way22,
I got my carnival repaired in Fronte as well last Friday and got it this Monday. Same problem weak/no reverse gear. They also charged me the same price as what you mentioned below. They just found other worn out parts on the engine support which is around 6k total. Nawala nga yung vibration sa engine ko at pati noise sa loob.
As per your adviced they also change the oil seal.

So far my carnival is running fine. It's just that upon endorsement (~closing time ng Fronte) yung manibela ko is 180deg offset. Sabi nila makukuha na daw sa wheel alignment yun. I'm schedule to have it align this Friday.

way22 and utakabo
Thanks for your helpful information...

But last week the reverse was completely lost also I still kept using it for 3 days but this time with cautions. I remember someone was posting that Fronte have a repair sop for the automatic transmission. So I bring the car there last monday. Initial estimate was around 30K+ depends on what was the defect. But when I got it on wednesday, the total bill was 17.5K (10K for the labor, 1.7k for the ATF, 720 for an engine support and the rest is for the parts, brake band, bushing, gasket and others). Luckily, not many defective parts. But they have done a good job. Only thing is the labor is expensive.

i am about to replace the shocks of my sedona this weekend.... i called Fronte and Goodgear and quoted me a korean replacement for front (2.2K) and rear (1.2K)... any feedback on these sets? ok lang ba itong korean replacements as compared to a more expensive KYB excel-g? if they are good enough then i will settle on it.

My tires are showing signs of wear... ano kaya maganda pampalit? Okay ba ang yokohama? Any idea how much they cost? I'll be getting them at Evangelista this week. Thanks!

Thanks!

Hi guys,
I'm planning to buy a 2nd hand 2008 Kia Carnival EX A/T and around 25K km mileage. Just would like to ask your help on to what particulars should I check and inspect. During test drive what should I focus into? Thank you very much in advance.

louie,

Since your concern is about the new carnival it would be better if you post your query in the other thread (all-new kia carnival)

Good Day,

Ask ko lang kung talagang maingay ang makina ng 2003 Kia carnival Park? i just both it last month. Ano ang kelangan pa adjust kasi medyo mabagal din syang humatak. kaka change oil ko lang at pati air filter napalitan na.

Many Thanks,
Oliver

*marian 2011,

Anong klase ba ang ingay? Para bang kinakaskas na bakal? Sa left/passenger side ba ng engine bay mo nadidinig?

If that is the case, it might be due to the oil pump chain going bad. Refrain from using your carnival unless the problem on the chain is duly addressed. Broken oil pump chain may lead to a costly repair bill on your engine.

mas maganda kung tawagan mo muna sila (pls use the search button, the contact number has been posted before) para mai-schedule nila

I'm having the same problem right now regarding sa pagkawala ng reverse gear. Hirap ko sya i park dahil dito at need pa itulak kung mag reverse ako. I would like to ask kung paano na solve yung problem mo, any recommended shop or mechanic. thanks in advance.
