CR-V 2001 to 2006

  1. Started by rayintheuk,

    Hello everyone. Can anyone advise me on the subject of CR-V headlamp glass. Mine are a slightly cloudy finish which doesn't wipe away. Can anyone tell me if it's a permanent effect that is impossible to remove or polish out, or can the effect be removed somehow. I see that replacements are expensive even from breakers yards. Thanks for your attention. Ray

    Hi, this question relates to a 2003 Honda CRV Initial apologies as this question, in various forms has appeared before but I have tried all the solutions suggested. Occasionally I have had to change the battery and once reconnected I have all sorts of issues with the alarm going off. Normally I have found that messing with various things like using and holding the key in the door lock causes the frequency of the alarm going off to decrease till once the intervals exceed 2 min, then the alarm stop completely. Currently, after replacing the battery, the alarm only goes off if I lock the door (using either the key or the fob). Leave it unlocked and it’s fine. …

    Greetings and a Happy New Year to everyone. I felt I must attempt to share this problem with other CR-V owners. My driver side seat belt in my 2005 CR-V often fails to return to the correct position when it is released after use. It generally sits around the floor and prevents the driver side door from closing. I am aware of the cause most likely coming from the inertia reel which is fixed at a low level, behind the hard plastic trim situated between the two doors. The problem is mainly how to gain access to the reel without doing too much damage. The trim covers quite area, and with no obvious points of fixture using screws I assume the …

    We have a 2006 crv and we can't silence the alarm even with the engine running. I'm wanting to know where the alarm sounder is or if there is a fuse that can be removed to shut the thing up.

    I have a 2006 CRV petrol exec manual with 117,000 miles which has been showing the engine management light after about 20 mins of driving. Fault code is always the knock sensor. I erase the fault with OBD and the light goes out but always comes back on again sometimes after a day and sometimes after 10 mins!! The car is not "pinking" and seems to be running perfectly with no odd engine noises at all even when listened to with a stethoscope. I tried new plugs just in case but didnt fix it. I have so far fitted 2 new aftermarket knock sensors and they fix it for a while but the fault code soon returns. I have even tried disconnecting the sensor but it still lights the engin…

Can find them on eBay but none of them state that theyr'e suitable for the 2005 CR-V, and asking the sellers a question (I've messaged three of them) gets me no reply at all. Would be most grateful fo a reply.

    Hello everyone I know many of you will think OMG doesn't he know that! But having skimmed through the whole owners manual I still cannot find what the panel on the rear door of the CR-V is for. Looking from the back of a RHD car it's the panel with an obvious gap around it located on the LHS directly beneath the door handle and model letters. At first I thought it may be a storage area, with maybe a corresponding entry behind it on the inside of the door but it's not. I assume that on a LHD car there's one on the opposite side! Any answers please on a postcard to The Dummy in the Honda CR-V Northamptonshire.

    So the saga continues, have had problems since day 1 with wobble from my CR-V. 2007, MK2, 2.0 Petrol, Manual. When i got it, at 50 mph the side to side wobble in the car was pretty bad. Had the wheels balanced - no change Changed the drivers side drive shaft - seemed to fix the problem, except a slight wobble at 20mph. Drove to france towing a caravan, something let go bad, the wobble got super bad. Ordered a 2nd hand drive shaft and intermediate shaft from eBay - wobble mostly gone, except at 55mph again it would do it Ordered an Intermediate shaft from AUTODOC, went to fit it last night... total garbage. So, whilst in the …

    Morning everyone, I am wondering if the forum can help me with a fairly simple question. My wife’s battered but much loved 2003 CRV, a few weeks ago developed an annoying habit namely if we open the back door to load, say shopping, after 30 sec there is a click and all the doors lock. The obvious danger is if we had accidentally put the keys on the floor of the boot and then closed the back door, we are locked out of the car. The accident just waiting to happen, did. Fortunately with the help of a host of bystanders, a coat hanger, string and a magnet, we managed to recover the keys. Further to add, no we don’t have a spare set of keys. …

  15. Hi everyone, my CRV 2004 Automatic is showing error codes P0135 (O2 Sensor heater circuit Bank 1 sensor 1) and P0131 (O2 sensor circuit low voltage Bank 1 sensor 1). I'm currently browsing three websites—GSFcarparts, EuroCarParts, and Autodoc—to find the correct parts. However, there are numerous variations, making it challenging to decide. For example, on the GSF website, the DENSO LAMBDA SENSOR - 315MM is priced at £150.40, while the same product on the Autodoc website is £40. I'm unsure which one to choose. Can anyone offer advice on which option I should go for? car reg: RJ54OAH

  18. Hi all, I have a leak in the power steering hose of my CRV MK2 2.2 Diesel 2005-2006 RHD. Please see the attached image for where it is leaking and image of what the whole part looks like. I took my car to the garage and they couldn't get any genuine replacement parts so they wouldn't fix it. I have been looking online but I can only see replacements for either 2007 Honda's, 2006 Petrol or LHD 2006 diesels, but non for my model. Does anyone know where I can get an exact replacement part or another model that will fit or how to fix the hose? Otherwise my only other option is for me to go the wreckers. Thanks.

  19. Hi everyone New member here, hello! I have purchased this car to be a farm run around in a field, pulling a trailer, roller etc. The car is 4WD (a key requirement for me when buying) but this appears to be ‘automatic’ rather than engaged through any controls on the dash. On its first outing the car got stuck in a muddy field very quickly and it was not easy to get it out as it got stuck every time it was freed again until it was virtually back out the field. I had done some research before buying and saw people off road with their CRVs and some very steep hills so I am disappointed with my experience to date. Have joined the forum to underst…

  20. I'm trying to fault find a 2006 RD9 2.2 Diesel CR-V. Intermittent crank no start. When working (i.e. crank and start) ignition is switched on a range of lights illuminate on the dash, including EML and Glow-plug light. After 2 seconds, glow plug and EML go out. Turn key to start, Engine cranks and starts. When not working (i.e. crank no start) ignition is switched on a range of lights illuminate on the dash excluding EML and Glow-plug light. From this initial position, if I turn key to start, engine will crank but not start. Turning ignition off and back on again repeatedly (1-25 times) will eventually see the correct EML and glow plug light briefly illuminate a…

There are just two switches, right and left, on the interior light - and they just turn the individual lights on and off; and if you leave them switehed on they drain the battery. C'mon, I'm missing something here. Will someobody please help me? cheers, Barrie
