Sir, 100% correct iyan, dahil nangyari na sa akin, how much daw po ba ang damaged, medyo mahal iyan nasa almost 10K kaso sinindikato lang sa akin bayad ako ng 5K. no receipt kaya medyo risk so far ok naman, mahigit na 1 yr.

sir lsteruel,

actually 3,500 lang unang charge ng KIA Pasig, but they said kaya na rin 2,500. But my mother is really pushy so they'll give it for free nalang.

Kumusta na sir carens nyo, ok na? turbo talaga ba pinalitan?

Whistling sound sa turbo..baka singaw lang ang hose connector sa pagitan ng turbo & manifold ng makina. (Usually tanggal ang hose clip). Maririnig ang sipol na malakas pag mataas rpm ng makina at rpm ay ayaw na tumaas, hirap na talaga, uusok ang tambutso.
Obserbahan turbo na umaandar makina (car at stop), rev high to max rpm, observe turbo charger for vibration and noise. If noise is like scratching metal and vibration is noticeable in the turbo charger itself then TC in defective. If the noise is whistling air then look for leakage between discharge side of TC compressor and engine intake manifold, there's should be leak somewhere.

Sir weisshorn,
Only whistling sound and stuck rpm ang nangyari sa carens namin. Supposedly the turbo was replaced but the stuck rpm problem never got fixed (tested it out tonight) and recently the whistling sound came back and a few days later the sound became worse. That's when they said we needed a new aircon pulley bearing. thanks or the help.

Hi mga Sir,

Just got my 2011 Carens LX MT last week and I'm very excited as this is also my first car. Been reading a lot for the last weeks and this thread is very informative.
Tanong lng po. Advise saken ng dealer na 5000km or 5 months ang first PMS and yun din ang stated sa manual. Pero usually po 1000kms ang first PMS dba? Should I keep to the 5000km first PMS or have it check after 1000km?
Tanong ko din po how much and where to get leather seats and rear spoilers for my new Carens.
Thanks po sa inyong lahat and more power to this thread.

Sakin every 5000km pms. Also, no pms on first 1000km for korean cars.

**donseeland** · November 22nd, 2011 01:18 PM

Ah ok. So ganun pla tlaga un. Thanks sir mikkoy.

I think it's standard to all makers ang first 1000 KM PMS, usually it's free.

My advice drive your carens to the dealership for your first 1000 km PMS. Kailangan yan para ma change oil, matanggal ang mga accumulated metal particles due to engine break-in. Some claim they got much better engine response & improve FC after their first change oil.

Just my one cent unsolicited advice po.
