CR-V 2001 to 2006

I need new tyres, what are the best for long life, at the moment i have Bridgestone Duelers fitted. Also the nearside rear tyre is wearing on the outside edge, i would appreciate some thoughts on this.

Hi All i am hoping someone can help me. i have an 06 MK11 CRV 2.2 CDTI it has recently developed a knocking noise on the front which i am unable to find the source of nothing cam up on the MOT and i asked them to look hard this isn't the most worrying thing though. When accelerating especially in second i get a strange vibration/wobble coming up through the car. It seems to be when the car is in the power band as the turbo comes on for example. Does the CRV suffer from drive shaft issues or prop bushes? The vibration was defiantly more noticeable when towing. i had the clutch and fly wheel replaced just over a year ago at Honda so i am hoping that it wouldn't…

Hello all, new to this forum after failing to find the Honda Karma UK forum. Does anybody know what has happened to it ?

Hi, any advice on how to solve this would be much appreciated, as I imagine it will cost me a few quid to sort it. Brief synopsis: The car is an 11 reg plate and as one who drives around loads with the job I was getting sick of road layouts being different in reality to what the sat nav still thought. I purchased a newer disc (eBay, sorry!) and it worked fine for quite some time. It then began to produce an error and told me to contact the manufacturer. As that wasn't expensive I don't mind binning it (I thought!) and took it out and replaced it with the original, which had caused no issues other than being a decade out of date. However…

My daughter and I each have a Honda CR-V mine is a 2006 reg 2007 and my daughters is 2010 model,we have noticed on both cars that the drivers side front tyre keeps on losing air, and we obviously keep pumping to get back the required tyre pressure. After a few days the tyre pressure goes down. This happens continuously over a number of days. Both cars have been back to tyre companies who clean the wheel and that’s it, unfortunately the tyre companies have been unable to correct. The situation in either of our cars, help can anyone suggest a remedy, the tyre conditions are nearly new on both cars, and it is only the front drivers side tyre that is affected

Can anyone tell me the size of the nuts/covers to hold the upper engine rain/dust cover in please on a 2005 CRV please. Also where I might get them looked on ebay couldn't find anything. Thank you

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…

Can anyone recommend a good after market source for clutch master/slave cylinders. I suspect the parts Ive used could be sub standard due to some ongoing issues. Seems to be a lot of different makes available with varied prices?

How do I replace the plastic headlamp lens on a 2006 mk2 crv

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 I was lucky to buy a used Honda CRV 05 plate about 4 years ago for £1800 with 120k on the clock. I have a good mechanic who has got me through my MOT's and it's been a great car but sadly this last MOT has come up with bad rust under the car and various other serious issues and because of the rust such as brakes and steering on both sides is in danger of collapse, deeming it unworthy of fixing. I live rurally and do drive through a lot of bad surface water due to heavy rains/flooding years round but nothing crazy other than road driving. I'm wondering if the CRV is prone to a badly rusting undercarriage to this degree or have I just been unlucky at the…

Hi all, new member here. Have any of you had an MOT failure for rear nearside passenger seat having too much play in the upright position? Have owned the car for 6 years and not used the fold down function at all, same MOT station too.

Hi all. Just thought I'd comment on access to the oil filter Mk2 2.0 petrol) in case anyone didn't already know! All the guides seem to state that you need to raise the car up to access the filter. We'll, having just changed mine I can tell you that's not necessary. If you point the steering to the right, you can easily reach the filter through the wheel arch. Simple. Next on the list is valve clearances...

2006 2.0 petrol auto CRV MK2. Had catalytic converter stolen few weeks ago - have now replaced full exhaust system including both sensors. Car starts and runs fine but 6 seconds after starting get er message for open circuit on the O2 sensor connected to the catalytic converter Have tested output and tried replacing sensor but same problem. Note that original sensor had a blue connector but all replacements seem to have a grey connector and same part number - not sure if this means anything. Auto electrician has suggested that output is only 6 ohms and should be above 10? Thanks for looking - appreciate any thoughts.

Hi CRV boffins hope you can help . Just had timing belt replaced but on driving the car the engine management light lit again . Should I invest in genuine sensor from honda to try to get light out .

Hiya My rear suspension is appearing to be (it is) sagging on the off side. The whole of the rear suspension seems to be lower than maybe it should be but is noticeably lower on the O/S. I've heard an intermittent clonk which appears to be coming from there over big speed bumps or dismounting a kerb. Rear Shocks? Springs? Ideas on how I could check this? **EDIT - I've just been under the car again and the spring has snapped! Not sure how I missed that!!??!! Cheers Jon

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. …

2001 Honda CR-V timing belt keep breaking after moving in less than a kilometer. Pls what could be responsible..

Hi everyone, I am a new UK owner as of today, and picked up a mk.2 CR-V 2005 facelift with 118k on the clock and in good mechanical condition. The price was cheap (£1500). However, underneath it is looking a bit sad. The car has been coated with some kind of waxoyl-like substance but it is hiding rust, which is now coming through in places. I have taken a video of the worst areas, please watch: https://youtu.be/s-y-HvzHw18 No metal is falling off yet, just the coating. I'm not sure how bad it is structurally speaking. The car has MOT until end of March, and the entire MOT history is almost perfect - no mention of any corrosion at …

We currently have a 2003 golf but we will soon have 3 dogs instead of 1 , two of which labrador size we want to stand/sit in the boot hence looking at a CRV As its to be shared and probably only do about 5000 miles a year we have decided on a auto petrol and we dont really want to send more than £3000 I know its like asking how long is piece of string but is this model version a safe bet for reliability , maintenance etc There are quite a few on autotrader but I know if we buy the wrong one it could cost loads...

Hello I have just purchased a new Kenwood DAB radio which comes with a windscreen mounted aerial. I have a 2005 CR-V with the side curtain airbags installed in the front a-pillar. I need to remove the pillar cover to install the aerial. I have looked online and cant seem to find much info on how, and if its safe, to remove it. In the Haynes manual it says any panels with a clip with airbag printed on it should only be removed by an Honda mechanic! I have attached a couple of pictures of the said panel. Any help would be much appreciated. Regards

Anyone had their cat stolen recently? I have so I tried this. Unbolt the bottom bolt on the nudge bars and lower them and drill new holes in the support brackets then bolt in new position. Thief can no longer get under vehicle. Then purchase a 120db PIR detector (cheap) and attach it anywhere underneath with magnetic strip so if thief jacks up car and goes underneath it will go off and scare them off. Cheaper than a new cat

Looking to 1> Remove the error message for tne screen. 2> Get a working SatNav for the car. 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.

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…
