The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

I changed my high beam headlights to 100w kasi yun lang ang available, plasma xenon white. Di ako kontento kasi I found out yung high beam is fixed, yung low beam lang pala adjustable, according to the shop that installed the lights. When I checked the headlights after they reinstalled the headlight assembly with the car facing a wall, I noticed the high beam has the same height more or less with the low beam. Is there any way we can adjust the high beam? I want it higher kasi. O nagkamali lang ba ang shop mag align sa headlight? Sanay ako sa H4 headlights, not the H7 on the sedona.

Hi Folks, Tet here > new guy on the block.
I have a 98 Park acquired about a yr and a half . Yep came from the gray market from 1st owner. My problem when i bought it was the delayed activation of the radiator fan where am still tring to find out how to correct a techn told me that there is some sort of a rheostat that is being adjusted on the floor under neath the evaporator but i have yet to have it looked by the techn. Does any body havbe this kind of trouble?

Aircon > i know the problem of the temp. diff. between the fron and rear > there is supposedly a heater vent damper whihc is electronically controlled separately > local units have no control on the back but my Park back actuator is not working ( or the power lines) i also installed an aux. fan whihc greatly help raise the temp down on summer plus a dashield anti heat matt.

My second problem is smoke i have yet to have the injectorion pump calibrated though i already changed the nozzle last year. Tried the anti pollution devices > good for the first month. I dont know if the Sedona is direct injection or using the common rail whihc is more quiet but less power vs Di.

Over all my wife kids wont allow me to sell it for a pajero/serena!! the seating of the Park is superv two rows of cptain seats and two foldaway center seats for parent mobility while rolling! best is the back seat whihc can be fully tilted to form a bed.

Yes i also replaced the OEM horn > liliput!

The roll is manageable on medium speed > replaced the front shocks with gas type.
My CD player though is too picky on original productions only!!

16"mags at 70 series gives circumferential speed!

Yeah turning adius is slopy but would assume similar for otherr vans?

Let me know if you know of techn that knows about my radiator fan problem. I rarely go to Casa for maint. >> banawe is best = OEM parts at Fronte Motors #7120864 = i saw a casa techn buying parts at this store!

til hir.

Question... Magkano ang local vs imported Sedona/Park?

If grey market, san mo papagawa if something goes wrong?

Parang ang laki ng risk ng grey market compared to local coz of the warranty, but the 145hp can't be ignored...

Si blackmagic may Carnival sila and I really liked how everything is arranged for a van like that, bilis nya when we went to Dau, kayang kaya habulin ang mga gas sedans, and tipid nya. The AC was also ice-cold even in hot Pampangga sun...

Mukang mas logical kung eto pagipunan ko... Also, kelan magkakaroon ng new model? Malamang it won't be anytime this next 6-10 months before I can afford it hehe.

Second hand nasa magkano?

Gray market units can be maintained with most local dealers. The only thing they will not honor is the warranty.

Matagal pa siguro magpapalit iyan. Mahaba ang product cycles ng Kia. Yung Besta 1986-2001 binenta. Yung Pregio, recently restyled in Korea. So I guess matagal pa ang buhay ng Sedona since it is the newest.
