Honda FR-V Club

This is not a step-by-step, just a brief overview aimed at pretty competent mechanics ; I could have done with this info to speed up changing mine. Honda wanted 1.100€ here, parts and labour ; the same Denso DAN985 is available on the net for 246€, it took me 4 hours including making the belt-tensioner tool, and next time would be less than half that. There's a series of pictures on the French Cardisiac forum, here, with a French text that is pretty inaccurate. https://forum-auto.caradisiac.com/topic/93607-tuto-révision-complète-honda-frv/page/2/ Look around 18th October 2018. It also shows the revised belt-layou…

Hi, my vehicle is suffering rear inner edge tyre wear. I am aware there is some adjustment that can be made on the lower arms, my question is - is there any adjustment that can be made to rear wheel alignment. I believe that the 'adjustment ' nut impacts on the rear camber and is adjustable for each wheel. Anyone can provide some more information on the subject or point me in the right direction ? My vehicle has clocked up 145k miles and has always been a bit heavy on rear tyres, even after 4 wheel alignment at a reputable garage chain, in fact on that occasion an adjustment was made but insufficient adjustment to be within tolerance. The cars history is known …

Hi all, Trying to find an aftermarket radio fascia for FRV but somehow I cant find anything, for a single DIN radio. What are you guys using please?

Hi All FRV 1.8 2008 Petrol. My parking sensor just gives a contant tone/continous long beep when the reverse gear is engaged. All 4 sensors click when touched. Ive cleaned the seneors even though they werent dirty inc using wd40. Ive disconnected the battery for a bout 5-6 mins but still no joy. Any one have any suggestions what could be the cause? Or what i can do do fix it? Im not going to be able to take the rear bumper off or anything. Not sure where the control module is or how to access it? Thanks for any advice

The left hand side of the silver tailgate trim that sits above the registration plate has been coming loose on the left hand side and now I'm worried that the right hand side might be coming loose as well. What is the best way to secure it? I'm not sure if something has snapped or just weakened, my guess is that whatever clips are used to hold it in place are either broken or no longer effective. My mechanic tried to glue it - I'm not sure what type of glue he used - but the glue came off within a week.

Please can anyone help me with my 2007 frv that has noisy front suspension when driving along over slightly uneven ground. From both sides directly under where your feet are. Possibly anti roll bar main mounts. No free play in any ball joints etc. Unable to check for movement when on the ground as very little space. Ideally need a 4 poster ramp so it stays at road going height but garages won't do it for less than a hours labour time. Has anyone had the same issues with noise. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi. Could You tell me pls what to do? I changed my alternator. And after that my radio is working but cd player isnt working. Does sombody have experience with this problem? Thanks

Hi. My 2007 1.8 petrol needs a new lock actuator. There are a few on eBay, but not for the exact same model of FRV. I’m assuming Honda wouldn’t have changed the actuators between years and engine types, but does anyone know for sure? Thanks

My 2006 Honda FR-V, 2.0l petrol has failed MOT with an exhaust leak, co content exceeding limits and lambda outside limits. My mechanic has pointed to the centre silencer, which is leaking at the joint with the rear section of the exhaust. Four years ago, I replaced the exhaust center silencer box with a pattern brand (EuroFlo) - I can't remember if as the OEM spare part was even available at that time. Is it normal for this component to wear out so quickly? I'm still using the original OEM exhaust for the rear section and that has lasted for 18 years and 100,000 miles without issues, whereas the replacement has failed after just four years. …

My remote control was becoming slower and slower to respond, and it got to the point where I had to press it multiple times for it to open/lock the car. I changed the battery, and at the time I remember having some trouble getting it to work. Initially it refused to work and then after pressing the buttons a few times it started to work. This was in early August. Then last week I went out; when I unlocked the car it worked perfectly but when I came to lock the car the remote control was completely dead. No gradual degradation like I had last time, and the battery was changed only a couple of months ago. I was able to lock the car with the key, but when I …

Hi. I need help pls. I changed alternator in my frv honda 2.2 i-ctdi. After that my cd player stopped working. My radio is working but cd not. Before change everything was fine. Anybody had the same problem? Pls let me know. Thanks

