The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[bisoy]

by the way, thanks to Daco Tyan for his advise.

i know i read somewhere in this thread re regular maintenance ng particular part para hindi maging mausok ang mga carnival. what part was this? intake manifold? intercooler? if it is the intake manifold, is it the whole thing or just the squarish thing lang? this is supposedly the pre heat stage or something?

[mikey177]

the problem still persisted. i followed Daco Tyan's advise...... guess what we found out....

Sir, anong part yan? Could you post a link to a larger picture so we can better see what the damage is? TY.

[bisoy]

pasyensya na boss. it was taken from a phone cam kasi kaya hanggang dun nalang yun.

the part is actually the crankshaft pulley. there is a rubber bushing inbetween the outer and the inner part of the pulley. nag crack na yung rubber due to wear and tear. so lumalabas na nag sli-slide na sya kaya yung ikot nya hindi na yung tamang ikot kaya under drive ang mga alternator (which drives the vacuum of the brakes), power steering and water pump. hope this helps.

[mikey177]

bisoy,

Thanks for the explanation. It's something useful to know in case similar symptoms ever show up in our own Carnivals.

[bisoy]

thanks to daco tyan for the heads up. without his advise, baka medyo tumagal pa ang carnival ko sa pag troubleshooting.

i just want to update you guys on my carnival pala......

my crankshaft pulley has not arrived yet so i used the original pulley with a fabricated ring that replaced the rubber/plastic damper. ok naman lahat. all the symptoms went away. mechanic told me that i might notice more vibrations as i start up or turn my engine off because nawala na yung rubber/plastic damper sa pulley. sa observation ko, ok lang naman. i might use this fabricated steel damper (all steel crankshaft pulley) for a while. any risks doing this? machine shop cost me P900 only. the orig crankshaft pulley i bought cost me P2,450. sorry no pics on the fabricated steel damper coz i was unable to go to the shop yesterday as they were installing it.

thanks for looking.

[DacoTyan]

Bisoy, your welcome.

Like you, I'm thankful that this thread exists and has helped me a lot.

BTW, welding the two parts of the pulley would theoretically increase vibrations felt from the engine.

[bisoy]

thanks for letting me know jay c. ill keep u in mind and im saving your number for future reference.

by the way, i read somewhere in this thread na may nililinis na part para hindi masyadong mausok ang carnival natin. said part was accumulating gunk daw. what is this part again? sorry pero nahihirapan akong hanapin yung post na yun sa thread na to. was it the intercooler? intake manifold? or if someone can point the part, i would be thankful to you. thanks.

[jcastillo932]

Im not sure ha, pero pag ganyan catalytic converter is isang cause din, just like in my VW Caravelle. May catalytic converter ba carnival?

[bisoy]

parang wala ang mga carnival but im sure it wasnt the catalytic conveter. i remember it has something to do with the intake. this was confirmed by the local kia casa service manager and i had to buy around 3 cans of carb cleaner for him to clean the gunk. now that i have a trusted mechanic na, i want him to perform my regular maintenance nalang para mas mura. anyone remembers what part needs to be cleaned of the gunk? thanks

[DacoTyan]

Bisoy, T'was the intake to the intercooler (the square thingy atop your engine) where oily residue accumulates, sometimes. The hose from the turbo to the intercooler is removed, then wipe the inside of that elbow joint to the intercooler.

As far as I can recall... too lazy to scan past threads

The crankshaft pulley on our carnival was also replaced before, due my complaints of unusual noises when i start it in the morning. delikado pala iyon ah. good thing nothing bad happened to you bisoy.

bought 2 brand new center caps for carnival * banawe for 650 each. sana wag ng mawala uli.

Also had my Driveshaft boots replaced * Zee Carplus. Toti is currently on a trip to China. While they were at it, my balljoints were also injected. Rack ends and Tie rods are still stiff, inspected it myself.

Turns out Signet EDSA replaced the wrong Strut bar bushing - is that what we call it? - (or they didnt replace it at all)when i asked them to.

Was complaining to Zee about an irritating squeaking sound, their initial diagnosis was those bushings. after they replaced it, voila. no more noise. hmmm. i think i was ripped off by signet EDSA ah..


Got locked out of the Van just last holy week and all of my spare keys are inside. it was already late, so the locksmith i knew is already sound asleep. instead of breaking the glass, we decided to saw off the "buttons" that holds the rear quarter glass.

