bisoy, im not sure of the minor problems sa gen 1. pero this morning, I brought my unit
for its 1st 1000km engine checkup. sabi sakin nung service, meron na naman daw unit that suffered a broken oil chain.
it was a black gen 1 carnival. ayun, baba ang makina. problem is yung owner daw 3 times lang nagchangeoil in 60000km.
aside from the oil pump, the damaged part was the crankshaft (note that this part alone is 27k casa price). cguro frequent change oil lang to take care of this problem.
sabi ko, bka naman nakasynthetic sya, not sure yung service but they advised me not to use synthetic. di ko alam kung may basis yung advise na yun. hehe anyway, i am thinking na frequent oil change is better than synthetic for the carnival so it is still up to the owner.

i've also noticed some sounds coming from the plastic mouldings sa interior sa gen2. might be true for gen1. not sure if its just my shocks causing the plastics to vibrate or is it just the rubber between the doors. I might try using armor all sa rubber door sidings baka mawala yung rubbing sound.

other than that, parang wala na...ive read one post about a toasted AT. not sure how common this is, pero i've also heard of this sa mga second hand auto sellers. pero personally, no problems encountered on my AT, I even went running uphill on the cheapest gas station ATF sa banaue province wala naman naging problem. now I switched back to dexronIII.

note pala na japan made yung AT nito (based on the steel plate attached to the AT). i was expecting korean made pero I found out about this nun binaba yung engine, japanese made pala. can you guys comment on this?

also Question to the experts:
I've attached a picture of the hose near the intercooler. is the one marked with red the one that we need to clean or place the OCC? (see pix)

tapos, anybody who has an idea about the stock alpine radio (see pix). wala kasi akong manual. parang may clock settings ito looking at the LCD pero I don't know how to activate it (this is easier to look at rather than looking up the time sa built in clock ng carnival). not sure if I can add a changer or buy a remote for it din.

anyways, any help would be appreciated. tia.

nakakatakot pala tong oil chain bumigay ah. so frequent oil change should be enough? frequent meaning every 5k kms naman noh? 80k kms ba nga kailangan palitan yan? nasa preventive maintenance schedule naman yan?

just to update u guys.... we closed the deal at 440k. i will get my carnival by the end of next week. excited na ako. i hope there wont be surprises sa otong ito.

bisoy, what year model are you planning to buy?? just to let you know, i sold my 2000 kia carnival LS last 2003 for 480k, so for me, 440k is a bit on the high side

[leolop]

ok na rin yang P440k for the 2000 LS. nasa few 10s of thousands na lang naman yung diff between this price and what we perceive to be fair market value based sa mga ads sa buy and sell. by definition, fmv naman is the price agreed between a buyer who is not obligated to buy and a seller who is not obligated to sell. aside from objective factors like the new a/c compressor, meron ding comfort from buying from someone you know.

bisoy, congrats on your new ride!

[leolop]

Leolop, another 15%? At 420K, that means another 60K discount?!! Di ko alam kung iiyak ako sa tuwa para sa iyo o lungkot para sa resale value ng kotse ko!! Kidding aside, anything lower is really a bonus na talaga. May pera na pang pa gwaping sa ride mo. You started on the right foot by getting a dvd player. If I may suggest, get the one that has wireless frequency, para yung sounds naka connect to the car's existing sound system without a need to install wires.

well, we'll see. nagkasisihan sa loob ng bangko over the whole fiasco. medyo nag-asungot itong apprasing group nila dahil sila nabintang for the screw up. heto na, gustong i-appraise based on comparisons to buy and sell prices, ayaw i-base dun sa starting point of P420k and reduce accordingly by another 2 years depreciation.

we got a nextbase portable dvd with wireless fm connection and strapped it on the back of the front jump seat. not really the best brand, pero pang p_r_t_d disney dvds lang naman. yup, ayaw bumaba ng mga bata kung di patayin ang makina at hugutin ang susi.

When I used the roof rack once in Dec 2003, I used a monobloc chair to position the bags on the roof.

cofta and orocan just took over thule's market dominance! wehehehehehe!

hotshot, yung nakuha ko is a carnival (local) LS version. it was purchased dec2000 daw. got it for 440k. sana hindi ako magsisisi :D

leolp, saan mo kinabit and screen mo? or kasama na yan sa oto? i also plan to put a small screen para matutuwa naman mga bugoys ko. any ideas guys kung saan ito pwede ikabit? thanks

congrats sa new ride. cguro every 5000 is enough, di ko sure kung 10000 ang recommended sa manual kasi korean manual ko, sa MB100 kasi, every 10000.

pero 5000 siguro is ok kung nasa metro manila ka at madalas start/stop traffic, or short trips.

kung madalas highway, kahit 10000 cguro.

re: oil chain, 80km daw ang palit nitong chain na ito accdg sa casa. basta in case na may narinig ka na ingay (obvious yung ingay na ito), ipacheck mo na.

iniisip ko nga dapat yung mga kotse based on running hours din hindi sa mileage lalo na sa metro manila dahil sa trapik. parang barko, based sa running hours ang maintenance hindi sa tinakbo. oh well, that's just my opinion...
