CR-V 2007 to 2011

Hi All, Have just brought my first Honda CRV. Got the EX trim as recommended by a friend, and I’m glad I did. However, there’s a couple of issues I’d like some help with. Firstly, I know there’s a common issue with the diffs crystallising and fluid needing replacing, how often do you do this to avoid the problem? Also, the SatNav CD provided does not work (money was taken off for this) and it seems the SatNav CD will not eject from the slot. To be honest I was planning on upgrading to a new android system with DAB anyways, but I’m not sure the best place to look to get a unit. I would love some help with this,…

Was just wondering if anyone out there with the CRV clock problem got a surprise today as my clock has reset itself today

Hi Guys, If you have an Idling problem I have found a simple remedy which worked for me without having to use any tools 1. Make sure all car electrics are off 2. Turn the Ignition on and wait for 2 seconds 3. Turn Engine on and keep the RPM Revs at 3000 until the temperature reaches Max & the Cooling Fans come on 4. Once the Cooling Fans come on, lift off the accelerator pedal completely 5. Wait 5 Mins This should fix the fluctuation and Idling Problem, The engine needs to be turned on & off a few times for the Computer to finish learning. If the Idling is still too high turn the engine on & off a few times and wait a couple …

Hi Wondering if anybody else has had this problem as it does not seem that uncommon. We first noticed a pulsing in the steering when going slowly around roundabouts for example and have had it checked out. When driving normally its fine - no pulsing or vibration and vehicle responds properly, but when stationary up on the ramp, the steering can be seen to pulsing back and forth slightly. Fluid has been changed, alignment and pump checked out, but still doing it. There is a lot of online comment on this phenomena, but I can find no comment on the fix. The next step is to change the rack but I am loathe to do this as there quite a few stories about this not sorting the…

Hi Folks, The touchscreen/radio on my 2007 CR-V is completely unresponsive, as soon as the ignition is switched on this screen is displayed, i can't even turn the unit on or off, no button or combination of buttons work, it is just stuck on the warning screen, I also have an audio beep coming from the speakers every few minutes whilst driving, which is quite annoying. I have tried disconnecting the battery and the usual suggestion of holding the power button but nothing seems to work. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi all, I've have a Honda CRV 2010 and my rear window washer jet is blocked. I've followed the advice of you on this matter by reading up on others that have had the same problems and the suggestions that's been offered. I know the route of the pipes via a picture one of you posted so many thanks however I don't know how to remove the inside plastic panels to get to the pipe or how to take off the inner wheel arches without damaging the clips. Will the Haynes manual auto fix show me how?? I don't want to buy it and find it doesn't help, can any of you good people please let me know 1st ?? Many thanks Ian.

I have just bought a second hand 2016 1.6 automatic AWD. When cold the gears from 1st to 2nd is slow to change and even throws me forward because I’m expecting the car to change. However when warmed up, it changes ok. I have searched and found that some advice is to change the transmission fluid? I took it to my local dealer and they couldn’t find anything wrong with it, but did advise to change the oil in the transmission. plus how much would this cost? £330 from one garage and £90 from another. They did however update a couple of software updates and charged me £85 for looking at my car and the updates. Is that to be expected from updating the software? …

Hi, anyone know how to remove the plastic trim panel on the underside of the tailgate spoiler to access the led brake light? Thanks

Hi. I have a 2007 CRV and the radio reception is terrible. Does the car have a radio signal amplifier? Is there anyway of boosting the signal or could my aerial be damaged in anyway? Can anybody suggest how to improve signal or how to get to the wiring in the roof to check?

Hope this helps other Members BAZZER RN 1

Hi, I wonder if anyone can offer some advice please. I have a 2016 Honda CRV on a 1.6 diesel. I am changing the air filter and I have undone all three clips. However for the life of me, I am unable to remove the housing to access the filter. I can see that here appears to be two slots to the right that the housing fits in, but still having a nightmare. Any tips please.

Hi just had a genuine Honda Towbar fitted with all wiring looms , my question is does the towbar automatically turn off the parking sensors when plugged in ?

Hi All. After breaking down in my 2007 crv 2.2 diesel I had a new intercooler fitted and my turbo was sent off to be rebuilt. All seemed fine until last Sunday. I was driving on the flat at approx 60mph having done approx 30 miles. No warning lights, no noises, no smoke but from nowhere I had no throttle response and the revs started dropping until it cut out. I switched everything off, started engine again and off I went until the same happened again about a mile further. RAC detected nothing including on their diagnostic device. Took it back to the garage who stated everything was in full working order and no faults or error codes were found when they ran a diagnostic c…

How do I reset , Tyre pressure Warning

I have a 2007 CR-v 2.2 which has a radio/cd system which has only3 connectors, does any know of a way of upgrading to a multi connector sat/nav system may by way of a loom upgrade. Malcolm.

Hi all sorry to ask another question but we have a leak under the car every time we use the fan in the car on air con or not and there is a pool of liquid under the car when we have parked up. I have checked all the fluids that I can and taken the car to the garage but he cant see anything. I thought it might be a leaking air con but it also happens with just the blower on. Thank you again for any advice.

Why has the reversing camera stopped working on my 2007 CRV Ex? The reversing lights work OK. The camera flashed & stopped working. I guess an electrical fault but any advice is appreciated.

Have just bought 2010 CR-V 2.0E auto very pleased with it but steering is quite heavy. I believe it is electric rather than fluid. Any ideas would be very welcome Beep

Hi. I have a 2016 1.6 I-Dtec SR CRV. It has the engine warning light on which has been diagnosed with needing a new 'Air fuel ratio sensor 1'. The error code are Error code: P0133 and P2A00 The local Honda dealer has quoted me over 700 pounds to supply and fit the replacement sensor.. the car drives fine and fuel consumption is normal. So i'm looking to get a non-Honda replacement and a local specialist has recommended Denso as a alternative, but the problem is finding and sourcing the sensor needed. The Honda part number is Part number: H36531RZ0G01 Does anyone know where I can source a replacement sensor and what product numbe…
