Jay, saan ang area mo? Do you have side skirt, yung nakadikit sa labas ng door na parang rubber? and how much? I'm also looking forward to replace my Idler pulley assembly, umiingay...nagloose kasi yung nakatukod na bolt (may tukod ba talaga yun?)

Last week sabi ng erpat ko tumatagas daw ang langis pagdating nila sa bahay from Manila .P inatignan namin sa mekaniko at sabi oil seal daw ang problema , pinapalitan namin at pati yung isang engine support total cost including labor P6,700.
Reminder always check kung merong tumutulo sa ilalim ng saskayan nyo.

Isa pang problema ng sasakyan ko ngayon ay yung radio bigla daw lumbas yung "CODE" sa LCD hanggang ngayon d pa daw nila naayos. Baka merong nakaemcounter ng ganitong problema yung original radio ng Kia yung nasa sasakyan ko ngayon. Thanks in advance....

[iwulporong]

how much po kaya at saan mabibili un? tnx po....

[mikey177]

Many thanks to ecport for his analysis of my Sedona's hard starting problem. Pinabuksan ko sa mekaniko yung starter at ito yung itsura ng isang contact ko:



The pair of replacement contacts cost me 100 pesos, while the labor here in the province cost 500 pesos. Pwede na rin considering that I would've ended up having the whole starter unit replaced at the casa if I hadn't asked for advice from you guys first. More power, and thanks a lot

Hello diesoline,

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year!!! to you and all tsikoteers !!!!

I got my Carnival last Nov 2001 (manual). It has already clocked 38K kms on the odo. I have the same reasons why I sold my 95 xl corolla for this Van. I had the same reservations about the brand. However, After two years of using it I must say that I made the right decision. Its big, its diesel, and its easy to drive.

pros - 10 cup holders. Super strong AC. drives like a car. matipid sa diesel (10 city 15 hw). Depending on the driver it likes to eat cars in the high way (record top speed attained 160kph with more to give). Very stable at high speeds. Driver has Good visibility. Seats are comfortable.

cons - brake pads are easy to wear, plastic parts are not as durable as jap brands (visor mirror cover pops out due to cracked hinge). choke housing the cable snapped (warranty replaced).

I had it converted to a seven seater this year and my passengers (wifey and daughter) loved me more. Its like riding on business class- they say.

We drive it to tagaytay and subic on several occasions really nice experience. Handling is pretty good. The body roll mentioned in the other threads can only be achieved if you take a curve near its limit,tire selection, plus load factor. Its front wheel drive macpherson strut makes it nimble in curves (If driven within its flight envelop). I remember going to eagle ridge and really floored it inside the subdivision and my tires (stock kumho) were screeching at 40kph in those long curves. However, since I switched to Dunlop (lemans), I was able to improve it to 70kph. This limitation is caused by the solid beam rear suspension lifting one tire on tight high speed cornering. One could further improve handling by changing to gas shocks at the expense of harsher ride. I have to remind myself that this was designed primarily as a people carrier not a race car.

Best damn decision I made in buying a car!!!!!!

Just bought a 2000 model carnival LS A/T, pinaltan ko agad timing belt chain and mga oil seal. ngayon namn nag bliblink hold hold light sa dash board, pano kaya matatanggal yon?

nagpalit din ako ng wheel bearing sa harap. Tapos may parang kuliglig sa may fan belt nag palit na ako ng idler bearing yung dalawang black bearing tapos pati yung drive pulley ang problema pag start ko nandoon yung ingay nakakafrustrate na talaga baka naman matutulungan nyo ako tnx

[mikey177]

...Tapos may parang kuliglig sa may fan belt nag palit na ako ng idler bearing yung dalawang black bearing tapos pati yung drive pulley ang problema pag start ko nandoon yung ingay...

Yung kuliglig sound ba, pag-start mo lang naririnig, o andun pa rin kahit naka-idle at warm up na yung kotse?

[kenzie]

Yung kuliglig sound ba, pag-start mo lang naririnig, o andun pa rin kahit naka-idle at warm up na yung kotse?

gud am sir MIKEY177 ako din may kuliglig sa makina pero pag warm up lang after that nawawala din...ano po kaya dhilan nun? salamat po

[mikey177]

As Mike G suggested, it's possibly an idler bearing or auto-tensioner that is causing the squeaking sound. Yung sa Sedona ko kasi, may squeaking sound, pero intermittent, pag umaandar ng mabagal sa malubak na daan.

It turns out that some of the insulation or padding on my front bumper was already worn out wher it connects to the chassis of the vehicle, thus causing the noise. Ayun, dinagdagan ng technician ng DIY padding made of cut-up strips of leather, nawala yung ingay.

d nawawala yung ingay mag nag rev ako ng 1500 mawawala. tanong ko lang yung fan belt na pinalit ko hindi orig replacement lang may epekto kaya yon? e yung nagblilink na hold light may remedyo ba yon?

[aaalen]

Mga paps, kaya bang iupgrade sa H.I.D. and mga headlights natin? Meron na po ba sa inyo ang nag H.I.D. na?

Had the same problem, in the morning i can hear it then it just goes away...my sedona is the 2003 diesel LS model...replaced the alternator idler pulley (plastic type for my model)...the cost of the part is around P980 but the labor is almost P2,000 at the casa...nawala na ang ingay...hope this helps

Hello to all! Thanks to all of you posters, I finally got over my reservations to get a carnival/sedona. I settled for the gray market type as it has more features but trying to get financing for it from regular bank channels was a little more difficult than usual. I picked up my gray market kia carnival park II from my dealer last Feb. 20 and i have been smiling much more frequently since then.

The 2.9 CRDI-TDI powerplant under its hood never fails to amaze me. It makes 145hp pala, as the gold badge on its front fender states. It's got loads of torque and climbed up Marcos Highway without much fuss except for the body roll noted in the previous posts. That problem has been corrected last week with the installation of a strut bar. Now, the carnival enters into and exits out of curves with more confidence.

It really is a family-oriented machine as what mikey177 and rodski noted. Mine's got the nine-seater layout; two rows of captain's chairs with the foldable jump seat in between them and a bench at the rear. A surprisingly good stock stereo. Cupholders, cubbyholes and room lights galore! A veritable rolling playground for the kids!

I also went to Wheels Inc. at E. Rodriguez for its 1000km service checkup. While waiting for the car, i made a beeline to Fusion R to check out the K&N filters there. IJD180, they cost P4,400.-- a pop! Hmmm... I might get one as soon as my wallet gets a break.

p.s.
I immediately drove the carnival home to baguio during the main panagbenga weekend. I stepped on the accelerator a bit gingerly keeping in mind the break-in process. It just ate up all the expeditions and explorers on the highway that night. a great maiden voyage!

[rodski]

diesoline congratulations for getting the Carnival. This gray market model is really good because it offers the J3 Crdi engine. Our locally sourced carnivals have the J3 engine without the Common rail fuel system. 10 HP difference. Wow!!!

I am interested in the strut bar you installed. Where did you get it and how much?

[diesoline]

My dealer in qc gave it to me gratis. It is not a brand new strut bar. I think he pulled it off a parts car unit. I will ask him if he can still get another one. I will keep you posted.

[diesoline]

Rodski, my dealer just texted back. He got that one way back in Korea. He still hasn't replied if he can bring in another one again.

[rodski]

Diesoline,

Tnx - Keep me posted on the strut bar. I was really looking for that locally because I feel that this will significantly improve handling. I sure hope he gets one.

tnx
