Depende kasi sa symptoms. Nung sa akin kasi, malakas ang battery pero ayaw mag-start ng van at kahit i-turn ko yung ignition, click lang ang naririnig ko --yung problema ko in this case was starter contacts. Nung napalitan yung contacts, okay na pag-start ko.

Ano ba yung symptoms ng hard starting sa iyo. Nagrerebolusyon ba yung starter motor pero ayaw mag-start? Mukha bang mahina na yung battery? May umiilaw ba na mga indicator sa dash mo?

malakas naman ang battery palagay ko baka nga starter contacts nga kse click lang din ang naririnig ko im gonna take it to a mechanic today ill update you on the findings...thanks for you time man....

No problem, kenzie.

Some Carnival owners have already gotten newer rides, since the Gen 1 Carnival was introduced way back in year 2000. Also, there is a separate thread for the Gen 3 Carnival. Tsaka, to be realistic, hindi naman ganun kadami ang mga Carnival sa daan kumpara sa Innova, for example.

These are some reasons that could explain why there are fewer posters here nowadays. As or myself, I'll probably continue to use my Carnival until it falls apart, just to see how far a Kia can go

This is a rant against Kia.

Intriga talaga ako sa bagong Carnival. So on several occasions, I asked kia to give me trade in value of my 2003 LS sedona. Take note this is with OEM overhead LCD and DVD player, sunroof, etc etc. And then have upgraded the sound system, the horns, alarms, headlights.90% casa maintained and parts.

Their trade in offer: 250,000 pesos!! 4 year old local unit, losing almost 800,000 in value, or equivalent to over 75% lost value. With other brands, you don't lose 75% of the value in 4 years. Unbelievable. But it just goes to show the resale value of the kia.

What you can derive from this? It is not worth it to buy a brand new kia. But for a 2nd hand unit, its value for money. For me who bought a brand new local, masakit. But if I were on the other side, the buyer who will buy a sedona for 250,000, jackpot yan.

I know kia has low resale value, but never expected it to be this much!!

Mikey salamat po ulit sa inputs ninyo...

mukhang talgang mabigat ang maintenance ng carnival pero kung well maintained sya eh garantisado naman ang comfort sa byahe at napaka sarap din manehohin.....

i just have one dilema i can't afford to have my carnival maintained sa Casa dahil alam naman natin na ginto kung sumingil at madalas hindi pa honest hindi naman po lahat....

i am mechanically challenged pro hindi naman po ako drive lang ng drive...pinakikiramdaman ko din naman ang sasakyan ko all the time. kung change oil lang every 5t KM and all the small things that needs to be changed ever 5K kaya na cgruo ng suking gasolinahan ko yun...pero yung dreaded oil pump chain / mga shifter cable, timing belt change hindi ko alam kung pede ito outside the Casa.......?

so far this is what ive gathered from tsikoteers.....

Aircon- Mang Mario
Suspension- Zee Carplus
Electrical- Rey's kaso medyo mahal pero maayos naman(any other suggestion)
Detailing- Big Berts

so anybody here from Marikina/Antipolo/Pasig/Cainta/Q.C. are that can point me to a good HONEST mechanic that can handle our carnival?

salamat po sana may makabasa at may maituro sa aking alternative other than Casa

Mikey177 ive notice na sa KIA Quezon Ave ka na nagpapagawa hows there service po? hindi po ba taga maningil?

salamat po ulit sa lahat

That's a bummer, which is exactly why I'm just going to keep mine, maybe for another five years unless it gives me a real humungous headache

Try sending a PM to Diesoline. He sometimes has his Carnival serviced in Metro Manila even though he resides in Baguio.

Wala rin akong ma-recommend ne ibang shops kasi sa Pangasinan ako nagpapagawa. I haven't set foot in Kia Quezon Ave in a long while, and I believe they have already moved to Pasig City. You can try reaching them at (02) 497-3678 or 682-5455 for your inquiries.

During the time I had work done by them, their rates were slightly cheaper than Wheels E. Rod. I don't know if the same holds true now.

What I know is that Kia Pangasinan prices for parts are more expensive than their Manila counterparts, which is why I prefer to have work done outside the casa as well.
