The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[mintoy]

hi guys. our sedona has been using a 3sm motorlite gold bat for the last two years. so far ok naman. had some discharging problems before. but it was solved when casa replacing the IC of the alternator. IC can be replaced without removing the alsternator from the engine. but i did not get the IC from casa. got it in good gear for less than Php500.

just a suggestion. you may want to add some grouding points from your engine to your battery. this will insure a balance of the charging output of your alternator. from past experience. as your car ages, grouding capacity decreases. but off coarse it will only go so far. malaki difference when you use a high amp battery:-)

praetor,

just match the specs of the old OEM battery. I believe Rocket, Atlas and the Motolite " Low maintenance" type can match it.

6smf, 100AH. since iba iba ang dimensions nila, kunin mo na lang ung kakasya sa battery bay ng carnival mo.

6smf, 100AH. Got it. Thanks!

I just checked the engine compartment today and I noticed that my ATF level's getting low...

Saan kaya maganda magpalagay na gasoline station?

1,500km pa kasi before my next tune-up e. Kaya ipapa-top off ko lang sana. Nasa minimum level na ng 75 degrees after warming the engine up for 2 minutes.

Shell lamuan dati ako nagpapalagay sa accord ko. I'm not very sure if they know how to fill up a carnival kasi.

Got it. Thanks sir Jabr!

goodgear: coming from magallanes interchange, make a right turn at at the intersection of edsa and pasay taft. the shop is about 300 meters away, under the lrt tracks. phone no. is 8338382. i had three more numbers before but i recently lost my phone. so there...

fronte, their sister store in the banaue area, also has the same items at the same prices but availability of some parts is better with goodgear. 7120864 / 7120919.

Vehicle : Kia Carnival 1999

Ano kayang problema kapag laging naka-on yung check engine indicfator light? kapag umaandar naman, nawawala...

Tapos yung tensioner din sa engine parating nasisira... sakit na ba talaga ng carnival yun?

Any ideas, suggestions?

Hi guys!

Would you recommend buying a second hand Carnival or Sedona? 2000-2003 models? I'm planning to get one soon. What price range should I expect if I want units with low mileage, diesel engine with automatic transmission. Can you recommend sellers?

Thanks in advance...

pogzwaps,

probably a sensor. dalhin mo casa kasi meron silang instrument na ikakabit sa harness ng makina para malaman ung dahilan bat ka nag check engine.

di ko na-encounter yang tensioner na laging nasisira sa 01 carnival namin. San mo pinapagawa? baka mali ang pagkakakabit.

birdvet,

suggest ko sedona na. yep 03-04 model. because most of the problems that plagued the gen1 were solved when the sedona came out. Bihira ang bumili ng gas engine model dito, but from what i observed, sila rin ang bihirang nagkaproblema. kung ikukumpara mo sa mga owners ng diesel engine.
