The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

Thanks again, diesoline. I'll definitely keep CDC's contact details in my file. Laking savings din nun a.

Diesoline,

When I had the injection pump calibrated under warranty, kia said it was because of the whining noise that emanated from the pump. But power was still the same. The whining noise was suspected to be dirt/deposits somewhere in the pump.

Regarding my hard steering, kia reports they need to replace the universal joint. They are still waiting for the parts to arrive. Regarding my complaint on weak battery, they haven't given me feedback. I told them I sent the battery to the supplier and both times they said the battery was ok, so it has to be my charging system.

Hello. I broke the outer sliding door handle of my Carnival. This is for the left sliding door on the driver's side. I have gone to Fronte and also asked my trusty supplier (San Won) but they do not the part. Would any of you be kind enough to point me to the right dealer or parts supplier? It seems that parts suppliers do not keep this item since its the right door handle that get busted most of the time. Thanks.

Hay naku, pasali nga sa "Broken Kia Door Handle Club." The driver side sliding door handle of my 2002 Sedona also broke this afternoon. Linagyan ko muna ng superglue habang wala pa akong mahanap na replacement. Next time Kia should use metal for that handle instead of plastic.

Maraming salamat po mga katsikoteer!!!! I was able to get one already. And it only cost me 4k though second hand lang. The price in casa is too high for me 10.5k. If there is anyone in need of any just PM me. I know where to get one at that price. Again its only second hand. meron pang 2 available. Hopefully I'll be able to get my mini-van by tomorrow.

Meron po bang Kia Carnival/Sedona Club?

diesoline,
got the '03 sedona na. HAPPY!

Hi to everyone! ganda ng forum na to. very helpful! Just got an '03 Sedona the other day. Ganda and very smooth. Tamang tama talaga lalong lalo na para sa wife ko, preggy kasi.

I am A newbie with Kia carnival/sedona kaya malaking tulong sa akin itong forum na to.

[SIZE=4]MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!![/SIZE]

[diesoline]

welcome to the thread, p8baller, and merry christmas too!

you just got one great deal with your sedona. bring it up to baguio asap!

to all carnival/sedona folks, p8baller is my brother-in-law. that's two gen 2s in the family!

[altec]

p8baller, yours is the local sedona? If so, its the 2.9 tdic engine. Diesoline's is the 2.9 crdi, thus it's BHP is higher. Just in case kayong magkamag-anak is thinking of racing head on in nlex one of these days!! Enjoy the car!

Got my ride back. Confirmed it is the universal joint that caused the steering wheel to go heavy on me.

Merry Christmas, guys. I was able to buy a new door handle assembly at Kia Quezon Ave. (FEMAC Motors) last Friday for around P1,300. Kinukulit nga ako ng mga sales rep nila na i-test drive ang bagong Sorento o Rio, kaso nagmamadali talaga ako kaya nag-decline ako. Sayang.

Ako rin kapapalit ko lang ng door handle ng sedona ko kuha ko 1200 sa fronte sa banawe kaso wala silang color green white lang meron kaya ginawa namin ung handle lang mismo pinalitan!

p8baller, correction 2 1/2 hours driving time yun! and that was on a corona ex saloon 12 years ago... those good old days when the highways were still deserted from midnight to early morning.

these days, sub 3 hour runs to baguio are few and far between because of increased traffic on the highways.

[DacoTyan]

I remember one Good Friday run from Urdaneta to Metro Manila, in under an hour at around noon, some years back. That was fun. The roads were deserted, not even annoying tricycles was to be seen.

Include me in the non-exclusive broken door handle club sa rides natin. Mine broke this morning because of the ignorance of car wash attendant that serviced my car. Good thing that the owner promised to defray me the cause of the damaged door handle. Only problem is there is no available stock in maroon, so I have no choice but to have it repainted. I'll be paying for the labor and repainting, is that a fair compensation?
BTW, the door handle assembly for carnivals costs 830 pesos at goodgear.

[mikey177]

jabr,

Baka pwede mong gawin yung suggestion ni Mamar na yung handle lang mismo ang i-swap mula sa bagong assembly para bawas gastos ng repaint. That's what I plan to do with mine since I noticed that the new assembly uses plastic pins to hold the handle in place while my old assembly has what looks like metal pins.

Yung sa akin kasi handle mismo ang nabali. I put super glue on it for the meantime as I'm still busy with Christmas stuff so I can't have it repaired yet.

[jabr]

Thanks for the suggestion mikey! Ganun na lang ginawa ko. Labor is 300 pesos sa mekaniko ng goodgear para sa installation. Ok na naman ang door handle ko.

[mikey177]

Were you guys able to watch how the door handle assembly was replaced? Kailangan ba tanggalin yung sliding door sa rails nya para mabuksan ang inner panel at ma-access ang handle assembly? Pa-kuwento naman kung paano ginawa, baka hindi alam ng mekaniko dito yung procedure, bihira lang kasi ang Carnival sa probinsya e

[jabr]

Mikey, hindi na tatanggalin ang door sa railings niya. Yung sidings na lang ang tinatangal para mapull-out yung door handle assembly. BTW, may mga screws din sa may gilid ng windows. Kailangan na maalis ang sidings din ng window para makita mo ito.

May mga available colors na assembly to match your car din, unfortunately naubusan na sila ng maroon kaya yung mismong handle na lang ang ikinabit sa akin.

[mikey177]

Okay, jabr. Thanks for the valuable info.

Hay naku, pasali nga sa "Broken Kia Door Handle Club." The driver side sliding door handle of my 2002 Sedona also broke this afternoon. Linagyan ko muna ng superglue habang wala pa akong mahanap na replacement. Next time Kia should use metal for that handle instead of plastic.

sali na din ako sa broken handle club, handle on the sliding door driver side just broke last week, ginamitan ko na muna ng locktite habang maghahanap pa ng replacement.
