sir Yapoy nung nagtanong ako sa Kia Pampanga re: EGR cleaning labor cost, ang sabi eh 1,200 (may promo pa na 20% discount sa labor until Aug 31 2011) pero pwede din daw i DIY. Di naman na elaborate.

For the past month medyo humina ng konti ang hatak ng Carens ko. 4 days ago while on a slow climb along Session road here in Baguio, I suddenly changed gear from 2nd to 1st and floored the pedal because I needed to overtake. From the right side view mirror, I noticed a ball of thick black smoke that came out of the tailpipe. Then I noticed a slight improvement in the engine power. Parang hindi na sakal yung takbo. Parang nakahinga ng maluwag yung Carens. Prior to this, wala namang gaanong black smoke sa exhaust. I don't know if this incident has something to do with getting rid of soot/carbon deposits from the EGR.

On the next day and on the same road, I made the same maneuver. But this time, I observed that instead of thick black smoke, konting gray smoke na lang ang lumabas and the performance improved further. Naging mas tahimik na rin ang engine.

That's the new SRP of the Carens and not just a promo. However, CAC will be doing some cost cutting measures as the Carens will now have one less airbag and just a 1-DIN stereo.

CAC with its new management team it appears has decided to rationalize prices across the board in order to become more competitive.

Merong akong naririning na parang grinding or vibrating sound sa may engine ng carens ko, yung sound came from the left side corner ng engine, usually ay maririnig mo ito in the morning and nawawala sya pag around noontime na if the weather is a little hotter, my egr has just been cleaned last month and the casa cant locate kung saan nanggagaling ang grinding sound of vibrating sound, ok naman ang hatak ng carens and no sign of black smoke, has anyone experience this????

minsan talaga kailangan natin ma pagpag yung soot na naiipon sa exhaust ng carens.. malamang naiipon yan sa may catalytic converter eh..

yung grinding sound baka sa mga bearings yan ng engine M/T ba yan or A/T??
