Another request if i may...where can i find a replacement for the bolt/nut/lock (dont know what its called

) for the one that tightens the spare tire..coz mine got busted when i overtightened it...or where can i have it fixed ..aside ofcourse from the casa...thanks again for the generous help and insights

Mike G,

If they keep replacing the wheel caps every 5K because the brake fluid leaks out, then you might have a problem with the brake assembly. The piston or brake cylinder may be worn out which could explain the leak.
Replacing the wheel caps is not the solution. The brake cylinder assembly may need replacement. Check your brake fluid level daily to monitor how much fluid leaks out. I hope this helps.

Sorry, dude. Just came from the auto supply store in Tarlac this morning, and they also do not have the Sedona center cap in stock. Pwede nila i-order din pero sigurado akong mas mahal presyo kaysa kung sa QC mo io-order.

Check this portion of our thread for some info and photos that diesoline posted. There's also addition info on page 13 of the thread.

Sorry for the late reply...... haven't found any yet. :sad:

Keep me posted if you get lucky.

Sir,

I was able to get three from Karmelcon at Banawe, where I usually by my parts for my Carnival. Doon ko binili yung AC filter ko and nagpahanap ako pero ang binigay sa akin yung gray cover lang. Sabi ko yung bagong emblem na ng kia ang hanap ko. Kakatawag ko lang ngayon at sabi nila andun na daw. Kukunin ko sa Friday and then I will let you know kung totoo nga na ito na yung hinahanap natin.

I'll keep you posted.

Thanks mikey177. I actually did that before and when I pulled out the filter parang something snapped sa filter. Parang di ko siya makuha ng buo without bending it so pagbalik ko pagkalinis k, I had to bend it a little.

Has anybody here experienced the same thing?

TIA

Just curious, is the new Kia Sedona being sold here? If not, any news when kaya ma-l-launch?

Parang wala sa Kia Philippines website kasi. Thanks!

Huwag na po ako address na sir....

If in case the three caps you get are the ones we are looking for, can you ask them to reserve 1 (one) for me if there are more stocks.... I can pick it up Saturday morning.

Thanks!

PS.

How much was the Aircon Filter?

Ahh so I guess Kia isn't selling the Sedona anymore

ryan,

Some other posters said earlier in this thread that Columbian Motors didn't intend to bring in the 2006 Sedona at this point in time. They had a display unit during a car show or something at the Fort last year, but they said they weren't bringing it in. A shame, really, given that there is a demand for it. Kaya Statex tuloy ang binili namin last year para maka-pahinga ng kaunti yung 2002 Sedona namin. No regrets though, as the Starex has given good performance so far... still, the Starex doesn't have anything on the Sedona as far as creature comforts go
