The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[francomigz]

Hello Hinlog,

There are 2 types of door handles being sold at goodgear. One is the new one made by Mobis, ito yung malaki ang pin and probably ang nabili mo. And the other one is the orig KIA na nakalagay sa brown box which is the size ng rides natin. These two carries exactly the same parts number.

Ganito ang nangyari ng bumili ako sa Goodgear. Yung Mobis ang naibigay sa akin kaya hindi puedeng yung handle lang ang palitan. May isang sales personnel doon na nakakaalam kung ano ang fit sa models natin kaya pinalitan niya agad. Baka puede mo pang papalitan para hindi ka na magpapintura? Sa pagka alam ko marami pa silang stocks ng old handle na orig KIA ang manufacturer.

Jabr, this info is really great. Had my broken sliding replaced also at Goodgear last week, explicitly told my father-in-law bout this in case the color we need is not available, just to make sure time, effort and gas is not wasted in going there (i live in Gen Trias cavite).

thanks man.

i miss my ride, wont be seeing her for quite a while.

Papalit na ko ng Front Shocks sa thursday. ill be opting for the KYB excel G's that ive asked at banawe for only 3.8k each.

anything else that you guys recommend to replace? para isa na lang ang labor.

btw wala pa akong napapalitan sa front underchassis ng 01 carnival namin. rear shocks pa lang.

hi there,

Patulong naman po muli;

Where can I see the motor no. of my Kia Car (model 2001)? I have difficulty where to look for it, my ride is due for registration and will process the change of ownership as well.

Also, what is the best way to remove the rust located below the sliding door? takot ko baka kumalat pa. I intend to buy sand paper sana tapos lagyan ko na lang sana ng primer tutal nasa internal side naman tapos sa bandang ilalim pa. TIA.

Medyo mahirap maistencil ang rides natin if you don't know where to look for. Nasa bandang ilalim ng cylinder head ito located kaso nga lang medyo masikip kaya mahirap makuha. Tried it myself to no avail. Even the stencils boys at LTO ay inaayawan iistencil ang carnival pag may nagpaparehistro, hehehe.

It is much simpler to bring your carnival to the casa and have it stenciled there and at the same time have your intake manifold cleaned, para siguradong pasado sa emission test. KIA (Signet) Las Pinas do this kind of service. Better to bring many stencil forms for your future registrations.

Thanks Jabr for the tip..Do you know if Kia Binan cleans Kia Car intake manifold as well?

Hinlog,
AFAIK, they don't perform intake manifold cleaning.

This is true. Last july when we had our ride registered/trasnfer ownership. The LTO guys in Muntilupa were really disappointed as they cannot get to stencil the engine number. With time running out, we head to Pasig LTO,yung contact namin na maglalakad ng papeles me mga tropa sa LTO Pasig na Alam kung pano kunin yung number. Pagdating dun, Whala wala pang 5 mins nakuha na niya, mainit pa makina nun. Gave the guy P100 for the skill he.he.he. So we ended having our ride registered in Pasig LTO. Kasi ba naman expire na rin nung araw na yon yung registro namin.

Hi Jabr/Francomigz,


Thanks for the valuable info...

Hello, bought a pair of Kia outer axle boots for the Carnival at Fronte for PHP 800/pc. Replacement part was PHP 350 only, inclusive of the clip and grease.
I noticed that on the Kia Original parts, there were 2 tubes of grease per axle boot, one is the usual gray colored thick grease and the other is mustard colored. I have not seen this mustard colored grease before and the sales clerk was just as clueless on what it was for. Would you any of you know why there are these two tubes of grease? Are they supposed to be mixed together? I have not had installed yet. Thanks.

Fellow Carnival Peeps,

Me problema ako kaunti sa ride ko. Yung airbag (driver) sumingaw yung hangin, tapos umiilaw na airbag indicator. Di namin alam kung anong cause nito, can anyone help?

If this is a potential hazard, should we bring the car to Kia service center, or can this be handled by gooyear servitek?

info please. tia.

An SRS light only means your SRS might potentially not deploy in a crash. It's not really dangerous. It's just like driving without SRS.

AFAIK, there is no 'air'. The gas that fills the airbag is made by an explosion of the chemical cocktail inside the steering wheel hub. Did you hear or see air actually escaping?

Most SRS service lamps are due to faulty connections and not a problem with the actual airbag in the steering wheel. However, you may need the dealer's diagnostic equipment to check the fault code and correct the error.

Thanks Otep for the info. Actually I did not experienced this first hand, kasi wala ako sa pinas ngayon. My father in-law told me that something popped inside the vehicle and somewhat pungent odor came out and the SRS indicator is now blinking.

I guess this thing will have to be done at Kia service center. I am just glad to know that this thing does not constitute a potential hazard while driving.

Would just like to tell something about my experience in going to GoodGear in Pasay this noon, I'm from Cainta, Rizal by the way.

I called them up twice regarding the centercap for my Carnival Park, once last Monday and once yesterday. I specifically described it as the one with the Blue circle and K written as sort of L and they confirmed they have the cap... about 15 pieces. So I went there and guess what?....They have NONE . I even mentioned the name of the guy I talked to but they said they never had a cap as the one I described.

Bad Trip! :rant:

[mikey177]

Sorry to hear about your bad experience with Goodgear, Jordan. So, ano pala yung itsura nung 15 pieces na center cap na meron sila?

[ecport]

Hello. Had the Carnival serviced today. Had the axle boots replaced along with a new set of brake pads. I then went to purchase new tires, the tire shop told me that my Kia mags were out of shape and needed to fixed. Cost of new tires, PHP 3,250.00 Cost of mags "repair" PHP 1,200.00 per rim. Repairing the rims sounds like a scam to me. Have any of you actually had your Kia rims repaired?

It is matte gray not shiny/chrome-like.
The Blue emblem in the middle is Black with the word KIA.



Hope someone can me in looking for the cap above.

Thanks!

There is a Goon Squad thread about a shop in Q.C. whose modus operandi is diagnosing your rims as 'oblong' then offering to repair them for you or you can just buy new wheels from them! Search word: 'Miller'

[mikey177]

...Repairing the rims sounds like a scam to me. Have any of you actually had your Kia rims repaired?

Wow, I just realized my Sedona is already 4-and-a-half years old. And the answer is "No," I've never had the rims of the Kia or any of my previous rides repaired, and I drive very spiritedly along McArthur Highway (with all its bumps and potholes) on a regular basis.

...Hope someone can help me in looking for the cap above.

Okay, I'll check with our local Korean vehicle parts supplier in Tarlac if they have that kind of center cap in stock.

hey guys, just replaced our carnival's front shocks. used KYB Excel G's (Gas ) got it for 3.8k each * banawe. to drive it is a lot quiet and stable now.

also replaced the driver side power window switch. it costs 2.5k each * signet. opted to install it myself, bcoz casa is charging me 800 pesos for the relatively simple installation labor.
