Wala bang filter for the rear aircon?

afaik, there is no filter for the rear vents.

[nicolodeon]

I-share ko ang experience ng friend ko sa Carnival nya:

1st year:
-no problems

2nd year:
-airconditioning kahit ano gawin, dehins na maibalik sa dati yung lamig kahit sa cas ana nya dinala.
-nasira yung speedometer sensor. 3600 ang ginastos. after a few months, nasira ulit. hindi na pinapalitan

3rd year: ika-third year lang three weeks ago.
-Nasira yung power steering. Cost of repairs sa casa: 30T.

Today: kundi ako nagkakamali, he is seriously thinking of selling the unit.

Tiningnan ko ang glove compartment. How do you remove the glove compartment? Can you post here the step by step procedure on how to remove and access the filter? Thanks! My unit is nearing 20K mileage. On 2% biodiesel, ok na ok.

by the way, I noticed that mabilis maubos yung battery ko if I don't use the car for several days maybe over 3 days. Bakit kaya? Is there an electrical drain somewhere? The only accessories I added were alarms, and upgraded sound system to complement the OEM DVD system, plus bosch black horns, and 130w plasma white high beam.

there is a small rubber on the edges of the glove compartment. you can twist these to bring down the glove compartment. btw remove all of its contents before doing this.

the alarm maybe? i don't arm the car security system when our carnival is parked at home. or it maybe your upgraded headlights. the stock wires and harness is designed to handle only 60-55w bulbs.

nicolodeleon,

perrenial problem talaga power steering ng carnival. palit na kong repair kit ang high pressure hose 10 mos. ago, ngayon may tulo na naman.
hindi maganda quality ng korean made hoses and rubbers. mas maganda pa locally - made.

[OTEP]

Just buy better hoses and seals. Bridgestone hoses ang gamit ko as replacements.

altec, we experienced that in our 2000 carnival too, pero 1 day lang yung amin, wala ng power ang battery, the problem lies in the battery, so we got a bigger batt, but i don't know how big, coz the battery guy told me that diesel cars with a/t requires bigger batt, dont know if its true

i just watched mine done by frigid-aire a/c shop and at coolbase and my local a/c shop in baguio. they opened the lower glove compartment and pulled it down. i think benchph is right with his instructions because the glove compartment was hanging upside-down afterwards.

[altec]

I got the glove compartment down. But didnt see any filter. Saan yun? All I saw were plastic components. Do I have to remove these as well?

[benchph1]

that im not sure. i guess the 1st gen carnival doesn't have pollen filter yet? lets ask the dealers.

[altec]

yung sa akin local 2003 sedona LS, so should be the same as your 02 sedona. Yung sa iyo, when you put down the bottom glove compartment (kasi may glove compartment din sa taas where the airbag is), you can see the filter right away?
