nakaparadang tricycle, itanong mo lang ang CarCon.

hope this helps.

Hi beejay.

The surest way of knowing that the Carnival/Sedona you are getting is a local unit and not a grey market one is by asking for a copy of the sales invoice and warranty records issued by the casa.

I have a 2002 manual tranny Sedona with the normal turbodiesel intercooler engine, di pa uso CRDI nun. I have travelled 151,000 km with this vehicle to date. My regular route is from Urdaneta City to Tarlac City and back. No unscheduled repairs have been made to the engine. I have had the timing belt replaced twice (both scheduled maintenance items). My only major hassle was when the shifter cable broke about two years ago (search the earlier pages of this thread, andun ang kuwento). I had my front evaporator replaced two weeks ago when I had a general aircon cleaning done --there was a pinhole leak that was causing the aircon to lose cooling efficacy every 3 months.

If you can get a 2nd gen Sedona (2002 model and up) instead of the 1st gen Carnival, that would be better IMO, as some improvements were made in the 2nd gen such as sturdier oil pump chain (according to casa service advisor), lock open sliding doors, etc.
