    Reviving a kia carnival

    Kia Kia Advice Kia Carnival Kia Carnival Advice Kia Carnival 2001
    I HAVE a 2001 Kia Carnival and really like the excellent seating arrangement for six tall adults, but the engine is getting tired. Is there a replacement power plant worth considering? Also, how easily could my car be changed to an auto?

    UNLESS you are doing high mileage I find it difficult to believe the engine is tired. In normal circumstances I would expect your car to have done 70,000-80,000km and it shouldn't be anywhere near worn out. The Carnival is renowned for engine problems, so I would have it checked, particularly if you have noticed a loss in performance. I wouldn't consider installing an alternative engine, and I wouldn't consider switching to an auto. The costs are too high. Trade it in.
