The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

Korean pa yung 2 gulong mo? Huwag mo na patagalin yan bro.

Yung sa temp, mas mataas ang compression at init ng diesels kesa sa gas kaya pag nahihirapan ang makina maaaring tumaas ang needle -- but it shouldn't go anywhere near the red zone. Ako dati, pag uminit yung makina, pinapatay ko AC para makatulong. You should probably ask your SA though just to be sure.

second hand lang bro kya walang SA. one of the tires is firestone the other one im not sure kung kapareho. tnx for the reply

Vibrations that appear at expressway speeds are usually caused by unbalanced wheels. The wheels and tires may still be serviceable, but they are not just balanced at the moment.

Try to get them balanced first. Most shops that do alignment and suspension will also have balancing facilities (e.g. Servitek).

Shock absorbers will usually not be guilty of causing vibrations. The shocks themselves may vibrate when the bushings are worn, but they will not cause the vehicle to vibrate.

Sir Otep, thanks for reply.
napa balanced ko na yung mga gulong last saturday. apparently oblong daw yung isang rim, so nilagay nalang nila sa likod yun and they went on with the wheel balancing.

The result, medyo nabawasan naman yung vibration, pero meron parin at about 100kph. ano pa kaya ibang cause nun?

In addition, nag vvibrate din ba talaga yung steering wheel specially on rough road (e.g. parang gravel road condition).

Thanks in advance.

utakabo:::The normal operating temp for my Sedona is just below the 1/2 mark on the temp gauge.

pilot::: The shop you went to just balanced the four wheels, they didn't perform wheel alignment? Could the oblong rim be contributing to the vehicle vibration, even if it is in the rear position?

tnx, i suppose except for some differences, sedona and carnival are basically the same, right? the ride has been great so far, one week ko nang ginagamit.

Hello guys.

just replaced our carnival's starter solenoid. cost me 2,500 including labor at signet edsa.

di ko nahingi ung replaced part kakamadali. umuulan kasi nung kinuha ko ung van. at least fixed na ung problema.

[mikey177]

Have any of you guys replaced the stock jack with a hydraulic bottle jack? I'm thinking of getting a bottle jack for the Sedona because I think it would be difficult lifting the van with the supplied jack in case I had to change a flat tire. Tanong ko lang kung kasya ang 3 ton jack sa ilalim ng van natin, parang matangkad kasi masyado ang bottle jack para sa Carnival/Sedona.

Sir, what do you mean by your comment "Korean pa yung 2 gulong mo? Huwag mo na patagalin yan bro."? Because I understand it in a negative way.

Yep. Hindi po maganda ang feedback sa orig korean tires dito sa forum. Hindi naman ako namba-bash but a lot of people change/swap them right away -- just search the threads and you'll see.

Medyo may impact sa safety kaya ko binabanggit sa inyo.

Still using the supplied jack. naflatan ako once sa bahay and i had more workout in changing the tire than 3 hours in the gym

I dont trust bottle jacks. feeling ko kasi ang liit ng base niya at parang hindi stable. mas mabuti siguro kong alligator jacks. murang mura naman sa mga Hardware Shops sa malls. Better make sure lang na 3-ton jack ang kunin mo. kasi yung mga tig-1k kasi ay 2-ton which cannot support the weight of our rigs.

Thanks, benchph1. I'm currently using an alligator jack, but I was thinking that it was too heavy to lug around everyday (sayang yung diesel fuel), so I was considering changing it with a bottle jack.
