The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[jabr]

Good day, Just Recently bought a 2000 Kia Carnival LS. 77k and Odo. Nung na check ko sa may bandang ibabaw ng valve cover , Sa may injector ba tawag dun, basang basa sya. Then amoy Diesel. Ano kaya sa tingin nyo problem nito? Kailangan na kayang icalibrate? Thanks!

Aalen:

Pa check mo lang muna yung fuel return hoses mo. These are the thin rubber hoses that supplies/siphons the injectors with fuel. Just be sure na OEM product ang gamitin mo kasi pag replacement lang malamang tumagas uli dahil sa high pressure na dumadaan diyan.



To aaalen and dmopn welcome to tsikot.

the shop that installed the alternator was able to find another surplus 110amp alternator. Since malayo ako sa manila, at ang daming tanong ng goodgear sa tao na pinakaausap ko kung pwede magorder doon sa kanila, I decided to go for the surplus, hopefully di ito sira. 2nd, I decided to get the Atlas, cheaper than Rocket, but more expensive than all 3smf batteries. The highest ampere rating for the 3smf is 90 amps. MIKEY, the motolite gold is only 75amps. I decided to spend on the Atlas 100 amp battery, is because the added load on my car: headlights all 100w, bosch horns, DVD system with alpine ampli and extra sub.

If you have doubts on your ride's battery capacity, let me know. Hopefully, I have it in my car battery master list.

Hi Guys,
My wife is now completing her trip from manila to iloilo.
No trouble so far, except for a tire blow out at 990 km.
She was mauevering after a break and hit the gutter.
She says she had 35psi on the Forceum brand of tires before she left.

My youngest daughter is enjoying the trip.
She is used to cold environment but this is the first time she is using a blanket. good aircon eh!

Altec,
Can you tell me how much and where you bought the Atlas battery?
TIA!

sent u pm. Since you need to replace the blown tire, suggest you look for a tire that has max tire pressure of 44psi. There are some 215/70r15 tires that have 35psi max and some at 44psi. 44psi tires are more durable.

Motolite gold is 73 amps pala, not 75amps.

Lowest I saw is 60 amps, highest, 90 amps.

[dmopn]

got u on that. sent reply.
I have told my wife to look for the tire specs you have advised.
Hopefully it is available there.

Guys,
Anybody here who could advice where and what to get for a DVD system for my ride? My kids would love it. TIA!

oem setup for my sedona is ceiling mounted. Dami na mga dvd systems in the market. Just look for one that is not choosy and can read non original discs. Connect it to the car's sound system either through a direct jack if your tuner has a port for it, or using wireless systems, using an fm frequency. Some systems have a fixed frequency, generally 88.7, while some you can change frequencies depending on signal clarity. Depends if in Iloilo and all over Panay, what FM stations are in the general frequency of 88.7.

Altec,

Thanks so much for the information.
Hopefully my wife could find it in Panay.
If not then, probably she would have to get it in Manila.
Does anybody here who can point me to the right shop for a DVD system in Manila?
We could compare the prices if she could also find one in Panay.
TIA!

I suggest to check out the casas like toyota, mitsu. Their accessory shops already have dvd systems on display. It will give you a crash course on how it works and its setup. If in Manila, try Edsa Shangrila Mall, there is supposed to be an audiovox store, I think 3rd floor location, though its been a while since I went to Shangrila Mall. Their displays are also quite extensive. Blims is supposed to have audiovox also, though they are just an extension of the audiovox store in Shang Mall.

Thank you for this much needed information, Altec.
This thread is really helpful.
I hope this will continue and prosper more.
More power!

Thanks for the info. I'll look for a higher capacity battery after this one goes caput. Would appreciate feedback on whether the Atlas proves to be durable in the long run.
