The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [continued]

does anyone know how much a rear shock absorber costs? Matunog na yung sa kin e. Hopefully when Kia alabang sees it, maremedyuhan muna. Pero if it needs to be replaced, I need to know approximately how much it would cost.

Thanks!

kung matunog lang. baka shox rubber bushings lang ang kailangan palitan. nangyari narin sa sedona namin. 3 beses na namin pinalitan ang rubber busings. ok pa ang rear shox mula 2002 hangang ngayon.

Hi sir mintoy.

Sinilip ko yung shocks tapos nakita ko na may bilog na metal sa taas tapos rubber tapos bilog na metal ulit bago umabot sa spring. Yung unang bilog na metal ang tumutunog.

Sa kabila di sila gumagalaw, nakadikit yung yung rubber between them. Dun sa makalampag na part yung unang bilog na metal, loose sya. Parang natanggal sa pagkakadikit.

Saan po kaya magandang dalhin yun? Welding lang po ba ginagawa dun? Kasi pag dinala ko sa casa sabihin nila palitan na lahat kahit na mareremedyuhan pa naman pala.

Thank you po.

Praetor,

Worn out bushing lang yan. Nagpalit na ako dati niyan sa carnival ko. makakabili ng mga relacement bushings kahit saang auto supplies, not more than 20 pesos ang isa. pinakabit ko na lang sa gasoline station. Anyway, rear shocks ng carnival eh 1,000 pesos each (KYB) sa goodgear.

Thanks po!

yup. just bring the intact one with you to serve as a sample. last bushing i place was intended for the steering damper.

hi guys,

i have a smoke belching problem with our sedona on idling. but when your running no problem with smoke. what do you guys think is the culprit? these are the things i did.

1. cleaned the inside of the intercooler.
2. had the nozzels cleaned two months ago. was still smoke belching on idling after.
3. replaced air filter.
4. cleaned the exhause system.
5. tweeked the fuel delivery of the injection pump.

i brought it to malabon diesel and they recommended that the injection pump has to be calibrated. the nozzels can also be replaced (cost of 4.2k per nozzel x4).

is there anything else i can check before concluding that the injection pump has to be calibrated and the nozzels need replacing. thanks :-)

Brought my sedona to shell lamuan, sila na naghanap ng bushings. Then I had the vehicle tuned up na din tutal nandun na din lang. At first ayaw nila, iba daw ang oil ng sedona pero after a few hours sige daw, lalagyan na lang nila ng helix semisynthetic na pangkotse ang timpla.

**praetor91313** · December 11th, 2010 01:53 PM

Which reminded me of the time I had the sedona tuned up at the casa. I asked what type of oil they were using... petron daw pero especially designed for the Kia Sedona. Pwede na daw yun both for gasoline and diesel engine sedonas.

I thought? What the... may ganun pala? Akala ko magkaiba dapat ang oil ng diesel at gas? Di ba iba ang viscosity ng mga yun? Di kaya mali nalagay nila sa sedona ko, thinking it was diesel, tapos palusot na lang din sila?

Mukhang di rin naman inaalagaan talaga ng casa ang mga pinapa-tune up sa kanila kaya after nun sabi ko sa gasoline station na lang ako next na magpapatune-up.
