May turbo timer ba kayo? ako nag install last year just to be sure.

Last week humina ulit hatag ng carens ko, dinala ng father in law ko sa casa and the service manager advised us to clean the egr, now balik sa dati hatak ng carens ko.

The last few weeks my aircon broke down and when I switched my aircon on the engine would start to rattle... So I brought my unit to the suking casa... Their diagnosis... I need to change my compressor which to them is worth 38k... wala pa ang labor dun... So sabi ko baka iba ang sira... well since my unit is katatapos lang ng warranty hindi ko na pinagawa sa kanila since sobrang mahal ng parts and labor nila... Then my dad told me that he'll take a look at my aircon and see if kailangan nga talagang palitan ng compressor. Ayun nahanap ng dad ko ang cause ng sira. Ang sirang part ay yun bearing at yun minamagnet lang sa compressor. Total cost of repair 1,350.00 plus freon labor cost is free. My aircon is good as new na ulit... mga casa nga naman. mga gahaman talaga...

Mine was set at 1 or 2minutes, better safe than sorry.

Humina rin hatak ng Carens ko. Hindi ko na ramdam yung burst ng turbo at 2nd gear (parang pigil). One time napadaan ako sa Kia Pasong Tamo Ext pinacheck ko at na test drive din nila. Parang humina daw ang hatak pero tolerable naman daw. Napansin din nila yung pag galaw galaw ng RPM at idle.

Wala namang makitang error codes nung nagscan yung diagnostic tool nila. Sabi ko baka yung Turbo hose may singaw. They checked it also pero ok naman daw. Ang conclusion nila eh baka yung fuel daw. I always fill up my Carens with Caltex diesel. Sinugest ko din na baka marumi na ang EGR at yun din suspect nila pero papasched na lang daw yung linis.

So far yun lang naman complaint ko. So far I am now averaging 15-16 kms/liter.

Hanren, 15 - 16 kms/liter is city driving or long highway drives? Impressive FC especially if it is city driving consumption.

I measured this one when I went to Manila (Makati) coming from Baguio. Mostly highway (average speed at SCTex at NLex: 110-120 kph) ito pero nakailang ulit din kasi ako ng ikot sa Makati at Edsa with moderate traffic. Kakatapos din ng 45k pms bago biyahe. So konti lang city driving. Hindi ko rin mapalitan ang Caltex diesel kasi dito lang ako nagkakaroon ng magandang mileage.
