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 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 everyone, had a FR-V for a week now, 2.2 diesel, 103 k miles, plenty of history. Anyway, OSF front brake seems to be binding and getting slightly hotter than the other side, it's not as bad since I've cleaned everything, greased the slide pins, rotated the piston and pushed it back and put a bit of brake fluid under the dust seal. I might have to puta caliper on if it doesn't settle down. Looking at the history it has niffin brakes on the back and sumitomo on the front, is this normal? Also i can't find a sumitomo replacement caliper. Coxs honda lancaster say they aren't available anymore. I take it i need to fit a sumitomo caliper as a niffin wouldn't fit? …

Hi, My FRV car alarm is constantly sounding. The key fob locks and unlocks the doors, and the car can be driven, but the alarm keeps on sounding intermittently. The car alarm must have drained the battery, which has been replaced. I have changed the batteries on the key fob, and tried disconnecting the sensor attached to the bonnet mechanism/ lock. Nothing seems to work. If anyone has encountered this, and can suggest a fix, I'd be very very grateful! Thanks

Hi ! I'm in the UK and have a Honda FRV 2005. So basically my heater blower has stopped working. I have replaced the resister pack and that has not fixed it. The fuse is fine too. So now I am trying to replace the actual blower motor itself. I have unscrewed the 3 screws holding it in place but it cannot drop down far enough for me to pull it out because the ECU is in the way. So, now I need to remove the ECU from its casing, which is directly below the blower. Once this is removed there will be enough room for the blower to drop down. There are 2 screws/bolts at the front of the ECU, one on each side, I have taken these off however there is something else …

My windscreen washer has stopped working. The rear window washer still works. Is there a fuse I should check? How do l get at the pump?

Hi all, can back to my 06 frv yesterday in a car park and found the drivers side mirror had been fully pushed back. Normally when this happens can usually just push it back and after a few attempts the power folding sorts itself out and gets in sync. However this time the whole mirror is just flimsy and can be folded in by hand and easily. When turning the car on can hear the motor in the mirror whirring away constantly and doesn’t stop and power folding does not engage. is this fixable or should I look for a replacement mirror? Does anyone know how to take the mirror unit apart and what I should be looking for?

After 15 years of owning the FR-V in London, my catalytic converter was stolen yesterday. Really pissed off. Having seen a post from here the uk.hondaownersclub.com. I've bought a replacement from https://catman.co.uk/ I'm not a mechanic, so hopefully it will have all the bits I need. Then its just another waiting game, as it might get stolen again. Is this be coming more common?

Hi all, my wife has an FR-V which the blower motor packed up on. I tried the regulator first but it turned out the fan was broken so I sourced a replacement which is working. The controls on the dash increase and drop the fan speed fine. The issue is that we're not getting any air out of the screen demist vents or any of the cabin facing vents - sides , middle or downward. I've taken the filters out behind the glovebox and am getting good airflow there. I can see the flaps opening when I put the screen fan on and cycling through the downward and forward facing options see the actuators changing. I have spotted 3 of them and all seem to be operating. Can…

Hi there. I own a Honda Frv 54 plate. My nearside rear abs sensor is faulty and I can't for the love of god find anybody that sells a replacement ! Are there any other Honda vehicles that share the same abs sensor ? Please help as I'm beginning to lose my mind.

Hello guys Just has a quick question, I've recently upgraded my headunit to a new pioneer double din, ive used the connect 2 interface and the new stalk patch lead for the steering wheel control however my controls for the stereo do not work, the green plug which plugs into the back of the original factor stereo remains untouched as I am not sure if it has the cruise controls connected to it as well. Could you guys help me understand how to get the steering wheel controls to work pls Many thanks

I've been having charging/battery problems over past few weeks, resulting in a no start after a short drive..... normally solved by a 10 min drive after a quick push or jump start. It's now apparent that the alternator doesnt work, hence requires changing. Looking at the alternator and its location makes me think this is a major job as it's in a very tight area to get to. Any help or pointers would be marvellous

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

Hi I am really hoping some one can help me out.
