    rodski, ceiling mount lang better than in dash. My 03 sedona comes with oem accessory ceiling mount lcd monitor, installed in between 1st and 2nd row seats. 3rd row view is adequate. On the other hand, nakasakay ako sa previa ng brother in law ko, nagpakabit siya ng indash pioneer dvd tuner. I had the opportunity to sit at the 3rd row, ang napakaliiiiiiiiit tingnan from the rear.

    e chan, ako on my 3rd load biodiesel na. My mileage is 17K, and have run up around 1K km using 1% biodiesel blend. Noticeable smoke emission reduction. I noticed before biodiesel, hopeless talaga ang engine na ito, even with all those mentioned by rodski on tailpipe washing, tune up, manifold cleaning. Di tumatagal, smoke belcher ulit. And I thought di lang marunong mag maintain yung pinsan ko when he also bought a local carnival, tapos umangal siya na smoke belcher. Yung sa akin, kada smoke belching, I send it to the casa, kasi under warranty pa naman. Wala rin. Until biodiesel was applied. It took around 1 full tank with a 2% initial dose to notice some effect though.

    E chen,

    I have been using the bioexceed for the last 5 months. It significantly improve power and lesser smoke. B3 ang blend ko cada full tank ng carnival 1 li ng bioexceed and niload ko.

    One thing I noticed sa mga sedona compared to my carnival, walang usok yung carnival ko sa idling. Marami akong nakikita na sedona na mausok sa idling pa lang. Lumalabas ang usok ng carnival ko pag I floor ko yung auto at umabot ng 3.5K rpm pero sandali lang. Once umabot yung nung sustain speed yung auto wala ng usok. I suspect that pag bumukas yung egr nahihigop ng engine yung accumulated soot sa EGR pipe. Computer ang nag bubukas ng EGR valve. So sandali lang yung pag-usok.

    Everyday driving ng carnival ko ay las pinas to alabang (via loob ng BF). So hindi siya masyadong naiipit sa stop ang go traffic. Wala masyadong accumulation ng soot sa exhaust at egr. Na foforce out kasi ng exhaust yung soot. tapos once a month nag out of town so mayroon sustained high speed run to "de carbonize" (160kph hehehe)the engine. Sarap ng autong ito. latest run sa nlex naka 170kph ako kaso maraming mabagal sa fast lane so nahaba na yung 2 mins na sustained run.

    Altec thank you sa tip on the DVD player. Go na ako sa P35K.

    tnx

    Rodski

    PS: once matapos ko yung design ko gagawa ako ng prototype tapos i share ko sa inyong lahat. happy motoring.

    Hi guys. Anybody here riding a gas engined sedona? Mine is in a Kia shop. Ang lakas kasi lumaklak ng coolant. Bubuksan daw nila ang engine and replace the engine block liner. Sa loob daw ng combustion chamber napupunta yung coolant ko. Buti na lang warranty pa. I have logged 6,220 km over a period of 5.5 months. . Meron na daw silang experience na ganito sa sedona. Translation : It looks like this is a known problem sa 2.5 V6 engine nila

    I noticed also na may oil ang thread ng spark plugs. Anybody know if this normal? I asked them kasi to replace the spark plug with the bosch 4 tip platinum that I bought. Kinabit na ng mekaniko kaso nung malaman ng service advisor, ma-vo-void daw ang warranty pag hindi kia recommended ang spark plug. Kaya ipinabalik ko na lang yung dati. Thats when I noticed na oily yung thread ng old spark plugs ko. What's weird though is yung Khaos na naka-install, tinanong ko kung will not void the warranty, di daw.

    BTW, yung 7" overhead LCD monitor, nagrereklamo yung mga matatanda kong pasahero, nahihilo daw sila. Yung mga bata, di naman.

    One more question, normal ba sa sedona yung thump ng front suspension?

    Thanks!

    iq0,

    The V6 2.5 engine ng sedona ay maraming problema. Just check out the www.kia-forums.com.

    As for the oil in the spark plug threads masama ang indication nito. Oil is fouling that piston and combustion chamber. So pag baba ng manifold to solve your coolant problem, pa check mo na rin yung mga valve seats at gaskets.

    Yung suspension problem noise sa front is solve by tightening the suspension. Ganyan din yung carnival ko nung una. Tapos nung first service ng auto hinigpitan nila. Wala ng thumpping noise. Signet ako nagpapaservice.

    tnx

    Rodski

    Great!. Thanks for the info Rodski. My car should be out by Saturday. Let's see what happens. It's good to be in touch with fellow sedona owners. Thanks again.

    rodski, benchph, I checked out the kia forum, and read their thread on the suspension problems under the sedona subforum, sedona front strut thread. I copied the part number 0K52Y34380 rubber strut mounting, and showed it to kia service center casa, kasi nga I also complained of the thumping noise to them a long time ago. In fact, I posted the same complaint here in this thread several pages back (page 8, post#76) but no one here at tsikot replied. Prior to this, Kia only tried to tighten the right front shock/suspension, pero the thumping noise is still there. It's the same thumping noise I heard in my ae92 corolla and the nissan urvan long time ago. I gave the part number to the service technician and told him to look for it in their service manual. When the casa checked it, tru enough, sira na raw, they called it strut bushing. But out of stock. Inorder na nila. BUT its considered wear and tear, so not covered by warranty! I complained to them at around 10K mileage. My sedona is now 18K, but still on the 2nd year of warranty coverage.
