Josiel:

Along Aguinaldo Hi-Way lang ito pre, just right after the welcome arch sa boundary ng bacoor and imus. Ipagtanong mo na lang doon yung SOFIA, ito yung place na puro surpluses ang ibenebenta. Puede pang tawaran ang price dependa na lang sa haggling powers mo.

Hi Jabr...Thanks.....
Magpapa PMS ako magkano kaya ang aabutin? KAsi sabi sa akin nung kaibigan ko 9 to 11 K gusto ko lang makasiguro.

Josiel:

As I remember it, the 50k PMS of my Carnival costs only 2,700 at Hyundai/KIA Sucat. It includes the labor costs (1,110) and 6 liters of oil (shell rimula-x) and oil filter. The work conducted were the ff:

-perform 50,000 km check up
-change oil & filter
-tune up engine
-check all brakes
-check all belts
-check all lighting system

The 9 to 11 thousand pesos estimate of your friend is way to high, unless of course there are major/costly parts to be replaced. If you are planning to visit Hyundai/KIA Sucat, look for Mang Ben Narvaez or Randy. Both of them were formely connected at KIA Las Pinas and very competent with regards to Carnival's troubles.

hello peeps. im planning to get a kia carnival maybe 2001 model. yung RS ba isyung parang FX style ng upuan? LS ba yung may capt. seats na may seat na pwedeng ma fold sa 2nd row? alin yung may sky roof na feture?

regards,

percy

Percy,

The RS is the base model while the LS is the high-end variant. The LS has the sunroof, ABS, CD-player, and other features not standard on the RS.

AFAIK, both the LS and RS originally came with the bench-type side-facing third row seats, but Kia dealers provided the option to have these converted to a front-facing third row and captain's chairs for the middle row. That's the option we availed ourselves of when we got our Sedona RS in 2002.

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.

Paps napa check ko na. Sa Fuel return hoses nga ang problem, malakas ang leak dun and pati injectors papalitan na rin daw. Mag canvas pa lang ako ng parts san kaya makakabili ng orig kia na parts. Thanks!

salonika, what are your geolandars? is it the H/T-S G051? (pics below)

Yup, I think those are the ones. The H/T I think stands for Highway Treads?? since Yokohama just came up with an All Terrain with bigger lugs but expect it to be noisier on the highway.

... anyways I had to send the car to the CASA kasi umiilaw ang ABS ko, which I suspect was due to brake pad need to be replaced. Casa then told me that BOTH the battery and alternator were sira!! Casa told me that the existing battery of 3smf was undersized, as it is only 70-80 amps...

According to the casa, if your battery is undersized, the load that is sent from the alternator, pagpuno na daw yung battery kasi 70 amps capacity lang, it sends back the excess power back to the alternator, eventually causing the IC to break. Could it be true? Could it mean then that when I shifted to 110 amp alternator, in 3 days time, nasira rin siya?

When I called up diesoline about it, he then commented that when he was with Excel, he also damaged his alternator, also the IC!! And he said that may also be the case with Mikey!! I remember reading here somewhere someone who replaced the alternator to 110amps. Question, what's your battery???

The oem alternator is 19K less 20% at the casa. I am still looking for a replacement surplus alternator.

I had the same battery problem with my 2001 LS and it was always diagnosed to have a busted IC. I had the IC replaced 3 times, mas malapit ang intervals during the last couple of years so during the last breakdown I bought an alternator from Goodgear for 8K. Guess I should have done it earlier since the two IC repairs were done at the Casa, nakatipid pa sana.

BTW, I have been using Outlast and Motolite Excel so I think it would be better to replace the alternator ASAP instead of trying to switch batteries since even the CASAs have conflicting diagnosis on our problems.

Hi Guys,

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!

Remember to bring blankets when traveling with your kids or you'll get numerous requests to turn off the aircon. Sobrang lamig kahit sa likod even if the rear vents are off.

Always bring a jacket too, and gloves especially if you travel nights :-)

Paps napa check ko na. Sa Fuel return hoses nga ang problem, malakas ang leak dun and pati injectors papalitan na rin daw. Mag canvas pa lang ako ng parts san kaya makakabili ng orig kia na parts. Thanks!

Good gear at Pasay Taft. Tel # 833 5493 and 511 0376.

Aside from the leaking fuel return hose, ano-ano pa ba ang napapansin mo sa carnival mo? Mausok na ba? Malakas na sa krudo? Mahina ng humatak?
Bakit kaya nasabi ng mekaniko mo na kailanagan ng palitan ang injectors mo?

Yup, medyo malakas ng mag usok, ipapacalibrate ko na rin sana. May pinahahanap sa akin na parts yung nozzle tip daw. part number: DSLA-150-P-784. Pero mostly na napagtanungan ko eh puro assembly daw (9k each). wala daw nozzle lang. Meron kaya kau alam na mabibilhan ng nozzle tip?

Salonika, H/T stands for Highway Terrain, while A/T stands for All Terrain.

So far so good, my car is up and about. With a new 110amp alternator, and the Atlas 100amp battery. My old battery supplier offered me a low maintenance battery that fits into our compartment but the price is wowowow, 6,200!! I told them no thanks, too expensive, anyway, the 100amp atlas at 4,200 is ok.
