Category: Kia Carens, Carnival, Soul & Venga Forum

Hello together, after 10 years with our KIA Carnival I am now the first time so far that I need the support of a forum. I have managed all problems and errors so far together with friends hobby screwdrivers, but I fear this could go wrong. I try to describe the whole as fully as possible and therefore add this post to:1. Type of car: 1.1. Kia 1.2. Carnival 2 1.3. 2.9 l CRDi manual transmission 1.4. BJ 20042. Kurzbe Description of the error: 2.1. Engine starts only when the vehicle is towed or when you spray the start aid into the suction nozzle. 2.2. Engine warning light is constant. 2.3. Engine runs constantly in idle mode, but generates stronger vibrations than usual.3. Vehicle, error and repair history: 3.1. Purchased 2006 with 0 km as vehicle with daily registration 3.2. Common problems (wheel bearing, rust, battery ), but overall a faithful train horse and a great family carriage 3.3. 3.4. Defects alternator, starter, cooler, heating pipes, multiple handbrake cable changes in the years after. 3.5. Starting at the end of 2014, the engine warning light starts from time to time, especially when the engine gets high loads or high speeds. After cooling and rebooting, the lamp is out again. 3.6. At the beginning of 2015 workshop order to repair the oil loss on the engine and on the engine. Checking why the warning lamp starts. According to the invoice, KIA Werkstatt could not dismantle the turning roller of the belt and therefore did not get to the cause of the oil loss. Repair was stopped for cost reasons, with the recommendation of KIA to buy a new car. 3.7. Decision: the car is driven up until the last day, then emergency bought something else, even if there is nothing more suitable for us than the Carnival. 3.8. In 2015 several times admitted gasoline, in order to 3.9. Mid-2015 the Supergau: approx. 1.5 L on the tank filled only to a quarter, but not fully filled. Woman driven the next day without refuelling, after approx. 60 km engine downtime. 3.10. immediately with diesel fueled up and engine and fuel paths washed by hand several times. Since everything was done consistently, no filter change. 3.11. engine did not work again. 3.12. Since suspicion of capital damage engine or destroyed high pressure pump no w more measures taken, but reserved for more precise testing. Vehicle deregistered, replacement car (Opel Astra G ) purchased, first breathe and the loss ache. 3.13. A friendly screwdriver suggests to look more closely and not to scrap the car. Result: High pressure pump runs, starter rotates, engine has compression but does not start. When disassembly oil is detected on the cylinder head. Decision: Unclear error, Could be to the barrel without floor 3.14. When towing the car back home, I try “To the fun of what happens to whom you let the clutch come: the engine jumps, apart from the luminous warning lamp, as if nothing were at all. Great astonishment. Presumably: the engine could get out of the step by an uncontrolled ignition, because it is not possible to estimate whether it has damaged the engine. 3.15. Therefore, let the engine run again, but no load and no play with the speed, in order not to create any further damage. Motor remains the full 20 minutes return journey and runs at constant idle speed, engine warning light is all the time. At home motor strangled while parking, after that it is not again to be used via the starter 3.16. The decision is made: the Opel will stay, the Kia will get away, because Opel will be running and KIA will have unestimable risks when repairing the vehicle. 3.17. Last week: A driving accident with the Opel, apron, carrier, air conditioning and engine cooler, vehicle slightly distorted…High costs. 3.18. The Kia will be back in focus. Repairing the Opel, or money into the KIA the engine has started at least once?- Thanks to the load of the train and the number of seats, the decision is made for the repair of the KIA. 3.19. First reparture point: change timing belts and glow plugs to make sure the No problem with the control times is present, see above mentioned suspicion. 3.20. On the towing path to the workshop the engine jumps again problemlessly, starts with stronger vibrations than usual but constant. Again no experiments with speed or Las 3,21. Great AHA experience in the workshop: A carnival has no light plugs, even if you can easily buy them everywhere. Furthermore, the warm engine does not start again after you have switched it off. 3.22. But the preheating system seems to be doing so, because it smokes from the intake nozzle when you start the ignition. 3.23. A little more experienced with diesel engines. Auber hears about the problem and claims that he will run the engine without any problems. Astonishment when he sprays brake cleaners into the suction nozzle and the car starts with a starter without any problems. 3.24. Since the hard work is done, what can be done? 3.25. Try to read out the engine data fails: The available diagnostic device from Bosch can understand all vehicle types since 2004 according to the operating instructions, but no error codes… so here no help in sight. 3.26. Relays in the k 3.27. Backups tested, no defects found. 3.28. Detached sensor found: (Under the intake block in the engine fuse, possibly a knock sensor??- Re-infected, everything remains with the old. With start-up aid the engine runs, without. The sensor is therefore probably removed during the workshop visit a year ago and had since. 3.29. Since no further ideas, first do what 3.30. All repair measures come to an end on Friday evening, when the screw of the belt disc on the crankshaft stubbornly refuses to go. At tightening values of almost 400 Nm and loosening moments of up to 800 Nm according to the Internet, the impact wrench fails. All further measures postponed until Monday/Tuesday, then we try to get the belt disc fixed without special tools, which one with correspondingly long lifting l the mother gets solved. Until then, however, it is still not clear whether a tooth has superseded and if so, whether the fault comes from it (at all, therefore can come). So much for the development and the current state. I think that on Monday or Tuesday we will be able to get the belt disc down and then change the timing belt. V-belts are also changed on the occasion, as is the diesel filter. Only I worry that the damage can not be fixed afterwards. nte… and then we have no plan B as we proceed. My suspicion is getting stronger and stronger, that the “petrol-gau” was indeed the tinsel on the scale, but not the actual cause of the failure. Therefore my question to the forum: If one excludes the timing belt, the diesel filter, the relays etc.: What can prevent the engine from starting via the starter, but does not prevent it from running??? Thank you for your support in advance, the Toby

