The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[Trendy08]

to start off, I personally suspect fuel cleaners would someday clog fuel lines. reading altec's post, it kinda supports it.
It is normal to think that using cleaners would be safe and that all the dirt would end up in the filter. pero I was thinking maybe somehow there COULD be dirt past the fuel filter maybe due to inherent properties of diesel (not so familiar about this) but I believe there would be somekind in there. So all dirt cleansed by the cleaner would end up on the injector, those small debris would be forced through the injectors.
Injectors of the carnival are I think needle types and cannot be calibrated. so sad...

altec, as posted, 9k po yung presyo sakin sa casa, my contact at banawe, manila has it at 5.9k. kung nasa manila ka, i might have a contact who can help get you injectors at a lower price.

anyone, meron po bang lower priced na injector kayong alam??

if they would be kind enough, can they plug in new injectors to test if mwala yung knock? that's how they determined that I would need to replace mine, when they replaced it, ang tining ng takbo.
since newly overhauled, I didn't want to risk it so I replaced it to protect all the other parts I just replaced.

altec,

Very sorry to hear about your engine problems.

Lensio,

Do you also use biodiesel in Korea? If so, is there any feedback on its long-term effects on CRDi diesel engines?

walang biodiesel dito. napakadalang ng smoke belching vehicles dito, owing to the strict government regulation regarding the mandatory annual inspection of vehicles after a certain number of years of the vehicle (2 years yata).

As far as I know, biodiesel is not popular here. And diesel fuel dito ay may very low content of sulfur <50ppm ata. (Basta low sulfur content based sa Euro4 standard).

Totoybato, sana kaba naka base sa Korea. If you know ewha church, palagi me dyan every sunday.

By the way, I asked when they bled the system, ano ang nakuha, tubig? Dumi? Wala, malinis daw. Di naman daw barado ang dating ng injector. Duda nila, lumaki ang butas, kaya sobrang fuel ang pinapalusot, kaya daw fuel knocking. I consulted another shop who I know of, the other possibility daw is air in the system. Pero bumalik daw yung knock. Di pa naman sure kung yun ang problema, and Kia is not saying it is the biodiesel that is suspect at this point. Pero di ko kasi gusto yung straight away na sagot ng manila na most probably gumamit ng biodiesel. Tapos kasi di daw chemrez ang gamit ko, baka maapektuhan ang warranty. Sh*t, e di pag start ng government regulation that diesel will now be blended, and petron will be like that daw within this year, e di lahat ng bagong diesel rides, dahil puro biodiesel na ang magamit, void ang mga warranty nila?

Nagpapalabas lang ng sama ng loob, pasensya na amigos. Pero personally, I still believe in biodiesel, although syempre, di maiiwasan na may konting duda na.

Altec, can't blame you, hindi naman cheap ang cost ng repairs diyan sa atin at hindi din naman barya ang investment natin sa ating mga rides.

Re: Fuel filter assembly (non CDRI engine)

Tips:

There are two types of fuel filter on carnival/sedona. It is easy to distinguish if you have the old or new type. Just look where the bleeder knob is located. You have the new type if it's located on the leftside (when facing the engine). Part No. 0K52A13480A (old type don't have the "A" at the last).

Lensio, is there any advantage to having the new type of fuel filter instead of the old type? Did Kia make any enhancements when they designed the new filter?

The new Kia Sedona/Carnival is supposed to be on sale in the US, I wonder if we'll get it at the same time?
