    Hi guys,
    I'm planning to buy a 2nd hand 2008 Kia Carnival EX A/T and around 25K km mileage. Just would like to ask your help on to what particulars should I check and inspect. During test drive what should I focus into? Thank you very much in advance.

I remember someone was posting that Fronte have a repair sop for the automatic transmission. So I bring the car there last monday. Initial estimate was around 30K+ depends on what was the defect. But when I got it on wednesday, the total bill was 17.5K (10K for the labor, 1.7k for the ATF, 720 for an engine support and the rest is for the parts, brake band, bushing, gasket and others). Luckily, not many defective parts. But they have done a good job. Only thing is the labor is expensive.

    Hello, I have the same problem right now, Na experienced ko last Sunday na biglang nawala yung reverse ng canival ko 2001 model. I am looking for shop na makakapag repair nito and I saw your post. San ho ba yan Forte located? At ilan days ho nagawa yung car nyo? salamat in advance.

    Fronte (hindi forte) is located in banawe area, (kabignayan st. if i remember correctly). mas malapit sya if you would come from e. rodriguez ave.. from the post the work took three days (monday to wednesday) but it's possible that the actual work is much shorter.

    mas maganda kung tawagan mo muna sila (pls use the search button, the contact number has been posted before) para mai-schedule nila

    louie,

    Since your concern is about the new carnival it would be better if you post your query in the other thread (all-new kia carnival)

    i suddenly remember that a couple of members had posted the same problem before(if i remember correctly). where are these copper plates located sir, are they near the ignition switch or located near the motor itself?

    all the belts are relatively new, i had them (timing, serpentine and the other fan belt) replaced only last year. so is it most likely the crankshaft pulley?
    * yapoy: nabibili ba separately yung copper plate? actually I also have the same problem sa carnival 2001 A/T ko. minsan ayaw nya mga start pag mainit yung makina. need pa sya mag cool down bago mag start. Unan kong ginawa is pina recondition ko yung starter motor, then advice ng electrician i monitor yung ignition switch, kaya naglagay nya ng bypass wire from ignition to (+) terminal ng battery. Then it turn out na sa ignition switch nga yung problem since unmulit pa din at nagamit ko yung bypass wire na nilagay nya. I just need to switch on yung ignition key at tap yung wire sa positive, mag start na engine. Hassle nga lang since I need to open the hood pag nangyari to. pero mas ok na to kaysa mag wait ako mag cooldown yung engine which is 1-2 hrs. Big help itong info nyo sa copper plate. sana mas maka mura ako kaysa sa buong ignition switch. thanks...

    Bryant,

    yung copper plates ay nabibili ng hiwalay. solenoid repair kit ang tawag, mura lang yan at pwedeng mabili sa ordinaryong autosupply pero mas mabuting bakalasin muna at dalhin ang sample para sakto.

    Utakabo,
    Bro , i tried asking Goodgear and Fronte sales rep about this but seems di sila familiar. Pls refer me kung saan auto part stores sya nabibili. Saka saan ba ito located near ignition swirch or sa stater motor? Thanks in advance.
