I put a Tuning Box on my CR-V 2.2 cdti and it gave it much more acceleration and smoothness in driving but the trade off was the clutch slipping when the power is put down. The clutch plate is fine and not worn but the pressure plate is an auto-adjust type and the power would cause the clutch adjustment ramp to go over the threshold and relieve the pressure on the driven plate causing it to slip. If you didn't plant the power on all in one go then it was fine but beware, the CR-V isn't meant to be fast and there is a trade off

Hi Andy Sorry to hear the CR-V is playing up after all this time of being very reliable. I would not imagine it to be a CV joint (which should also be replaceable as a separate unit and not the whole shaft) It may be something internal in the transmission and may benefit from a fluid and filter change

I would agree with @ToddBonzalez It is more than likely the A/C system relay at fault

E10 should be fine for use in the short term You can check it here: https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-e10-petrol

The mileage doesn't matter then as the time is overdue for replacement (as rubber components degrade over time)

I think ToddBonzalez is referring to the clutch on the air conditioning compressor - can you hear a rather loud clunking noise when engaging the air con?

Timing belts replacement periods are based on mileage and also time. Mostly it is 60k miles and 5 years but worth checking when yours was last replaced and if unsure then change it regardless

That's very true! there are cameras everywhere nowadays so no avoiding them

Hi Charles...welcome to the Club Glad you are happy with your new Honda As you say, there is a vast variety of clever functions throughout the vehicle. Some of which is selectable and others are passive but either way it definitely enhances safety and driver convenience. Good to have you onboard!

Thanks for the update Neil Keep us updated on anything interesting you find over time, I'm sure other functions will slowly become apparent over time

I have had this problem in the past and had to adapt my speech (talking slower) to see if that made any difference....it did and also then accepted some choice words which also worked 🙂

How many sensors did they have listed for it and can they be interchanged (if the same part number) so you can try the other sensors if faulty

I think there is a post in the forums that covered this some time ago. Try a search (top right corner of screen) and see what's there

Sounds like the belt is shredding as either the alternator or the air con compressor are seized. You will need to remove the belt and see which pulley is not rotating.

May be the only option as done it in the past as long as you have a replacement one to hand

Hi Jeff....welcome to the Club I would probably go from the part number and see which others share the same compressor. Find the number and put it in an eBay search and hopefully should list other models with this pump fitted

Hi Mark.....welcome to the Club Chances are it may be the belt slipping or broken. Also, when I have stored up cars over the years then the alternator can seize which is evident by the belt slipping and burning smell. Worth seeing it the belt is in good condition then running the engine to see if the alternator pulley is rotating then go from there with electrical checks on the alternator connections

Check the hoses going to the washer jets and it should leave a trace (stain) on the engine where it is dripping

Hi....welcome to the Forum A lot of modern automatic transmissions are sealed and can only be drained and then refilled at most. If it is not faulty or leaking then it should be fine and not worth worrying about until it is due for routine maintenance

Hi....welcome to the Club That's a tough one as the only way you would really know how much is in the tank is to run it out completely and then refill it to gauge the quantity. I would imagine it does have in the region of 13 to 15 litres but the range is only really an estimate based on driving styles and conditions.

Hi Ian......welcome to the Club It sounds like the air con system is not working and its just running off the standard heater system. There is an issue with the air con relay which can be sourced from eBay at little cost (Denso relay). You then have to reset the air con system .... plenty of info on YouTube how to do this and if it has triggered the engine management warning lamp then this will need to be reset Let us know how you get on with it

Hi Kelly....welcome to the Forums You should be able to source a company in your local area that can repair or make a new one at very little cost. These companies usually make hydraulic pipes and hoses for diggers and trucks but can replicate your one if you take it in with you. Let us know how you get on with it

It's usually in the door pillar area or if not then should be on a card that was supplied with the car originally

Hi....welcome to the Forums Haven't had any experience towing with an Automatic CR-V but I would say it is a case of going at a slower pace and not relying on the engine for braking so much (which would load the transmission)....then it should be okay without any mods.
