The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[civic ef hatch]

Hello po mga sir! This is my first time to post here in the forum, but has been actively surfing with the site for quite some time now. I just purchased a kia carnival 2001 model with 46thousand kilometers on it. It has a 2.9 tdic engine, m/t and runs 10-11 kms per liter, city driving. The suspension was OK! And I really had fun driving it!!!!. It just so happened that after a week of using the van the engine broke down. Sad to say I am currently having my engine overhauled. Boy the parts are very challenging to find and oftentimes more expensive compared to other brands. I had the timing belt, fan belt, cylinder head gasket, oil fiter, fuel filter, valve seal, release bearing and clutch disk replaced and all of them cost me a lot already. darn!!!
I also found out that the previous owner lived near the coastal area cause many of the underchassis parts are already on coated with iron oxide (kalawang). Which i really wasn't able to see when I puchased the car cause it was freshly soaked in undercoat.
I would like to seek for your help where i could find a [SIZE="4"]nossel tip[/SIZE]. Aside from the usual CASA. Cause after having it calibrated they also found out that one of the nossel tips is already busted. If there is anybody there who had this done already with their carnival help me out please.

Things I've learned more in purchasing a car:
1. Know where the car came from, especially from coastal areas.
2. Make sure to bring your mechanic to check the engine.
3. And carefully inspect the "pang-ilalim" of your car.

One thing though, even having this happened to me, Kia Carnival is still GREAT!

shauntot, yung sa akin, when you turn the steering wheel, hindi consistent yung lambot ng power steering niya. As you continue turning, malambot, then titigas, then malambot, then titigas. When I tried the car today, wala na while driving. Pero meron pa when stationary. Its supposed to be malambot all the day, consistent dapat, whether turning left or right. Will observe the next few days again.

Guys, hold ko lang itong statement. Bumalik yung sakit. So I sent the car to the casa. Will check if they are able to determine the problem and post it here.

civic ef hatch: Try Fronte at Kabignayan cr Banawe St., see if they have the nozzle tips you need.

Welcome to the forum.

Have you tried calling Fronte (tel # 712-0919 / 7120864) and Karmelcon (414-3989) in Banawe? These are the shops where we usually get Kia parts. Magkano po ba yung nozzle tip sa casa?

try to inquire Central Diesel Clinic * 4113711. They can service your injectors. they will possibly provide and install the nozzle tips themselves. i highly recommend this shop for fuel injection issues.

why so?

CDC saved me a lot of moolah by rebuilding and cleaning my crdi injectors. look for jake arellano.

diesoline,

Where is Central Diesel Clinic located? I just want to file their address for future reference. Thanks.

[OTEP]

Central Diesel is along Quezon Avenue, just beside Capitol Medical Center. I think you can PM dieseldude as he works in the said facility.

[diesoline]

CENTRAL DIESEL CLINIC
CDC Bldg., 1176 Quezon Avenue
Quezon City
Metro Manila, 1103 Philippines
Phone: (632) 411-3711
Fax: (632) 374-2522

otep is right, CDC is just on the corner next to capitol medical. you won't miss the big rigs parked infront. afaik jake himself is dieseldude.

[mikey177]

Thanks for the info, Otep and diesoline.

Okay pa naman takbo ng Sedona ko after 150,000 km, pero for future reference, how will I know if my injectors need cleaning or recalibration already?

[diesoline]

if you notice a drop in performance, i guess. at 150,000 km, recalibration might be in the horizon. altec, help out with this one!

the servicing of my injectors was just incidental to the timing belt repair. amianan reported error codes in their scanner after the timing belt replacement. the computer indicated that one injector was kaput and one was marginal in performance. amianan advised me to replace the injectors. with crdi injectors costing P15200 at goodgear, i phoned CDC for help with the injectors. the rebuild for one injector cost P3000.00 and the diagnosis and ultrasonic cleaning of the others cost P500 each. HAPPY!