Had to run with packaging tape covering the broken window. To my surprise, Casa (Signet Distributors EDSA & Kia Motors Marikina) and even Columbian Motors does not carry this specific part. Also tried Auto Supply but still no luck. finally got hold of them through an Auto Glass Shop in Banawe for 50 pesos each.

btw heres what im talking about:

[beamme]

benchph1,

were you locked out from your car because your carnival had an alarm that automatically locks the car if left idle and running for sometime? Magpapa install palang ako ng alarm kasi para mas safe and mas convenient with the keyless entry, pero iniisip meron nga atang autolock mechanism din yun. Isip ko mag pa duplicate nalang ako ng cardkey para lagay ko sa wallet.

Bisoy,
yung brake ko rin dati nagiging matigas pag inaapakan. pinatignan namin sa mekanik at electrician, they found out na meron naka disconnect na vacuum tube. Ok na yung bake ngayon. pero yung electrician advise me na kung gusto ko mas lumakas yung brake, pa ugrade ko daw yung alternator to a more powerfull alternator. mahina ata yung orig na alternator ng carnival gen1.

[bisoy]

daco tyan, the intake of our van is the one behind the radiator, right? (facing the firewall) on top of the right side of the intake is a square thing. is this the one you are talking about? i think there's a hose plumbed to the intercooler.

benchph1, ano yung first picture? hindi kasi klaro.

beamme, like what alternator drops into our carnival at mas mataas na amperage? after fixing the pulley problem, i havent encountered any problems yet re brakes, steering and aircon. sabi naman ng mechanic ko, pwede daw mas malaking hydrovac sa brakes kung gusto ko ng mas malakas na brake. for me, as long as it is functioning well, ok pa naman.

i have 2 questions sana. i hope someone can answer them:

1) any long term negative effect on the solid pulley? what i did was remove the rubber damper and sleeved it with metal. thats what im using kasi now.

2) can we adjust height ng front suspension natin? i have a gen 1 commercial unit carnival. parati kasi sumasayad sa gutter or mataas na humps.

thanks

[slyfox]

sorry to sidestep the topic. but can any of you guys reco a place to have the paint of my carnival done? may scratches kasi sa sides eh mostly dun sa lower portion ng front and rear bumpers. oh and is it possible to repaint the silver part of the interior console? the mejo madami na rin kasing scratches around the radio eh. thanks guys.

[beamme]

Yung Carnival namin 1st gen hindi naman sumasayad sa normal height gutter and hump, specially yung mga parking na me gutter slab sa harap. yung dati ko gamit na sedan, sumsayad sa gutter, kaya natuwa ako sa carnival at hindi ko na problem yun. maybe dahil sa malaki yung gulong: front dunlop Ec201 215 70 15, while yung sa likod medyo mas maliit ng kaunti.

Target ko nga nyan ay mapa lakihan din yung gulong sa likod. Me na canvass ako na Dunlop EC201, P3400 ang isa. Ok ba yun price na yun?

[benchph1]

Sorry for the crappy pic. cam phone kasi.

the first pic is the torn drive shaft boot of our carnival. being repaired at Zee Carplus

beamme,

yes, the carnival has an alarm. got locked out with the spare key inside.

[ecport]

Hello. I may be looking to source an engine for my 2001 Carnival.
Can anybody point me to a reliable source or supplier. Thanks.

[bisoy]

ouch! what happend boss? care to share your experience? we might learn something from it.

[ecport]

Whew! Good thing it wasn't that bad (I hope). The van overheated 2 days ago and I feared the engine went bust. My wife, who drives the van, along with our children, called me up and told me something was wrong with the van and that there was smoke (steam)coming out. I told her to stop and park the van where she was. I went to see them and had the van towed to Delta Motors (along Quezon Blvd.) Delta motors told me today that the pressure hose broke and that one of the fuel nozzles was leaking. They fixed everything and the van should be ready by tomorrow. I hope that is all.

The towing was free, courtesy of BPI Petron Mastercard roadside assistance. I am not bragging, only saying that the service was good and quick. It is my first time to call and ask for roadside assistance. I can say I was happy with the service. BPI sent an eight wheeler flat bed tow truck (from IBERO) and hauled the van to Delta Motors. btw, I am not from BPI nor do I work for Mastercard.

When I get the van tomorrow or Friday, I will try to find out why the hose broke and post my findings. We had just come from Isabela last week, a 12 hour trip one-way, and had not experienced any problems with the Carnival whatsoever.
