Honda General Discussions

The TMA (Traffic master) has stopped working on my 2008 Honda Accord 2.4 EX auto. I think it stopped on April 1st. So the traffic event list, which is invaluable for traffic problems she’s that - no entries exist? Has anybody else experienced this problem and if so are there any solutions? nick

Took my CRV for a re gas to be told it needed the conpresser replaced at a cost of around £270 fitted, to be honest it's the first car I've had with air con, it's always beed open the windows in the past. Do you think that a fair price, and is it really worth worrying about I don't do loads of miles now...any views on air con please

I joined the forum just recently but can't help noticing many questions/queries go unanswered. Is this a new site that hasn't picked up many members yet? Honda's are so common I would expect to see many posts every day. Am I missing something?

Hi All I have noticed lately that my Crv has developed a squeal when depressing the Clutch Pedal, Had a good look through other Honda Owners comments on this and apparently it can be a problem on some Hondas, The clutch is operating fine, so located the Clutch Slave Cylinder and gave it good dose of WD40 and some 3 in 1 around the rubber seals and the slave cylinder piston, okay its not the same as removing the piston and doing a proper job, but the squealing noise has stopped , and a relief not to get this noise every time, I will let others know the outcome. Have a good weekend Guys & Gals BAZZER RN 1

NGTC Touring cars are too fast, Honda can still do it though, they need to stop whining and get driving! http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/94229

Just had my 2.2 i de-tec Honda civic re- mapped to stage 2. OMG what a difference. My Civic now goes like a bat out of hell got to hold on tight. plus MPG is so much better when driving sensibly, getting around 55/58 MPG, and also its alot smoother and responsive. has any one else had a re-map done, and with what results. Re-map was carried out by Celtic Tuning in Newquay Cornwall.

Hi all,new member here. I own a 2011 Honda CRV 2.2 idtec diesel. I love the car to bits but have recently have a problem with a split EGR pipe (quite a common fault apparently). Before spending a small fortune getting it repaired I wondered if any members have gone down the ERG delete route and did it work ok? I have read that deleting the EGR can generally improve performance. Im,e ok to fit the blanking plate myself but will have to find a tuner to delete the system in the cars ECU. I think I read online that the ECU program couldn,t be deleted ..hence the enquiry. This looks a very knowledgeable forum so fingers crossed one of…

I have got a Honda V-Tec engine, Very little miles. This is a complete Engine ready to fit. How do I go about selling this Engine, Not sure if Im allowed to put adds on this site.

Hi everyone I am mainly here as I have never ever driven a Honda before apart from a test drive on an auto 1.6 diesel SR about 2 months ago which I liked. I am currently looking at a year old Civic saloon 1.6 diesel SR. I was wondering if anyone had one, any thoughts, real world mpg and anything else you could think of that may help advise me before I buy one! I currently drive a BMW 118d sport automatic 5 door so that’s what I am transferring from. My reasoning for looking at this car is reliability, running costs, practicality (future proofing for a potential family), warranty due to age and I actually like the look of the car. …

Honda in the States have recalled 750.000 Honda vehicles including CRV's for having Air Bag Faults. A number of Honda Vehicle models are involved lets hope its just the American Imported Hondas involved, no mention of UK Cars being recalled, worth checking out BAZZER RN 1

Hi all you lovely CRV Members, I am a little disappointed with the response received when a Member asks for some help or advice on a subject or problem they are having with their Honda CRV, I have asked a few questions being new to the Honda Mark and usually the only response I receive is from an Administrator ,which is always appreciated, but look how many others have asked for help and very rarely do they get an answer or at least an educated guess at what the answer might be. I thought I would mention this after looking at how many unanswered question their appears to be on the Forum. So unfortunately I have now resorted to having go to the expensive Main Dealer …

Hi all I would like to pose a question to the group. We have a CRV on 3 year lease hire which is due to expire on 8/6/11. We have been discussing a replacement with our local dealer for some time, certainly before the Japanese disaster. Not unexpectedly deliveries on the CRV we want have gone out of the window and it may even be August before we see a car. So what to do about the current one?. Our Honda dealer says we can continue to pay the monthly hire charge (we are ok on that) but he also wants us to pay for an MOT and a service for a car that we might only have for a few weeks. This doesn't seem fair to us. What do others think Chris Redwingtwo

I recently bought a Honda CRV SE plus, 2018. Can anyone tell me if this has Apple CarPlay as standard. Android phone is listed but no Apple CarPlay. Using Siri I can get music, make calls and get voice directions but Google maps does not appear on car screen.

I have a Honda Jazz 2003. The keys are not remote but maybe are worn so much that it will not start the car when inserted in the ignition. The key will open the doors though. How can I overcome the problem, do I have to buy a new ignition steering lock?

Hi there, I'm thinking of buying a second hand one of the above (8 or 9 yrs old) Japanese Import. Does anyone have experience of either of these cars with more than 100k on the odometer? Thanks

Hi , I thought I would share this tip with you, I have been using DiamondBrite Ceramic Glaze for a while after washing my CRV and the results are fantastic, It comes in a Spray Bottle and its easy to use, it puts a ceramic glaze protective coating on the paintwork and provides excellent beading when it rains. its not that expensive and gives a mirror like finish after use, My car is Night Hawk Black so not easy to keep clean but this certainly helps.Give it a try and let other Members know if your as pleased as I am with the result Just a Tip Guys BAZZER RN 1

Hi, does anybody body know if there’s a way to reprogramme a 2nd remote fob to a 2005 FRV? i already have one working key & fob. Have ordered a 2nd hand fob as a spare. i know with some other brands there’s a sequence of events where you can programme another fob (providing ECU will accept Nth fob) by using an existing key whilst in ignition. Don’t need to tap into ECU/OBD

I need some technical advice Guys, When I switch on the Ignition on the CRV from cold star, The Radiator Fan Starts and goes off after about 5 mins, It then clicks and comes on again and goes off etc, Has anyone else had this problem, I think it is draining the battery when this is happening, Coolant level is fine ,all topped up, I have changed the coolant Sensor and now at a loss, I could go on changing Sensors, i.e, the Radiator Module and the Radiator Switch and Relays but this is just an expensive procedure. Has anyone had this problem or can help in solving it .Its getting frustrating not knowing what might be the cause. Any help would be appreciated Cheer…

Seems my 2005 CRV desel 2.2 CRV is after 136.000 mikes in need of a new clutch been given a priice of £1100 fitted does this seem a fair price? Its booked in for next week at the local garage I use. Alan
