HR-V 1999 to 2006

Hello , I want to convert my 4WD automatic to 2WD . It seems easy just remove the prop shaft between the gearbox and rear axle ? Has anyone done this ? If so any helpful tips would be appreciated . Thanks Bob

Hello lovely HRV Owners I have a 1999 metallic yellow HRV which has recently failed it's MOT, and I was advised it was beyond economical repair. It's at the back end. It needs new suspension thingies and sills, as it's badly corroded underneath in that area. Garage estimated 20 hours of work. (Sorry, haven't got paperwork to hand at the moment). The engine is good, and has done around 143,000 miles, and drives well. I've owned this car for 23 years, and I'm completely broken hearted that we have to part company. He's been like a best friend to me, and never let me down. Always starting first turn of the key! The reason for my post is that I cannot bare the th…

Hey, I just bought myself an 2004 Honda HRV. All is perfect with the car except some bruising and a missing dipstick tubing. Long story short, they broke it off in a service while switching oil. So is there a chance anyone can point me to a direction where I can find only housing for dipstick (plastic tube). Used or new doesn't really matter. Ps. Have checked junkyard near me and they don't have any Honda HRV.

I recently bought a second hand 1999 Hrv and it has an Immobiliser key and it has gotten damaged so now the circuit won’t complete and as a result the car won’t even do anything. Anyone know a way to totally bypass it?

I have a question about interior size of the original generation HR-V. I am 6’4” tall (190cm) and I am interested in a 1998 HR-V (2-door hatchback). The HR-V does not have a sunroof. I have driven a 2016 Honda Fit and a 2018 HR-V. Both of those had sunroofs and I fit OK. I cannot find interior dimensions (headroom or legroom) of the original generation Honda HR-V online. Will the 1998 HR-V be big enough for me?

Hi all again. I have this annoying shudder when starting off from stopped. It only lasts a second, then is gone, until your taking off from being stopped again. The car runs perfectly at all speeds in every other way. If it were a manual car, my first guess would be to think it would be the clutch, or as its a 4 X 4 prop bearings. May be significant, but it only does this after it has been running at least a few minutes, perfect when stone cold, no shudder/judder. I am going to try and discount the gearbox, by having a fluid and filter change. If that has muck in it from 86000 miles of use, (no evidence the fluid has ever been changed) that might m…

Hi all, just joined the club so first off thanks for having me. Secondly I have not long since bought a 2003 HR-V 1.6 petrol (103 horses) which is my little shooting buggy (going across fields etc) and I have a couple of questions... Does anyone have any recommendations on off road tyres for them and Any ideas on how I can eek a little more power from it cheaply? Steep hills mean 3rd gear to cope. Thanks and looking forward to your thoughts. Phil

I recently had to replace the cat on my car following a theft, and I opted to got for a sports cat since it was cheaper than an OEM part (Honda wanted 2k!) And while the car runs absolutely fine with no apparent problems, the EML light keeps coming on. I'm assuming it has something to do with the non OEM cat, but any ideas you may have would be appreciated. Car is a 2002 Honda HR-V 1.6 (103 4x4) if that helps. Thanks David.

Hello, I am looking for a lower bumper (?), especially the screws, because I've got some missing on one side, but neither I know how is that part called nor I can find the screws OEM number. I hope someone could help me. I've marked the part in the photo using red line. Thanks.

Hi, I am looking to buy a honda hr-v 2005-2006 with rear roof break light spoiler, but the garage I am about to park it has an arch at the entrance of 172 cm high, so I am not sure would it fit under or I'll scrape the roof. All online descriptions point out the car is 158cm tall from the ground, but not sure would that include the rear break light spoiler on the roof of the car going Trough whole rear width of it? Can someone measure it up and help me out please? I really want to buy this model as I like it a lot! Thanks in advance ☺

Just purchased 1999 HRV in immaculate condition with only 28,000 verified miles. Only issue is when initially pulling off the car shudders/vibrates occasionally but only for a few seconds then drives perfectly. I've heard comment of transmission fluid and filter? Is that possible?

