The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

**ericmm** · August 29th, 2005 09:38 AM

Hi All - a newbie here who also owns a kia carnival import i bought june 2002. i am glad i joined and i am starting to learn a lot from you guys. i have a few questions;

Leolop - does bio-diesel really help performance and smoke emission of kia? Planning to use it as well but i can't seem to find the nearest gas station where i can get it. My area is in Libis, QC

Lensio - does the change in filter help in performance or in anyway?

mikey177 and lensio,
thanks. the labels and pix are great!
malaking tulong ito in case of electrical problems.
sir mukhang 80A yung main fuse ko (top most fuse). looking at the pix from mikey177, mukha namang the same yung sa relay box.
yung sa fuse box (beside the parking brake), medjo may slight differences sa list vs pix pero ok na ito. just have to check it later which is which.
example:
1 - W/SHD or Front headlight
21 - Airbag or reverse light

I actually have i slight problem kaya nagreresearch ako sa mga labels nyan. yung glow plug indicator ko kasi nag-bliblink after starting, only happens when engine is started from a cold temperature. once na uminit na kahit konti, when you restart, normal na.
Casa used a Scanpro devise, wla naman daw trouble code. most likely daw relay, pero they can't diagnose daw kasi korean yung labels ko. (galing mag excuse, they should have a diagram somwhere diba???)
sabi naman sa electrical shop near our place, bka daw sensor or one of the glow plugs is faulty. but I think its not the glowplugs kasi one click naman sa umaga. might be the sensor or relay...im still figuring it out. I believe yung relay box nung sa glow plug is on another small box beside the relay box na i have posted.
pero i have no way to test, I only have two chances everyday. pag morning lang and everning. Kasi you'll need at least 7-8 hours to fully cool down the engine.

ericmm, welcome sir. any seaoil outlet sir dapat meron sila nung bd, small bottle lang yung nakita ko last time. di ko kasbisado kung saan mayroon sa libis. nearest I can think of is sa p.tuazon cor edsa, cubao.

lensio, ok sir yung tv, di na cguro mahihilo yung mga pasahero kasi mejo malaki na.
naalala ko, yung brochure nung carnival II park na nakuha ko, may TV monitor sa dash (where the radio is), tapos may pulldown tv pa (just like the one you posted). and there is a feature na may camera sa tailgate. you can actually watch back sa monitor as you reverse. i think yung "all options" na model, meron nito. scan/pix ko yung brochure and post it.

Trendy08 - thanks. Actually yung na mention mo na park II kay Lensio is the one i have. The main radio is indeed a tv (built in tuner) as well and it comes with a 8 disc cd/vcd changer. The changer has an rca input for external player pero ayaw magwork - maganda sana dvd na yung panonoorin mo.
You can easily watch pero once you are moving the screen turns black and switches back on to the tv when you stop. There is also a pull down tv at the center and yes there is reverse camera that appears both on the main radio and on the pull down tv screen. Ang hirap lang sa may reverse camera is that masasanay ka masyado kaya pag-nagpalit ka ng kotse sa radio ka titingin. Masyado na kase ako naging dependent dun sa reverse camera.

sir, "wow!" yang unit mo. kala ko walang ganyang unit ang dumating dto. nagkamali pala ako. hehe
im assuming leather seats na and leather sidings na din.

ive read somewhere about unlocking yung tv para you can watch while moving...di ko lang alam kung meron dto sa pinas na gumagawa nun.

i have the canival II park markings din pero hindi ganyan. peke ata itong park na ito. bka Land or beach ito or something. hehe

[QUOTE=mikey177]DacoTyan:: Thanks for the info on the tire pressure. I'm currently using 34 psi with my Dunlops. Para kasing masyadong flat tingnan pag 32 psi lang.

Radials always look that even when the tire is at right pressure unless your using low-profile tires.

ericmm: Welcome! Welcome to the club.

**ericmm** · August 29th, 2005 12:13 PM

Di nga lang leather seats and sidings. Pina-leather seat ko pa. For unlocking the tv while moving alam ko nga puwede yun di ko nga lang alam kung meron dito may alam kung paano. Ayaw ko naman na pag-experimentuhan ng kahit sino.

DacoTyan - thanks. btw, i like to replace my tires already. ok pa siya pero ayaw ko naman ng sagad bago magpalit. Any suggestions where i can get good new set of tires?

leolop:: Could the white-grey smoke from your unit be due to moisture? Does the white smoke disappear after the vehicle has been running for several minutes.

Yung sa akin kasi may kaunting white smoke pag cold start sa umaga, kasi walang bubong yung garahe namin kaya nahahamugan yung sasakyan. However, once everything has heated up, the white smoke disappears. Also, make sure that the gas station where you get your diesel isn't in a flood-prone area, otherwise, there might be water seeping into their fuel storage tanks, which could also be a cause of white smoke. Natanong mo na ba sa casa yung tungkol sa white smoke?

P.S. Utang muna yung pics ha, late na kami nakauwi ni misis kagabi e, kaya yung fuse box na lang nakuhanan ko.

bisoy:: Mahal yung P150 per liter para sa biodiesel. I think it sells for around P70 to P80 per liter only. Diesoline mentioned that Flying V is marketing biodiesel that is already pre-mixed at the pump... "bioactiv" yata ang brand nya. If there's a Flying V near your place, you could ask if they sell biodiesel in individual containers so you can control the blend you use.

Tama po yung computation mo for a 60-liter capacity fuel tank, pero diba 75-liters yung tank ng Carnival?

ericmm:: Welcome to the forum

Diesoline recently replaced his stock tires with Dunlops, which I think he got from a fellow Tsikoteer. Pakitanong mo na lang sya, di ko maalala kung sino yung nagbebenta ng Dunlops.

**benchph1** · August 30th, 2005 09:19 AM

hello guys. if i remember correctly, i read in my manual that the ideal tire pressure for the stock tires (215/70R15) is 35 psi. grabe talaga ung stock hankooks, all of them went oblong after only a few years of usage. im now using dunlop rv501's. just like what mikey177 is using. bought this for the thread pattern. ganda tignan eh :D

meron na daw pre-mixed bio diesel sa flying v stations gas pumps? nakita ng pinsan ko sa cainta flying v gas station. iba ito dun sa bio activ nila. ito nakahalo na sa pump. of course its costs extra.