Hello together, we bought our KIA SOUL yesterday, now in hindsight we have a bad feeling. Please give us your feedback, we have a KIA SOUL BJ 2009 / first registration 12/2010 about 50 KM – day approval. He has 122 hp gasoline, metallic orange, 18″ rims, roof-rehling, Navi and the model is called Attract. What can such a car cost, or is the old scrap ? Please honest, greeting and thanks Richard

Hello! My Kia Carens (EZ 03/2017) surprised me a little bit: When starting an approximately one-hour journey, the infotainment connected to my smartphone via Wi-Fi and not only indicated the WLAN connection that had been created, but also that it had downloaded online data (stau, radar, weather). Everything as normal and just like in the last few days… At some point during the journey, however, I suddenly realized that the WLAN-Emp The radar warning sign on the Navi map was gone again, traffic jam data was only shown with the “normal” TMC symbol again and no traffic and weather data was displayed via the info button. When clicking on it instead a message appeared in the display, according to which there was allegedly a “network error”. I first tried a restart – and both from the Smartph one as well as the infotainment – but it didn’t help anything. In addition to the display for the full WLAN reception, only the aforementioned “network error” was displayed as soon as I wanted to use an online service. I then set up my mobile WLAN LTE router as a receiver – but also after its setup the aforementioned scenario again. Same then even when I booked the infotainment in my own WLAN at home on the doorstep. Everywhere best WLAN reception – but otherwise only “network errors”. Both the smartphone, as well as the mobile WLAN LTE router and even more so my home WLAN had really best internet reception… As a result, I exclude a mistake on my smartphone (or one of the other two WLAN networks). Can it be that maybe the Kia Connect server has failed instead? Did other such “network errors”? I would be happy about feedback…

Servus Together, In my carni the engine check-light has been shining for 3-4 months. At first it was only when I stepped through and gave the right fabric. 2 months ago the lamp switched on already during normal driving and extinguished during short gas removal. When reading out came the error “fuel supply”…..But here are about 7 possibilities of troubleshooting.(fuel pump, diesel filter, injectors, etc….) I first changed the fuel filter. Now it is wi The lamp lights up when it accelerates, but now it flashes in a 1-2second clock. I never had a power loss or a jerking. I just don’t want it to cause me more damage or I stop at some point and I have horrendous repair costs. I just had 120 TKM and already X repairs.(Instructions 2x, sealing rings of 2 injectors, water pipes to the rear heat exchanger eaten and rusted, etc….) But I f and the car just GGGGGGGEIL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please help me!!!!! I am grateful for every opinion and every advice!!!!!!!! Greeting Matze