Hello 2006 Honda FRV with 120k miles on the clock. Reasonably recently had starter motor replaced and gearbox oil changed by local mechanic. Was driving fine. Some issues occasionally with clutch pedal - would press down and it wouldn't engage clutch so would have to come back up and press down again and then it would be fine. But pretty occasionally. Car used for towing a small caravan. Whilst towing gear selection failed entirely. With engine off, you can press clutch pedal and engage gears. With engine on you can press clutch pedal down but cannot engage any gears and if you try 2nd it makes a horrid grinding noise. …

Hi All, recently found myself a gem of an example of a FR-V with super low miles BUT it has a leak in the aircon system. If anyone knows anyone who specialises in either Honda or AC please drop a message with their details. I had it re-gassed and in 2 weeks its leaked out and no more cold air. My mobile mechanic says most of the time it is either the compressor or condenser. Could also leak from faulty o-rings in the hoses. car has done 53 thousand miles. Thank you

La Honda non produce più il supporto motore per la mia FR-V 2.2 D come faccio a trovarlo ? Translated Text Honda no longer produces the engine mount for my FR-V 2.2 D, how can I find it?

Dear Honda forum readers, I want to re-order to connector cable from the Satelite Navigation Radio system of my Honda FR-V 2005 2.0i. Appreciated if anyone of you can share me the partnumber that comes at the back to navigation display.

Hi guys, I've been having trouble with fitting a ball joint to a new suspension arm on the NSF of my 1.8 ES. I bought the part from Eurocarparts as I needed it quickly due to being driving to Wales the next day. However after some serious play in the steering, I thought it was a cheap and nasty ball joint so bought another. Same thing again.....I then looked at the wheel bearing and hub, and upon removal of the knuckle and the suspension arm (while they were still connected by the ball joint), I realise that the ball joint is too small for the bore hole in the suspension arm! The "fitment details" tab on Eurocarparts website doesnt say anything other than "Ho…

Hello all. I’m a fairly new Honda owner but have inherited a 1.8 FRV from a family member. There is major play in the NSF wheel which I have narrowed down to a bad wheel bearing (after changing all ball joints, tie rod ends, drop links and wishbones!). I want to change the hub assembly along with the bearing. But damn! They are hard to find at a good price! The part number is 44600-S7A-000. Will any others fit from other Hondas does anyone know??? I refuse to pay over £100 for something that costs £30 on other Hondas (including the 2.2 FRV). TIA for any help. Any pointers are greatly appreciated

HI everyone, I have a 1.8 Frv with 140k on clock, family owned from new. Very recently I can see inner tyre wear on both front tyres inner edges. Car drives ok and no unusual sounds when on steering. I'm away on holiday ATM so can't talk a proper look, or provide any pics. Recent Mot pass no advisors. Has anyone else come across this issue, I'm suspecting some kind if suspension issue. Thanks. Chris

Hi basically when I put me foot down there's a long delay until power kicks in. 2.2cdt1 frv. Could this be the egr valve maybe blocked.

Hello, haven't owned by frv long, it's a 2.2 diesel. Garage said injectors were leaking so changed all 4, still the car will not start. If we spray easy start into it it starts right away and drives absolutely fine. Any ideas I would be very grateful

Hi there, Just wondering if anyone has replaced the front middle seatbelt. Mine is damaged. Just wondering if the seat has to be removed to do so. Or can it slide in front the front if the bottom seat is removed Many thanks Steve

Howzit gents , Muhammed from South Africa with a 1.8lt Frv with 210000kms on the clock, time has come to replace my clutch and obviously checking out the various options . South Africa is a bit rough with Oem parts pricing so looking aftermarket, can anybody help with the correct Sachs clutch to buy

Hello I have a 2006 FRV with the 2.2 diesel engine. 125k miles. Today the car took several attempts to start. Before it fired it was just a fairly quiet whirring sound and no cranking or turning over. Then it fired ok. Is this an obvious problem/fix? I am really not a car person but does this mean starter motor is done for? All advice very gratefully received

Hi there, Any advice on the above? 2006 Honda FRV 2.2 crdi with 110000 miles. We have come back from a long journey and VSA and ABS lights suddenly came on. Not doing anything particular at the time. Drove the car a few miles, stopped and restarted it and the light went away. Drove normally, no problems but then this happened again several times. I knew we had a problem anyway with the brakes as pads were low by the time we got back and have had it at the garage for a caliper replacement on the rear offside wheel as well as new pads, which needed changing. The caliper had been sticking a bit and hoped that might fix the VSA issue. However it h…
