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…

I have a 2008 FR-V and have noticed that in city driving it holds on to lower gears longer than it used to. On the motorway at light throttle, the revs don't drop like they used to. Transmission oil has been replaced twice during the life of the car, though I doubt the transmission oil filter was replaced. Any suggestions as where to look are much appreciated.

Right so lads another random question/topic on the Honda FRV. Has anyone ever installed bull bars (push bars) to the front bumper of their FRV? Also will a bull bar from say an '06 CRV fit the FRV? I'm told both are based on the same frame so thinking they might fit?..

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

I have tried to get my exhaust back box off my Honda frv and the exhaust nuts snapped in half how do I get them off or out

I have a 58 plate FRV 2.2 iCTDi and need to find the location of my oil pressure switch. Can you help?

The kids have finally broken one on the front-middle seat back cup-holders on my 2007 FR-V. Is anyone au fait with how to remove the whole unit so I can investigate? Thanks in advance, David (_8(|)

Hi All, I have a Honda frv auto petrol 1.8 2008 model. I have been having this issue with my FRV for a while, when in park my engine will intermittently vibrate it sometimes can vibrate very aggressively if I reposition the steering a little the vibration will die down for a moment and start up again until I reposition the steering or it eventually stops vibrating it self. This mainly happens when the car is in park or neutral. It doesn’t happen when driving. I have already replaced power steering fluid and the o ring as I thought this might be the issue unfortunately it did not help. My brakes and pads are all relatively new, my tyres are poor and do n…

Hello everybody, I am looking for front shock absorbers for my FRV. Where do you buy them? I can only find te oem ones,aftermarket nothing. I read somewhere that the shocks of a certain Civic model might fit. Ideas? Tips? Thanks😁

Just realised, glow plug light has started flashing, Honda FRV2.2 CDI Sport, any one able to point me in the right direction please, M.

Hello to all, My Civic mk9 2.2 idtec condenser is leaking and my local Honda garage was going to charge me £700 to replace which i think is asking too much. Just thinking how easy to replace it myself, just needs re gassing afterwards, i have basic mechanical skills but never had to do this sort of work. any reply's will be very grateful.

I have a 2006 FR-V 1.7 Petrol V-Tec (D17A2 engine) . I had to replace the crankshaft all back together but the green immobiliser light comes on. The engine cranks, but will not fire - no spark. The fuel pump primes - but the plugs are dry so no fuel getting to the cylinders. I replaced the battery in the key fob I checked the Immobiliser fuse under the dash and that is OK. Is there anything I have missed? Is there a wiring diagram for the immobiliser circuit anywhere? Thanks in advance for any help

Had a man check air con as not working - air con circuit dead to air con clutch. I then recalled that I had a error code reader although no fault on the dash appeared. Code P645 is the error code. So where do I go from here. I do recall several months ago the crunching of something and when turning off air con it went away. So I left it off. Recently turned on air con and no noise but no air con either! What needs to be replaced please and anyone know the part number. I think it is the air con clutch assembly but can I find one...no I cant ! Thanks Bobbybiscuit

Hi, ive been offered at FR-v 2006 sport, any tips or information would be fantastic before i accept and purchase the car

Hi, I own a 2008 FR-V 1.8 Trend automatic 4-spd, LHD. I'm looking to source new engine mounts, but prefer purchasing from a garage/mechanic/supplier to ensure I'm buying the correct items. I've done some research online, but the best I can find is this: https://www.parts-honda.uk/honda-cars/FR-V/2008/18-1.8-TREND/BODY-PARTS/ENGINE-MOUNTS-18L--AT-/17SJD501/B__4704/6/20644. The above link displays 23 parts, and I have no idea what's right to order. Any recommendations of a garage/mechanic/supplier who could help me would be much appreciated. Thanks much, Daniel

Hi all frv 08 2.2 cdti has been struggling to start the past couple of weeks today it gave engine warning light, plugged in OBD2 and it gave error code P1041 ive gave it a quick google but cant seem to find something definitive can anyone enlighten me as to what the exact problem is?

Can anyone tell me if the 2006 1.7 petrol has a timing belt or a chain please ? Many thanks

Hi so last week someone did a hit and run on the front of my frv. It’s bang on the centre and bumper is smashed and bonnet lip bent. I managed to get the bonnet open but now it won’t fully close so effectively it’s just open and in the latch. I can open the bonnet from the outside without using the bonnet release from the interior. This also means that the alarm doesn’t fully set (or so I think), as in when car is locked the indicators don’t flash and red dash light doesn’t come on. however randomly the alarm is going off sometimes through the night, or sometimes could go whole day and it won’t go off at all. I have covered the bonnet with a blanket and tuc…

Hi all started to get abit of blue smoke and read would be pcv valve does the deisiel 2.2 I cdti have a pcv or just a breather and where is it located a pic would be great if poss. Many thanks .

Hello. First of all sorry if there is mistakes in my topic as im not from UK and english is not my main language but i really cant find anything. So i had many cars before and never had issue like this before. On my Honda FRV 2005 1.8 left headlight is not working. I bought a car thinking i just have to replace bulb but no. I changed my led bulb, i checked fuses and relays and everything is good and even replaced them and still nothing. Im not sure where i can look for ar problem now any ideas?

I have a problem with fuel intake, the fuel pump is kicking in so I'm leaning toward a blockage but can't find any info online about frv's! Can anyone point me in the direction of the fuel filter please? 👍

Hi Folks, Im looking for advice on a good clutch kit for my '06 1.7 ltr Petrol FRV. I've looked and LUK and Edix has been mentioned to me, but I'm thinking of upgrading the clutch to maybe somthing like this: https://www.akr-performance.com/p/act-clutch-kit-heavy-duty-20t212mm-performance-street-sprung-disc-hc5-hdss. Has anyone upgraded their FRV clutch and or would anyone have any advice or suggestions on the brand/type to go for? Thanks, Anthony

Hello, is anyone selling a FRV auto? Thanks

Hello! The offside drive shaft of our 2005, 143,000 mile 2.0 Sport Vtec FR-V has broken so could cost the best part of £1,000 to replace and repair. Does anyone know where to get a good second hand one from and a driver's seatbelt with fittings, too? I can only find a drive shaft from Honda which is almost £800, way more expensive than the £120 it would have cost for a new, nearside driveshaft from an alternative supplier. And even Honda doesn't appear to stock a seat belt... so no point replacing the shaft if the car then fails the MoT due in July re the seatbelt issue... We are only the second owners and have had the car …