Moin Together, after read out error message, the rail pressure sensor should now be replaced. (motor control lights permanently, power loss = emergency program) Question is now whether this – only the sensor, not the complete rail – has to be learned in any way in the Kia workshop, or whether the simple exchange is enough in a free workshop and it then drives again. If learning is necessary, this is only possible at Kia, or there is also an x-time-defense-in-waiting etc. . “manual” solution? Otherwise, we bought the vehicle 2013 at 62,000km. At 70,000km noise when load changes in the lower speed range, where first the oil pump was tapped. Also since already the power and engine control stress problem At 72,500km reviewer: oil pump i.e., but worn balancing shaft gears. Repair of the unit. At 88,000km in July 2015 during city travel turbocharger damage. Repair with AT turbocharger. At 116,000km both wheel bearings at the front i Noise when load changes in the lower speed range are also there again. Again balancing shaft after 40,000km?! At 118,000km in July 2017 again turbocharger damage, this time at Vollast, repaired with AT turbocharger, oil change, both V-belts also had to be changed

I have been the owner of a Kia Carens Spirit 1.7 CRDI for some time now. I was told when I was picked up that the latest Here card material was played up. I commute a lot between Frankeich and Germany (about Belgium). I noticed that the route is more than modest – an improvement (allegedly the Navi is learningable) on the route I favored (toll route) I can’t see. My smartphone (also Here app) shows a significantly better ro course. Sure, if I don’t know myself, on unknown routes, I don’t care about the way there – the main thing I get – but if I see that he offers me routes that need more time, then I find that uncool… For the settings – yes, I think I have seen the structure well and that all parameters are correct. What are your experiences? Greetings Inti31

I have a problem with my Carnival Diesel Built 2009,136 KW. In case of a strong acceleration, the engine control lamp lights up and stays on.The engine continues to run without loss of power, but I can also accelerate further.Sometimes it has 2 short dropouts when “gasing”.But the funny thing is, if I slow down or speed up, the engine warning light does not work!The Kia workshop could not read any error or make a diagnosis. Who can help me ?

Hello, everybody… we are totally frustrated. We bought a 3.5 year old Kia Carnival as a re-import car (and actually as a new car) here in D (original Holland). After we had to go to the TÜV shortly after the warranty and did not get through (after 3 years the only HU … and did not go because brake was defective back and hand brake rope), we now pulled the main win: The cylinder head seal(s) is gone … we suspect, also the ADAC, de The engine had reached the red area (temperature indicator), we immediately ran right – and see here: cooling system dry (although we regularly control this – as well as the oil level and everything else). At home we first replenished – let run, turned small round: oil in the cooling system – the next day (although not driven again, car was standing!) cooling system empty again. A call to KIA Germany put us into even greater frustration: because Re-import car, no KIA Germany is granted, we should turn to KIA Holland!!! Did you hear that already?! The engine didn’t even have 40,000 km down – he just drove in. That can’t be true?! Does any of you have any experience of how we can take this matter to get KIA to do it, but to grant KIA? Would be nice if one of you could give a hint (such a kind of fighting strategy?). We are in despair. Thank you for Down!

On Saturday, one of us drove to the front right of the fender while parked out. It is now smashed and you can no longer open the passenger door. Looks like it does after a sheet metal damage. The damage was taken up by the police and on Monday we will report to the Kia workshop. Now to the problem: The car still runs as a demonstration car on the Kia dealer. The contract is already signed (declaration of intent). The formalities are therefore “in the making”. The dealer ha t our old car is already bought, the rest should run from October. (Re-registration on us and payment). When will the car be an accident car (even in case of “simple” sheet metal damage?)? What does it look like with reduced value? Since it is a new car with a few kilometers: What will the Kia dealer get from the insurance company and how should you behave? If we buy the car it is an accident car, so is it worth less? (I think now I have asked the questions twice. ) In this case, I don’t want to hear much legal advice here, but rather “opinions”. Perhaps who has ever experienced such a case?

Had a breakdown with my Carnival on the highway. Lt. Workshop it was the leaky petrol filter. This was replaced at my expense, although I still have new car warranty until the end of the year?! We did share the costs I the petrol filter and the workshop the installation costs. Nevertheless, I consider this a guarantee case, or ??????