Hi guys. I have a Honda HR-V 2002 model. I bought it and it had a towbar on it but the towbar had not been wired yet. So I connected all the wires to the corresponding wires on the car. But now when I climb in and out the car I get a little static shown. I'm wondering if its maybe an earthing issue? Or does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Fellas, I'm trying to buy second transmitter and key for me HR-V '99. The key is no problem, however transmitter with part number 72147S2HG01 is no longer available and service repair manual doesn't state which frequency its running on(Europe) which would be handy to find alternative once the parameter is known. Any ideas? Many thanks

I'd like to replace the speakers with something better (I think they're on life support at this point) but I'm having difficulty trying to find a set that'll fit. Could anybody tell me what the dimensions are and what recommendations you may have? Thanks.

Honda HR-V 2003 4wd, 5 door, 5 speed manual, RHD. Hi all, I was hoping someone on here has had a similar experience with water ingress into the front passenger footwell. I'm enquiring on behalf of a friend of mine who's in his 70's as he's asked me if I can do some research into the issue for him. I have looked very closely at both front passenger door seals, the inner door hole seal is fine but the outer is slightly perished and kinked around the door hinge. There is evidence of dirty water marks running down from the hinge on the door towards the front kick plate on the sill, so I believe that may be it's point of entry. The roof bars…

Hi, Honda HRV 2003 rear door not opening from the outside. Can anyone share a video please 🙂

Hello all. l was just wondering if anyone has had the same problem with their Honda car? The automatic box works well apart from this juddering when starting from stationary. It is the same in reverse as it is going forward. Not apparent at all when Stone Cold, gets worse as the car gets hotter. So l think that precludes things like engine mounts, or box mounts. I think it needs a filter and fluid change. What do you think, am I right, or is there something more likely that you know of with the benefit of Honda experience? Please let me know, any help would be gratefully accepted.

Just one minor advisory which was a small oil leak near the front of the engine. Not bad for a 20 year old car with 146k miles! 🙂

ive got a honda hrv mk1 some s**t nicked my catalytic converter so i bought new cat and lambda sensor but i cant get the exhaust gas temperature sensor that goes to middle of cat,ive tried everywhere even honda dont have it as its been discontinued,does anyone know how to get round this if not ill have to scrap it,thanks

04 4wd hrv with intermittent abs fault. Light spends most time off, however, when idling, it comes on. Changed abs master to no avail. Either with the original unit or with working replacement, driver side (abs directly above) shows faulty sensor. However, it clears and problem presented points to abs control unit. Any help appreciated!

My car is a honda hr-v year 2000 4wd 1.6cc petrol. This car was not ULEZ compliant until recently. As Transport for London only deems petrol cars with euro 4 standard as compliant, and my car is a 2000 model with a euro 3 standard, it automatically went into the non-compliance big sack. As I work just inside of London and need my car to get there, I was faced with the upheaval of replacing a perfectly working car for something else at considerable costs and hassle. I then by chance discovered that all hr-v models from 2001 onwards (petrol) are all automatically deemed compliant and do not have to pay the charge. As my car has the exact same engine as those later…

help and advice needed please! I own a HRV 2004 (original model) and the rear inner wheel arches have rusted out and subsequently the vehicle has failed its MOT. I have spent two weeks searching on the internet and breakers yards but replacements aren't around anymore. I thought someone out there may have had similar issues and maybe found alternative model wheel arches that can fit or be 'adapted' to fit or have a pattern to assist a welder. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. the car is otherwise still really good and reliable - it would be a waste to lose it just because of a couple of wheel arches!

Could anyone tell me where the Mass airflow sensor is on my 2000 hrv 1.6 vtec 4wd,. I want to clean it. Thanks Tim

Hi all, could anybody help with instructions on which type of rack I need for a roof box on the HRv?

Hi, I’ve been searching online for awhile for a wiring diagram for the 1999 Manual model and I can’t find anything for the wiring pin out for the instrument cluster. would anyone happen to have such information? I’ve tried looking through an online manual but can’t seem to find it as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
