Pag binalik yung battery, nagkakarga na ulit supposedly. Kaso after a few days (after a day & a half na lang lately) , ganun na naman. I can have the battery replaced naman yata. I just want to know kung pwede bang may diperensiya yung alternator despite it's ok performance pag habang hindi nakakabit ang battery (as in telltale signs kaya yun of it's deteriorated state?). Kaya ko naman naisip yun e kasi bago battery although it's not impossible na may sira nga yun.

I hope some of you guys could share some inputs, thanks

I had a similar problem a few months back. I didn't use my ride for three days at nadischarge yung battery. After using another battery to start the car and binalik ko yung original na battery, kumarga naman. I had no problem kung overnight lang, next day ok naman at nagsta-start. I replaced my battery as a precaution - since due na rin naman. Then the technician at the battery shop said hanggang 12v lang daw yung karga pag me load so I should have my alternator checked. I did and it turned out that one of the diodes of the alternator's rectifier was busted. Cost me about P1,800.00 for the repair.

I'll try yapoy's and FCIi's advices, thanks guys, will let you know as soon as I figure it out.

RE the aircon blower, 'di ko lang kinakatok yung box ng blower ko before, tinatadyakan ko pa if I was on the passenger side. Nawawala nga pero after a while di na makuha sa tadyak. I had the blower bought in Banawe, yung isa sa recommended shops dito sa forum na may numbers din a few pages back.

Hello mga Carnival Owner's. May nakita ako 2001 Carnival A/T for sale 298K I just want to know what are the problems you guys incountered with your Carnival. Gusto kasi ni misis dahil maluwang syang sakyan. Tamang tama pang hatid sa School. TIA

**yapoy86** · September 26th, 2008 07:03 PM

actually, halos lahat ng common problems ng carnival eh nasabi na dito sa thread na ito.. at lahat naman ay may solusyong malinaw na... sa A/T lang siguro tayo hindi makakasigurado kasi pag A/T talaga bumigay eh palit na talaga yan... common naman sa lahat ng car brands na nagkakaproblema sa A/T sa katagalan...malas lang talaga pag na tyempuhan ka...

check mo na lang maigi especially yung shifting nya.. tama lang sa presyo yan pero tawaran mo pa.. ayos naman ang kia carnival sarap i-drive yun nga lang malaki at mahirap i-park sa tight spaces...dami na din parts na bago at surplus

buhayin ko lang ulit ung thread..hehehehe

ask ko lang, san ba ina adjust ang hadbrake ng carnival?

di na kasi kumakagat ung handbrake ko....pag naka slant ang park ko, dumudulas na sya, kaya dapat lagi nasa patag ang parking ko..

or may pinapalitan ba? tnx

subukan palinisan, i had the same problem three weeks ago ok na ngayun ninlinis lang. baka manipis na rin brake pads mo.

**yapoy86** · October 21st, 2008 06:52 PM

before you adjust the footbrake, have your drum brakes checked first baka manipis na ang brake shoe mo sa likod... auto adjust kasi ang mga drum brakes kaya you need to check them regularly kung upod na.... pero kung ok pa, may adjustment yan footbrake dyan mismo, meron ka makikitang nut na connected sa cable you can adjust this para kumapit ng husto yung foot brake, adjust mo lang pa unti unti kasi baka masobrahan..

tnx again

celdb: ano ba ride mo? kung diesel walang spark plugs. sabay mo na lang tune-up sa change oil mo. palit lahat ng filters - oil, fuel at air, kung well-maintained ang ride mo halos yan lang naman kailangan palitan (although yung air at fuel hindi pinapalitan every change oil, depende sa conditions where you use your car).

**benchph1** · October 31st, 2008 11:51 AM

Tune up para sa carnival, change oil, oil filter tsaka air filter lang.

mura lang naman replacement air filter, kaya pinapalitan ko na rin.(600-700 php)

another thing i do is clean the exhaust pipes by filling it up with water (via the tail pipe), start the engine and rev it to flush out carbon build up. I do this 10-15 times.
