CR-V 2007 to 2011

  1. Dear Forum, I have a question if I may please ? we have unfortunately lost one of our keyless fobs for the above vehicle. I've contacted 2 dealers to get prices for replacement keyless fobs, both have quoted eye watering prices, we are talking nearly £500 from one & £650 from the 2nd ! I expected a replacement to be expensive but wasn't prepared for those kind of prices. I'm just exploring different options, we may be able to claim from home insurance for a replacement for example. Are there any independent replacement key specialists that anyone would recommend or is this dealer replacement only ? Thank you in advance for your considered opi…

    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? …

    Hello. I have seen a previous post regarding a leaky boot and the spare tyre well filling up. Before I start tearing the rear apart, has anyone actually found the ingress point yet? Seems to be quite common but no online solution as yet. Thanks all.

  5. I purchased my Honda CRV from a Honda showroom; my sole reason was that my old car was old and high mileage and buying a newish car gives you the sense of security that there will be no fault. I have just hit a year and I have only done 4000 4500 miles on car due to covid reasons I started feeling here gear shift and occasional gear change that felt like two metal plates grinding. so, I took the car into to Honda as I paid for service and its under warranty. they asked me to leave the car for assessing for a day. I got a call back in afternoon car is ok to drive but there might something up, so we need to book it in for 2 days to look in gearbox and clutch. so, I handed m…

    Good Morning Folks. I'm getting a clicking noise occasionally about 3 secs after I pull away on my auto CRV. My garage can't replicate the issue but say there is some play in one of the front drive shafts. They are saying that none of the motor factors they use carry them and it would have to be direct from Honda £725.00. They did find somewhere that recon them but they are dubious that they can get the parts to recon it if they send it to them. As the click is only minor at the moment and they cannot confirm that it is that I'm going to wait till it gets worse to confirm it is that and not a wheel bearing maybe. My baby has just hit the 129000 mark so gu…

    My CR-V went in for it's 4 year service and 3 days later I drove it, parked up did some shopping for an hour and came out and it wouldnt start. I called my breakdown company and they came out and it started straight away. The same thing happened last week, called the breakdown and they jump started it. it was fine, ran it for few hours but the next morning it wouldn't start. Charger said it was at 50% so charged to 100%, the next day it failed to start. Recharged battery, disconnected it from the car and left it overnight. Reconnected it back up and it started. Does anyone know anything about this type of problem in the 2017 CR-V iDTec please? I'm having to take i…

    Hi I have hona crv 2018 1.6 160km diesel .I have problem with my fuel tank capacity. Basically in my manual fuel tank should have 58l. But when I refueling car from empty (low fuel light and computer shows 30 miles range) i can do 43- 45 liters maximum. I was refueling car 10 times so far and always is same. I can understand reserve tank need some fuel but 13-15 liters and 30 mies range is something wrong in my opinion. Please tell me how many liters you can put in your crv? Many thanks.

  18. Hi all, Just after a bit of advice, have the 2.2 diesel 58 plate. There is a leak on the power steering hose. Was told that the honda accord 2.2 pipe would fit.. it doesn't. (Tried this because the accord pipe was £20 compared to the crv pipe which is £96). The only difference was the thread was different and the male connector was wider. Anyone had the same problem and know a way to find a cheaper one? Every single scrappy I've contacted has sold out of them as soon as they get them in and talking mega bucks going to main dealer which we can't afford. MOT due soon and it will definitely fail on the amount its leaking. …

  20. I am a senior who really likes his new CRV but I just discovered fishing in a bass boat. The problem is bass boats are heavy and expensive. Is it nuts to tow a boat that is a couple hundred pounds over the 1500lb tow rating. All my fishing is 15 to 20 minutes away from my home and fairly flat. Any thoughts and yet I am going to add a transmission cooler just to be safe. I would appreciate anyone who has experience with this and their thoughts!! Thank you!

    Model is a CRV SE (2016) 2.0 petrol manual This issue has just started - warning comes on after 4 or 5 mins driving Before warning appears it does auto stop as expected Disabling the AutoStart via button below handbrake removes message Warning seems to indicate battery, but there are no other issues with battery starts fine, very quickly Battery is an EFB model, EuroCar parts showing a price of £399 ! Other suppliers show £110 AGM batteries as suitable when using Reg number to identify 399 is an expensive experiment to see if it fixes issue Do you really need to use the EFB battery ? Any other suggestions please ?

    Hello, I was stuck outside of the UK since June 2020 and could not come back until now May 2021. The car was left in a garage all this time and was not driven/started for months. I tried jump-starting it using a NOCO BOOST and using another car but nothing happens. There is not even a sound, the lights don't come on. Would anybody have any ideas? Is this most likely just a zeroed out battery? Or am I doing something wrong? I am using the big bolt pin on the chassis as the ground terminal. I am really surprised that nothing happens. I would expect at least the starter motor to turn. The car is automatic, so I can't even release the …
