The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

Di ba lahat ng diesel sa Pinas may 1% bio diesel na? Mausok pa din? Ano pong year na carnival siya?

utakabo:::

Di kaya wheel alignment ang dahilan kung bakit may vibration kayo at high speeds?

Regarding the smoke, what color is it (black or white)? Also, is it constant --that is, is it present even when you're idling, or only when you're accelerating? What's the mileage on your unit, sir?

Sa Sedona ko, may black smoke pag first time ko hinataw yung van at nag-engage bigla ang turbo, pero pagkatapos nun wala na until the next day. 163,000-km na pala mileage ko. The same holds true for my 2006 CRDI Starex --brutal kasi ako pag mag-accelerate, kaya nabubulabog talaga yung anumang deposits na meron sa makina/exhaust pipe

actually, i've asked my mechanic already about it and he said it's normal for a diesel. hindi naman talaga usok as in smoke belching. manipis naman ang usok (black) pag idling -hardly visible, pag biglang arangkada lang kagaya pag o-overtake dun ko napapansin na merong usok na naiiwan.

praning lang siguro ako dahil first time ko magka-diesel pero sabi naman sa mga forums tungkol sa diesel na na-i-improve naman yun with bd.

hindi siguro wheel alignment dahil pinacheck ko na alignment (had it aligned immediately after buying then had the alignment checked about a month or so). hindi naman talaga violent vibration, pero i can feel it through the steering wheel, parang minamasahe lang palad ko

.

about sa smoke, siguro nga ganun kagaya sa 'yo kasi pag nag-oovertake lang saka ko napapansin, pero pag smooth ang acceleration parang wala namang visible na usok. anyway had my fill up yasterday and i had added 750ml of bd so that brings the percentage to about 2%. i think i can feel the engine running smoother (could be placebo effect - obserbahan ko pa hanggang next fill up).

as for the av set-up joke lang yung 15k(obvious naman

). less than 8.5K ang gastos ko talaga including the exhaust fan that installed underneath the player)

I think mikey177 meant wheel balancing...

Kung hindi pa CRDi unit mo, normal nga lang yata na may konting usok. Kung nauusukan ka na, may mga puwede ka naman gawin (in varying degrees of cost) to reduce it like: flushing the tailpipe with a hose, carbon cleaning, and cleaning injectors. Search ka dito about these topics dahil madami ng feedback dito.

3. ilang kilometers/liter ito? medyo mahal na ang diesel these days...
4. ano driving tips ang pwede gawain to save fuel?
5. had a problem with the steering... bigla tumitigas and hinde bumabalik sa center... but now ok naman... ano kaya ang problem nun?

I have a 2002 Sedona RS MT TDIC with 163,000 km mileage. It still runs very well, although on its fifth year, some of the parts have begun breaking (e.g. sliding door handles, parking brake release cable, steering shaft, etc.). Had my evaporator replaced after the 4th year due to a pinhole leak that may have been caused by water-fording (as evidenced by the mud and muck the technicians found on the evaporator when I had aircon cleaned).

1. AFAIK, 2500 rpm is when the turbo engages.
2. Have to dig up my manual for this one.
3. I average 10 km/liter, mostly highway driving.
4. Same fuel economy tips that are applicable to any vehicle: step lightly on the accelerator, plan trip to minimize time stuck in traffic, follow regular PMS schedule, etc.
5. Problem with the power steering pump or steering linkages, maybe? Pa-check nyo na lang sa mekaniko kung bumalik ang problema.

dani0752::: Just check your user manual to determine the minimum specifications for the engine oil, and check these against the oil you plan to use. Also, it is important to stick to the preventive maintenance schedule --change oil every 5,000 km or 3 months, whichever comes first.

I have been using Shell Rimula-X on my Sedona for around 3 years and, judging from the van's performance, it appears to be a good choice.

Several pages back I reported that I had broken the driver side sliding door handle on my ride. Well, last week my son broke the handle on the other side. Buti na lang andyan si Jay Castillo to the rescue --I was able to source parts for the Sedona and Starex from him, and it saved me a trip to Banawe, which was good for me because I had a thousand and one things to attend to when we went to Metro Manila last weekend.

Anyway, just a reminder for you guys to be gentle when opening the sliding doors. The plastic handles will give way and break near the area secured by the front pin if handled too forcefully.

thanx for the valuable info m still here in cebu attending the psme convention. as mentioned i bought the sedona 2002 manual tranny, last sunday i had it blessed in antipolo, medyo mausok lalo nung mabitin ako s zigzag and a very hair raising experience eh nung mabitin naman sikuya sa pag akyat parking sa mega mall parang hirap na hirap cya muntik nga ko mamatayan ng makina.sama ko kumander and my 2 sons mga binata na. Ano kaya dapat kung patingnan sa mekaniko balak kung pumunta ke mang mario ba un sa me likod ng sm north. Ung ibang tanong ko b4 had been answered reviewing previous thread, dami ko natutunan. Hindi na nga pala ko makaatend sa eyeball d2 pa nga kc ko cebu laking hinayang! sunod na lang ulit.

thanks mikey177! read and reread ko yung manual ng sedona ko but i can't find what the bulb of the corner lights are... d pa a ko sanay sa 10km/liter! medyo gulat ako dun but malaki kasi ang engine... my previous ride was an isuzu fuego and it gave me about 15km/liter city driving... but had to get a minivan for the growing family.
