The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[altec]

Sorry, my mistake! I checked the max tire pressure on the side wall, and was surprised that the hankook had 35 max psi, while the dunlop is 44 max psi.

Hi there,

My Kia Car is due for 50K PMS, does anybody maintain list of items that need to be checked in the PMS? Thanks in advance.

Hi Jabr,

Do you bring your Kia Car in Kia Binan for maintenance? Any feedback re service quality?

Sir Hinlog,
Yes. I,ve been to kia biñan for service of my carnival. Work is quite adequate and they have the parts, but i find it rather slow because of the volume of the vehicles they are servicing. I suggest that you bring the car early so that you could be served first. Parts and labor is a little lower than signet.

[altec]

do you change oil every 5K? Anyone tried doing it every 10K on non synthetic oil?

[mikey177]

Nope. I change oil every 5,000-km. Using semi-synthetic oil, the stuff that comes out at this interval is already black, but the mechanic I usually go to says the oil is still relatively clean.

[hinlog]

hi there,

how often do we change ATF? every 10k po ba?

thanks in advance.

Similarly, did anybody try to install a different brand of brake pads? If so, please share your good/bad experience --pls mention the brand pls--when you shifted from orig Kia pads to other brand. tia.

Hi,

As an update, I went to Good Gear last Saturday and opted to buy the replacement break pads...so far, I can hear/feel no difference between the orig pads and the new pads. Got it for 720.

Also, may I know how often do you send your Kiar Car for tune-up? Any recommended shop located in the South?

Thanks.

[diesoline]

OT::: something weird happened to my computer. i cannot log it to tsikot since last week. anyway, there are net cafes naman...

back to the thread: i use those replacement pads too. a tune up usually includes new filters (air and oil). i have those done every oil change.

[jabr]

sir hinlog:

as per our manual, ATF's should be replaced every 20k kilometers.

sighted this red 06 sedona on valle verde 5. the roof is a bit low isn't it?

[OTEP]

Standard ba iyan or extended wheelbase?

[mikey177]

...sighted this red 06 sedona on valle verde 5. the roof is a bit low isn't it?

So, does this mean the '06 Sedona is now available at local dealers, or is that a grey market unit?

[DacoTyan]

Look's like the LWB. The lenght kind of makes the roof look lower.

parang ang haba nga ng wheel base, lalo na mas maigsi ang nguso ng bagong carnival/sedona. benchph1, was it a diesel or a gas variant?

[benchph1]

otep,
by the looks of it mukhang extended wheelbase.

mikey,
AFAIK, "Z" and start ng plates niya. so i assume its locally acquired.

leolop,
i cannot tell if its a Gas or diesel variant. it doesn't have a hood scoop though. so its gasoline fed?

Sana may display ng 06 sedona sa Megamall carshow.

[leolop]

i saw the red carnival again entering valle verde 5, had an ateneo sticker on windshield. no hood scoop for sure. realy nice. medyo naluma dating ng carnival sedona natin. my assumption is gray market.

anyway, patulong naman to solve a mystery. yesterday, our carnival would not start because the battery had mysteriously been discharged (outlast 3sm, maintenance freef, 1 yr old). the other night, i forgot to unplug the car charger of our dvd player from the lighter socket, but this isn't supposed to affect it when there's no key in the ignition, right?

anyway, i got my jumper cables and clipped them to my other car, even started it to make sure electricity was really flowing, but the carnival still wouldn't start.

i had to use my other car for the day (coded pa naman) and when i got back, i swapped batteries. carnival started fine. why wouldn't the jumper cables work? it was as if it made no difference that they were attached but when i placed the battery directly, it worked fine.

anyway, i removed the replacement battery while the carnival was running and placed the orig to let it recharge for 15 mins. afterwards it started fine. that was last night, this morning ok pa rin.

di ko pa nadadala sa outlast para ma-check yung battery and alternator current, but it would seem they will turn out fine. any comments?

[OTEP]

If your Carnival is a diesel, hindi siya mapapaandar ng ordinary jumper cables. Dapat jumper cables ng diesel or pasadya ka ng jumper cables using the thickest wires you can find (yung jumper clips meron sa malls at hardware nun, meron na din siguro sila nung wire).

Medyo mataas kasi ang kuryente na kailangan ng diesel to start, baka kinulang lang yung battery mo (due to some unknown circumstance). Observe mo muna kung uulit.

[DacoTyan]

Maybe it was the soleniod that controls fuel inlet in the fuel injector pump, didn't have enought current to operate.

[megatron]

i heard from a very reliable source that KIA will come out with the new body sedona by next year. he did not specify if it were diesel or gas though.

i keep my ears open for any news about upcoming mini-vans and suv's coz i'm planning to buy 1 next year.

[OTEP]

The new Carnival/Sedona can be viewed at Kia's Korean website www.kia.co.kr . Available in standard and extended wheelbase models
