The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[mikey177]

hinlog,

Thanks for the price update from Karmelcon.

Check out these old threads about Bendix brake pads. Maybe you'll find some useful info in them:

Carnival brake pad issues

Okay ba Bendix brakes?

I was able to have my outer CV joint boot replaced right before the storm got bad up north. Was charged P900 for the procedure as the gas station mechanic had to repack the inner boot as well when they put in the new outer boot.

At least I can traverse those lightly flooded streets with more peace of mind now, but I don't ever want to go wading into deep waters. Luckily, I don't go to Dagupan often, which is where most of the flooding occurs.

boss mikey:
now i know that axle boot and cv joint boot are the same! hehehe... although ang laki ng price disparity sa qouted price ng kia las piñas at kia dagupan ano? had mine changed last tuesday, but i opted to buy oem parts at goodgear in pasay at 800 per piece. our friendly shell mechanic charged me only 500 for the replacement of left and right axle boot/cv joint boot (outer) or 250 pesos per side.

Hey Guys,

Its been mobths since i last logged in. Refresher lang for my case, i own a 2002 Sedona 2.9TCI matic, changed the timing belt, idlers, and a/c idler bearing too. Lately (2 months) i hear squeeking everytime i start the engine cold. Sounds metallic to me. I had the aircon pulley removed to check if there was any premature wear, ok naman. The sound i observed increased everytime i add load to the engine like aircon compressor on/off and power steering end to end operations. Any experience on this? please help. By the way meron biodiesel equipment sa UK na nakakaproduce ng 40L of Biodiesel from used kitchen oil per day! nawala ko lang yung web address. Tara gawa na tayo sariling bio D para wala na kita OPEC sa atin! ha ha ha.
Best regards to all,

Nanotech,

Sounds like a fanbelt. Have you had it checked by a mechanic yet?

[nanotech]

Yup, but i only had the drivebelt for aircon checked (the short 1 4 groves) checked. The long one naman was also installed last December 26, 2005 and as far as djustment is concerned parang serpentine (mahaba) with auto tensioner. Should i have that checked too?

Tnx.

guys, my brother's monther-in-law has a Kia Carnival Automatic, year model 1999..

nasira daw yng Timing Chain... any idea kng magkano ang parts na ito at how much would be the labor???

thanks

[diesoline]

had my timing belt replaced early this year. i don't remember the exact figures but i think it is in the range of 12k to 16k. just make sure you have the water pump replaced even if the mechanic says that it is still ok.

[benchph1]

hi guys. hows everyone?

i just want to share on what i had replaced on our carnival to get rid of the squeaking sound in the morning. Carnival has two tensioners, either of them might be the culprit. but in my case, replacing both of them didn't solve the problem. what the guys at signet edsa was replace the crankshaft pulley. pretty expensive, but the sound dissapeared.

our unit is pushing 60,000 kms. i'm thinking of replacing the timing chain and the a/t fluid. what was that thing again was it the timing chain or the oil pump chain?

[mikey177]

nanotech::: Have you found the source of the metallic noise yet? I would expect the mechanic to check every engine component that might be the cause of the noise methodically until all possible suspects are eliminated.

diesoline::: What the deal with the water pump? Sirain ba yung piyesa na ito sa Sedona? What was your odometer reading when you had the pump replaced? How much did a replacement pump cost you and where did you have the work done?

benchph1::: I had my timing belt replaced at 70,000 km. I'm scheduled to have it replaced again when I reach 150,000 km maybe next month. It's the oil pump chain that was notorious for breaking in the 1st gen Carnivals, but this problem has been fixed (daw) in the Gen 2 version (at least that's what the service adviser told me when I asked him about it before).

Hi there,

I just want to share with you Peeps that I just availed Petron promo of free Carbon Flush to your diesel rides at Petron C5 last Saturday. I was told that the promo is extended up to Aug 18, however availability is dependent on the supply of the chemicals that they use in the process. The service took 20++mins and as a result I noticed very evident change on how my Kia Car engine sounds (refined na) and it definitely reduced black smoke.

You may want to avail of their promo as well.

[jabr]

sir hinlog,
what is the process of the carbon flushing/how is it done? did they required you to buy some products from them before you can avail of the promo and how much is the regular price sans the free promo? TIA!

Hi Jabr,

They sprayed chemical in the intake manifold, tapos nire-rebolusyon yung makina hanggang maubos yung chemical. Then, they add something to your fuel (maybe 100ml) to help clean the fuel injection naman daw. No need to buy nor load fuel in said station, you can just go straight to their repair shop and ask for it. Very accomodating naman sila in my experience, although the 1st time I tried to avail it naubusan sila ng chemical so I just returned and this time it was successful. Hmmn, no known price yet for that service although they guessed that it will cost you 300 to 400PhP once it becomes regular. It was shown in Autoextreme last month with Petron execs promoting the service that's why I pursued it.

[jabr]

ayos pala yung promo ng petron c-5. might try it as well. hehehe

magandang hapon sa lahat...

I own a 2000 Carnival LS, acquired it second hand and drove it for about two weeks and so far, so good.

I don't know much bout cars yet (kasi first car namin etong Carnival), back reading this thread helps a lot on certain issues, pero di pako tapos mag-backread. Nasa office kasi...he.he.he.

I have have some inquiries hope someone could help.

1. Is there a replacement headlight cover for the 2000 Carnival LS? Where can I get one with the most reasonable price. Also, pwede bang mapalitan yun ng projector type na HID? Yung nakakabit kasing headlight mejo yellowish sya, pero okay naman so far, nadidiliman lang ako, lalo na pag maulan.

2. Where can I get a set of good seat covers? Okay pa naman seat cover pero mejo jaded na. Inquire ako sa ACE SM-Dasma, they qouted me around 8k for the set RL yata yung gawa. I think this is quite steep.

Will wait for any feedbacks TIA!

[jabr]

hello francomigz:
kung sa seatcover i would recommend seatmate interiors (sto. rosario st. cor. nueve de pebrero mandaluyong city. i had one done on our carnival for 7,500 pesos just 2 weeks ago and i was quite pleased with the quality and fittings of the leatherette seat cover they made for me. you could check out the feedbacks of other tsikoteers about their services.

[francomigz]

Salamat Jabr!

Mejo malayo yata sa amin yon he.he.he. Kasi nasa Gen. Trias, Cavite pa ako. But will look into it, Do they have ready made seat covers already? or they will do measurements first...

Contact numbers naman kung meron...

sa Headlight sino kaya me alam...

[jabr]

wala silang ready made, pero no need to measure kasi meron na silang template ng carnival in their file.took them 2 days to finish my seat covers. they also convert the fabric sidings of our rides to leather or leatherette and can cover our steering wheels and shift knobswith leather while u wait. separate charges though ang mga yun.seen the carnival of the owner, mr. rommel san pedro and its very beautiful. kakaingit!

[jabr]

telephone number of seatmate interiors is 5311299 look for owner mr. rommel san pedro or mang romy his very able manager.
