The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

Altec, I got it up to part 8 only.

na busy ako eh. part1 to 8 plus the stereo manual took me almost three hours to send even using pldt dsl 100mbps speed!. Mga 150 attachments na yata yan. Was out of the office whole day today. Am using my home internet. Tomorrow to be continued.

There is a person named witch who is also asking for a copy of the manual. Pero sa hapon na niya sinabi after I sent up to part 8. Witch has yet to make his 1st post dito.

guys, I found out my brother in law had to spend almost 100K to overhaul the engine when the oil pump stopped working and did not circulate oil around the engine of his surplus carnival gen1 series. Natuyoan ang engine, kaya nasira!

altec, eto na ba yung oil chain na sinasabi nila na naputol?

[DacoTyan]

Altec, no problemo. Again, thanks.

Regarding ATF, I switched back to Dexron IId from Dexron III. Unfortunately, the shop didn't completely drain the A/T by blowing compressed air so only 4 liters of Dexron IId was used. Anyway, the torque converter seems to hook-up better than before and the car feels more responsive.

last check up was just a few months ago. Total mileage on my sedona is 17k. I think its really the driving condition that increases consumption. We use it to bring kids to school...so short drive plus the traffic is always bad. Bottom line is .... this is not a good car to use for bringing kids to school! Best only for out of town travel....ive driven it to baguio twice already...and no complaints on the power...160Kph on Nlex with no problems....

i think thats it. stop and go driving in metro manila really produces the worst fuel mileage even with the most efficient cars. Options you have is to live with it or get another vehicle that you can afford to idle in traffic. 160 kph? i can only manage 150 in star tollway. the car can do more it is me that backed off :P

Dacotyan and leolop, am sending the manual to your yahoo address. Kayong dalawa pa lang ang nagrequest magpadala via email. Paki check na lang. Estimate total 21 email msgs, kasi 10mb max per email, hopefully hindi mag bounce back, and then 170+MB lahat. Matrabraho pala, pati magpadala ng around 340 attachments!

Altec, pwede pasend din...does it include the car audio manual too? Hopefully, its not too late, I believe mabilis lang pag-"forward" na lang...thanks!!! ill pm you my email..

altec, eto na ba yung oil chain na sinasabi nila na naputol?

from altec's post, it looks like the same case...so I believe it is a yes. yung oil chain kasi nakakabit sa oil pump.

so to all gen1, gen2 gray market units (new/old readers). pa-change nyo na yung oil chain nyo asap...

iqO also has a V6 Sedona that he acquired this year. I believe he also gets the same mileage as you do.

Mine is an M/T. I get a slightly higher mileage than Andrew66, I think. Mostly at 6K/L. But it's not much better than my RAV4. Tapos 95 RON pa ang required sa RAV4 while the Sedona is OK with 93. It's not that bad, relatively.

altec,

service manual ba yan o owners manual lang?

[altec]

just the owners manual, for those with the korean imports. I saw the service manual sa kia, super kapal. Dunno if they will allow us to photocopy. But lensio may have access? Kasi right on the dot yung fuel filter pictures niya, plus the fuel distribution system na nilagay niya dito sa thread natin.
