The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[mikey177]

bisoy,

Can you post a picture of the "lock" that you saw for the middle row seat's swivel mechanism. Hindi ko kasi ma-imagine kung paano makakabitan ng lock yon, kasi yung sa akin, parang pull-out lever lang sya. I also can't imagine why anyone would need to put a lock there, unless it's to prevent the kids from playing with the chairs

Regarding the aircon, I've noticed that the front aircon is a bit warmer than the rear aircon. Minsan, kahit naka-1 lang yung speed ng blower sa likod pinapapatay na ng wife/kids ko kasi giniginaw na daw sila --sa akin naman sa harap parang medyo cool lang pero hindi naman freezing. O baka naman kulang lang sa freon; but this too shouldn't be the case since I remember you saying that the previous owner recently had the air conditioning system serviced.

Regarding the leak... yes, there is silicone sealant that can be used on cars, but I haven't tried it personally. Tanong mp na lang sa auto supply o hardware store.

Regarding the side mirror... if you ask the casa, they'll probably say that you need to get the whole side mirror assembly replaced since they don't have just the lens. You could also try asking around at auto supply stores, but be sure you get the correct lens type, as I understand that the RS and LS (Park and Land) variants have different connection points between the lens and the housing.

re sidemirror, i already lost one mirror, it was stolen while I was having a haircut...tsk tsk tsk pero isang side lang nakuha nya.

meron sa banawe 900 yung kuha ko. mostly nakaw din cguro, i was actually thinking na bka sakin din yung binenta. mirror lang ito but there is a wire that you connect at the back of it...para sa defogger ata ito. not sure kung may mga banawe like na street sa CDO. good luck.

6) i bought a surplus turbo timer. any of you guys installed one in your ride? any advise? brand pala is FET. have you heard of this? its pretty small lang... about the size of a woman's powder kit pero mas mataba ng konte.

7) i noticed some parts sa engine compartment may tatak na "made in japan" is this normal? heh heh

thanks for reading mga fafi. keep your comments and suggestions coming....

bisoy, para saan yung turbo timer?

yung sa japan parts...yung transmission nakita ko made in japan, alin pa ba sir yung iba?

[bisoy]

thanks for your responses. a turbo timer is simply a device that delays the shutting off of your engine after you pull the key out from the ignition. so if your turbo timer is set at 5mins, pagbunot mo ng susi, aandar pa yan ng 5mins bago nya patayin ang makina.

turbo timer spools faster than our engines crankshaft. when our engine spins at 3k rpm, baka nasa 50k rpm na yung turbine ng turbo. the moving parts need to be lubricated and they are dependent on the engine's oil supply. so sa pagpatay mo ng pagpatay ng makina, nawawala na ang oil supply nya while it is still turning. oil has 2 uses here.... lubrication and cooling it down. so pag on boost ka and bigla mo papatayin ang engine mo, kawawa yang turbo mo. sooner or later, you might need to rebuild it. running your car on idle for a while helps keep cool down the turbo while continuosly lubricating its parts.

kamusta pala fuel mileage nyo boss? have you tried checking it?

[Trendy08]

thanks for the info abt the turbo timer.

re consumption: 8 sa city driving, or less depending on traffic conditions. 10-11 pag highway.

re aircon: sir bka yung microfilter, see previous posts for more info. if ever you decide to have the evaporator cleaned, bka pwede mo na rin lagyan nung microfilter para mas matagal before linisin yung evaporator. meron sa casa 2k mahigit yung filter, di ko nga alam kung tama yung price, kasi parang papel lang. yung sakin hinuhugasan ko lang kasi parang fabric sya na may screen.

re mirror, sa wheels e rod, meron daw nakadisplay nung mirror lang ng side mirror, so i think meron din sa dealership dyan sa cdo.

may tanong ako carnival/sedona peeps, inaadjust ba valve clearance ng j3 diesel engine natin? o automatic adjustment ito? pansin ko kasi meyo sluggish ang performance ng carnival namin ngayon. been using shell diesoline ultra eversince , tried to mix biodiesel only once or twice (wala kasing time maghalo pa) and i haven't tried the intake manifold cleaning service yet. whatchatink peeps?

i asked this question sa casa, ang sabi nila self adjusting na daw yung valves ng j3.

try the cleaning... noticeable yung difference pag cleaned na.

Hehe, sa akin yon, yung naka-display sa glass counter dun sa parts area sa ground floor... or rather, ako yung bumili nun dati kasi nanakaw din yung side mirrors ng Sedona ko.

Kaso, nung ikakabit ko na, napansin ko na iba yung clamps ng housing ko at hindi sya compatible sa lens. I returned the lens to Wheels E. Rod and they discovered that the ones I bought were for the LS Sedona, not the RS --yung sa LS kasi may wires para sa side mirror defogger at iba talaga yung kabitan nya, hindi sya pwede sa RS.

Anyway, I asked if they had lenses for the RS variant, and they said they would just order them since there was no stock available. I waited... and waited... and waited... and after about a year of following up the shipment and getting no assurance as to when it would arrive, I decided to just claim the whole assembly from my insurance company.

[Trendy08]

hehe sayo pala yun...kala ko the same lang yung side mirrors across all the sedona models..remote din po ba yung adjustment sa RS variant?(bka kaya iba if not remote) it looks the same though from the outside...


re blinking glow plug indicator, ok na, i just re-plugged the two relays and replaced 1 busted fuse, medyo ginalaw ko din yung temp sensor sa may radiator cap. di na nag-blink.

Hope everybody's doing well.

Its been a while since my last post. I was active during 2003, however, have to move back to HK and has been busy.

Anyway, I got my sedona rs since feb 2003 and haven't replaced the tires since. My friend from the casa advised me to replace the tires already. However, he quoted 20K for 5 tires.

Browsing through the posts, it seems most of th guys here uses Dunlop Lemans RV (215/70 R15). I trust the people here, hence I would go for this tyres.

I've got questions.
Would anybody know where to buy these tyres? Price? If you buy from them, would they install it for you? Would it include wheel balancing? Would it void warranty of all the parts of my car.

Am not really a car guru hence, my questions might be out of tune.

Will appreciate any advise or answers on my questions!

Cheers!
