Hi Jrln,

Regarding the evaporator filter, just asking if the local unit has it because in some parts like in the US they don't have. Jeanpierre's ride has it, because both of our units are imported.

Regarding the radiator cap, our ride doesn't have any, in fact its only inthe reservoir that we have access to the adding coolant.

Actually this is ideal (no radiator cap) since correct practice when adding coolant/water is through the reservoir.

i looked at the glove box yesterday to figure out how i can remove it so i can see if there's a filter in the evaporator.
aside from a cord that's holding the glove box cover, there are plastic parts on the side of glove box that rests on the glove box frame when you open it. i could not find a way to remove the said plastic from the inside of the glove box cover. there are two screws (one on each end) underneath the glove box cover but i did not try to remove it. sorry, i'm not a DIY kind of guy, i guess, kaya medyo nadedelikaduhan ako tanggalin. when i get to the casa for the next PMS, i'll ask them to look at it.

thanks for the info on the radiator cap.

Pareho tayo, 'di rin ako mahilig magkutingting. Na laman ko may evaporator filter dahil sabi ng wheels ng magpaservice ako nilinis daw nila. Malamig din naman ang aircon nya though mas maganda sana kung may vents din sa second row.

Hi Jeanpierre,

Can you ask Wheels if local units have evaporator filters? Thanks..

Okay, I'll do that pag uwi ko uli this 1st week of May. BTW, how's your leather seats nga pala, di ba nagbago ang color? Nagpalagay ka rin ba ng seat cover?

[gregg_g]

Min is not leather, but I am planning to have it fitted..

[gregg_g]

what color is your seatcover? Do you have pics, but I think you had that link before, don't want to search this thread, can you provide the link to the pics of your ride? Thanks

My unit when I bought it had leather seats already installed. Cream ang color and looks pricey and very nice. But I decided to put a seat cover on top of it kasi madaling madumihan ng mga makukulit kong tsikiting...he3x. Ito ang link showing my new seat cover

Thanks Jeanpierre,

I like the way your seatcover is made very fit, like a condom, hehehe. How much did it cost you? I am planning to have one made also...

[gregg_g]

Another query,

Jeanpierre, in your previous replies in this thread, you mentioned that the air filter element only cost you less than P500, where did you get this? 877 motors, a Kia dealer here in Cebu, quoted me P1,800 and a korean autoparts retailer quoted me 1,300.......

Thanks in Advance...

Seat cover cost me P6200. Air filter sa wheels ng magpaservice ako 10K yon nakasulat sa receipt eh. Kaya lang changed it after a week din with K&N air filter bought from KIA Quezon ave.

Uy sayang yon ah.... 1 week lang... where is it now? Is it still ok? I will just ask it nalang, hehehehe

[gregg_g]

How much is the K & N filter?

[jeanpierre]

How much is the K & N filter?

greg_g, it's P3300. I even bought a side mirror cover with LED and did cost me a bit more since they have to paint it same as my body color. It looks elegant naman

[gregg_g]

Jeanpierre,

Is your stock filter still available? Do you have plans for charity for it? hehehehe

Sorry, I logged in just now kasi went for my visa renewal. About the stock filter, I can send it to you if you want since I won't be using it anymore. PM me your address and I'll send it pag uwi ko. Still got 2 more weeks to go.

Thanks Jeanpierre.. Will pm you my specific office address lang... thanks...

gregg_g, may nakausap nga pala ako last time sa KiA quezon ave that marami na rin palang nagparegister sa Sorentoclub Phils. Are you a member of that group na ba? Hope KIA Quezon Ave will arrange ng EB din and will distribute membership stickers.
