Hi....Welcome to Planet Carens !!!
1) What's the PCD for Kia Carens?
Should be the usual 114.3, if you go to shop they can check for you.
6.5J X 15". The offset is unknown.
2) can we change to 17'' Sports Rims? if can then what's the profile tyres must we use?
On the driver side door, there is a label on the recommended tire and air pressure for 15", 16" and 17"
According to the user manual, Carens/Rondo fitted with 16" can upgrade to 17". 15" should not upgrade, the reason given is that the driveshaft assembly is different.
Anyway, there is no 16" stock version in Singapore and everybody is upgrading to 17".
For me, I upgrade from 17" to 15".....cost reason.....also the shaft also broken.....dont know if it is due to the 17" rims....??
3) Sometimes my ABS indicator will light up, and hard to step on the break if the indicator light up, but after awhile it will go off?
I have this experience before, one or more of the ABS sensor is/are about to breakdown.
C&C charge $70 for diagnostic, $160 per sensor and $30 for installation per sensor.... I got mine FOC, as it is just out of warranty.
4) Sometimes my aircon will get cut off for maybe 3 - 5 sec, how come?
My aircon compressor clutch breakdown on the second year. The compressor dont spoil easily......so....dont be con to change the whole compressor.....check compressor clutch and wiring.
5) Sometimes my headlight will get disconnected if i turn my steerinng or making a u turn.
Better get a electrician to check wiring.....some car insurance will void coverage in case of fire due to modify wiring.......SCDF report the cause of fire to insurance company too.
6) My front suspension area seem to have some noise when i move off or picking up, is it suspension spoilt? hw much will it cost to replace it?
7) What petrol can we use? 92? 95?
All grade can use. C&C recommend 95 and higher.
8)is there any bodykit or Spoiler for our carens?
The Carens is very close to the high limit for most MSCP in Spore (1.9M).....be careful when installing the cloth hanger.
9)My Milage already 75000km, when must we go for major servicing?
Since you dont know what happen with the previous owner schedule. Suggest you do a 888 point check servicing. JB very cheap.
Suggest you buy your own oil filter, seems like outside may use a smaller oil filter.
Hyundai/Kia P/N 26300-35503. MG sell at reasonable price......
10) Any Parts and Accessories for Carens
I recommend the 881 type HID foglight. I love it. 4300K is good!!
11) what bulb can we use on our Headlamp and Foglight? H4/H11 or others?
Foglight is 881. For headlamp, just open up the bonnet, the headlight assembly has some lamp listing.....
