2007 Kia Carens [continued]

[jds]

*Parakito, sir yung alarm module ay nasa ibaba ng panel gauge, near sa steering column.
Kung napalitan mo na yung battery, make sure na yung LED na blue ay nag-bi-blink if you press any button to make sure that your transmitter is indeed working.

Hi jds, thanks. Silipin ko nga bukas. btw yung sa akin ay RED LED. pagpinipindot ay umiilaw naman. Pero nawala sa programming ata sya, walang response talaga.

Sir ParakitoJDM nice job.. will try that one too (at my own risk )

Thanks for posting the pictures

By the way, the alarm of my Carens is AVT and I still have the manual...

Most likely it is not about re-programming, it seems we have the same alarm brand for our carens. The remote control is most probably busted already. Change the alarm module/box together with its remote control. If you have the spare remote control you can try it. If not, time to change. I had the same problem before, I change the alarm box with its accompanying remote control. So far so good.
Good luck.

ser Hanren,
makikisuyo naman , baka puede mo i-post yung pix (either take piktyur or Scan) yung pages ng Manual ng AVT alarm ?
salamat na marami..

to ser bengmd,
yung isang remote gumagana pa naman, so gusto ko lang may spare ako....
well ang worse case talaga is to have the whole thing replaced... pero sana i could avoid that route....

Guys n Gals, update ko lang...

after my exhaust system/pipes de carbonizing laki nabawas talaga yung black smoke coming out from the tail pipes...

however yung sluggish acceleration (esp. when engine is cold) and turbo boost seems to arrive
much later at 2500RPM instead of normal 1800RPM~ wasn't fixed....

so last Saturday Aug27, i decided to bring the car to the new Kia dealership (closest to my residence) in Chino Roces ave...(formerly known as Pasong Tamo ext) to have the car diagnosed .

then they said they have the fix for me....they immediately rolled out a new part being circulated by Kia CAC to all dealerships in time for service and - complaints like mine. they have new more robust SOLENOID Valve for the VGT.... i read the memo and agreed on the part replacement..... just had to wait around 45min. for the mechanic to be available and it was installed fairly quickly (15min. tops) then they asked me to test drive the car.....



Conclusion : same same, still experiencing sluggish acceleration.... ibabalik ko na lang siguro sa 50T km. service.... pero at that time the Service advisor said ibalik ko na lang kung dipa na fixed...since i'm pressed for time umuwi na lang muna ako.... also parang gumanda response nya at that time, pero next morning when getting ready to go out of my basement parking....ganun din....hirap na naman mag-REV.....

BTW, malinis pa oil ko and bagong linis ang air filter....

what could be causing it? next suspect ko is EGR needs cleaning....

Kaya yan din ang lagi kong sinasabi dito sa Forum na kailangan nating ihirit sa highway (expressway) ang mga Carens natin. ako regular na hinihirit ang Carens natin sa Nlex at SCTex para maiwasan ang carbon buildup sa exhaust natin. Mababang klase kasi ang diesel na binebenta dito sa Pinas di katulad sa Europe, kaya madaling mag-build up ang carbon. Ang problema e mataas ang sulphur-content ng diesel natin at ang solusyon lang dito e patakbuhin ng mabilis ang Carens para uminit ng husto ang engine at exhaust nito.

ask ko lang, something technical-- anu code ng block ng crdi carens? may research lang ako..

*Sir ParakitoJDM: Sorry ngayon lang ulit nakacheck dito. Been away for a vacation..sige sir try ko...


While on my way to Baguio last nigh (7 pm) along McArthur Hway in Moncada Tarlac, a Honda Sir was very eager to overtake me. Mabagal din kasi yung nasa harap ko at ang dami naming sinusundan na trucks. So, sa inis nya siguro, nag overtake siya sa shoulder (right), humarrurut ng todo, and that's when he hit a bystander about to cross the street. I don't know about the condition of the boy but he was hit hard and fell down a few meters away. Buti na lang di ko siya nasagasaan pa. Buti rin at di tinakbuhan ng SIR driver.

Dumaan ako sa SCtex (in visiting Clark and Subic) and I still noticed the sluggish performance. I think it is really time to have the EGR cleaned.

*Sir Hanren, ano na ang odometer reading po nyo?
