baka may shops po kayong alam in banawe na merong mga surplus parts pang kia carnival

saluna auto supply - #7419300

maliit lang ito pero halos korean car surplus ang tinda. harap ng dr. fe del mundo medical center (children's medical center) along banawe. mas malapit sya kung sa e rod and pasok mo.

magkano running price ng transmission ng kia carnival kaya?baka may nakapagtanong na sa inyo

[mintoy]

Thanks way22. I will tell that to the mechanic of the casa.
Actually the mechanic also suggested to have the transmission replaced even surplus.
I don't know if this is the best solution to my problem. I just have bought my carnival for 4 days until it broke down. Now I'm thinking if I did the right choice of buying it. Though I really like to comfort of the ride but with this kind of repair, I'm not sure if I can afford it.

my sister in law drives a carnival. and the automatic transmission was overhauled twice in wheels. each time she spent 50k++ for the overhaul. you may opt to have a second opinion at fronte in banawe. the korean owner has an automatic transmission repair shop behind. he specialize in korean, american, toyota and mitsubishi A/t.

hi guys

the dreaded "oil pump chain" problem has crept so I had no choice but to have it fixed. My carnival's odo reading is around 83k so I guess its really due for replacement.

overall, parts aren't really that expensive at goodgear (total cost was less than 4k which includes the chain, 3 sprockets, crank shaft oil seal & chain guide). Some 2 yrs back, I read somewhere in this thread that a quotation from a casa (signet I think) for the exact same parts would cost a staggering 26k! labor charged by my suking mekaniko is comparably cheaper at 3k (as against the 6.5k I am being charged by the mechanics on duty at goodgear) for 2 days work. Man, my mechanic and his assistant spent 1 whole day in disassembling parts that needed to be replaced.

looking back, benchph1 previous posts (some 90 pages back, hehe) really helped, particularly the pictures and part nos of every item. Just a word of caution though, be sure to bring sample of all component parts that will be replaced. In my case, the oil pump chain they initially gave did not match the sprockets it is suppose to fit in (even though I gave them the specs of my carnival. As a result, my car remained idle the whole of Sunday and I had to rush back to Goodgear the following day to have it replaced.

Overall, j3 engine now sounds crisper and the annoying grinding sound is finally gone.

cheers to all!

Hi, just want share what happened to my AT. I feel that my reverse was getting weak already 2 weeks ago but as I needed the car so I kept using it. But last week the reverse was completely lost also I still kept using it for 3 days but this time with cautions. 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.

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

way22,
I got my carnival repaired in Fronte as well last Friday and got it this Monday. Same problem weak/no reverse gear. They also charged me the same price as what you mentioned below. They just found other worn out parts on the engine support which is around 6k total. Nawala nga yung vibration sa engine ko at pati noise sa loob.
As per your adviced they also change the oil seal.

So far my carnival is running fine. It's just that upon endorsement (~closing time ng Fronte) yung manibela ko is 180deg offset. Sabi nila makukuha na daw sa wheel alignment yun. I'm schedule to have it align this Friday.

Thanks for your helpful information...

what is the use of EC-AT button ?

[taz]

i am about to replace the shocks of my sedona this weekend.... i called Fronte and Goodgear and quoted me a korean replacement for front (2.2K) and rear (1.2K)... any feedback on these sets? ok lang ba itong korean replacements as compared to a more expensive KYB excel-g? if they are good enough then i will settle on it.

[praetor91313]

My tires are showing signs of wear... ano kaya maganda pampalit? Okay ba ang yokohama? Any idea how much they cost? I'll be getting them at Evangelista this week. Thanks!

Thanks!

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.

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)

Oh ok sir. Thanks. I didn't notice that the all new carnival has a separate thread. Thanks again sir

Good Day,

Ask ko lang kung talagang maingay ang makina ng 2003 Kia carnival Park? i just both it last month. Ano ang kelangan pa adjust kasi medyo mabagal din syang humatak. kaka change oil ko lang at pati air filter napalitan na.

Many Thanks,
Oliver

[jabr]

*marian 2011,

Anong klase ba ang ingay? Para bang kinakaskas na bakal? Sa left/passenger side ba ng engine bay mo nadidinig?

If that is the case, it might be due to the oil pump chain going bad. Refrain from using your carnival unless the problem on the chain is duly addressed. Broken oil pump chain may lead to a costly repair bill on your engine.

Ganyan din un sa case ko lalo na pag start mo dapat low gear muna, parang naging manual ung drive ko, sinabi ko na yan dati dunsa gumawa pero di daw sira solinoid, un mga disc daw at un break dun nasunog. pero ung nga hindi pa rin naayos, tapos nwala un reverse, may grinding sound sa loob pag nsa R un shift mo. yesterday na check nung pinsan ko, binuksan un transmision and we discovered na binutas ung filter sa loob, nakabili ako sa fronte P2500 un original nila, sa goodgear wala daw pero may makuha daw sila P4500 ang bigay sakin, hopefully bukas matapos na ito at malaman ko kung ok na at mwla na ung flashing HOLD. tnx sir sa reply

*teban13 :
I'm having the same problem right now regarding sa pagkawala ng reverse gear. Hirap ko sya i park dahil dito at need pa itulak kung mag reverse ako. I would like to ask kung paano na solve yung problem mo, any recommended shop or mechanic. thanks in advance.
