Hi Marv...welcome to the Forum That does seem a bit low....I would be tempted to go through a few things to improve the MPG....such as Spark Plugs, Air Filter, Engine Oil, all of which can improve the economy. After that, then I would consider taking the car on different runs to see where it improves....e.g. motorway versus Dual Carriageway, longer runs, etc. May also need a clear out by running some cleaning solution through the fuel and giving it a blast up the motorway. Depends on how the previous owner drove it and may not have given it enough of a clear out every so often.

Fitting a Dashcam to a CR-V
Trevor replied to Mark Adams's topic in Honda Audio / Video / Electronics / Security Systems
Hi Joe Bad luck about being hit before the dash cam is installed. Here is a link that should work https://www.drivn.co.uk/nextbase-dash-cam-hardwire-kit/ -
Hi Craig....welcome to the Forum That is a very odd one, and probably best looked at by an auto-electrician if you have already checked everything through yourself. I cannot personally think of anything else to check if you have already gone through it all. Let us know what you find as would love to know what the problem was Cheers Trevor

You don't need to remove the turbo as you run it through with it in situ. There are several different kits available so worth looking to see which one suits you best. Let us know how you get on with it

Hi Joe....welcome to the Forum I also own a CRV and have to say its the best car I've owned. Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi Andy....welcome to the Forum Sorry, can't be of any help to you as it would be something quite specific that either someone who has fitted one in the past or someone who works in the car audio industry may be able to help you. Good to have you onboard Cheers . Trevor

Hi Tom....welcome to the Forum I'm going to go for Turbo vanes gummed up as this is quite common with high carbon content within the engine/turbo blocking the movement of the variable turbo vanes. Would recommend a Turbo cleaning kit (available on eBay) to run through and see how that works. Additionally, if this cures it or even partially cures it then I would recommend a complete carbon clean out of the engine (Terraclean) or similar which would clear out the EGR, etc which could also affect the acceleration. The finally, an Italian tune up with good quality fuel always helps 🙂 Let us know how you get on with it all Cheers . Trevor

Not an ideal situation but at least for diagnostic purposes then it is what needs to be done. I would ensure that all lights (including boot light) are switched off and if it does go flat again then I'm sure they'll quickly find the fault

Try some glass glue (not superglue as when it hardens it can crack glass) or otherwise you used to be able to get mirror self adhesive pads (not sure is you can still get them) Try Halfords to see what they have in stock

Hi Berni Cannot believe that a 2018 Honda would actually be suffering from this type of fault. I also cannot believe it could be a short circuit or similar taking a drain.....except for the addition of a hard wired Dashcam possibly? I would be suspecting the battery (may have internal short circuit across the plates/bad cell) Let us know what it turns out to be Cheers Trevor

Oh well....back to the drawing board!

Thanks for keeping me in the loop...look forward to hearing the outcome

Yep, seems about right...Honda are way behind with their SatNavs and on-board electronics (e.g. Voice Control, SatNav, etc) compared to other vehicle manufacturers. Shame, because the cars are awesome but they could do with enhancing their infotainment systems to come into the 21st century. Good luck with it all

Hi Boris...welcome to the Club I think you'll find that the version you have is the latest one...I could only find a 2016 version to update mine as the latest one. It will mostly still work okay as I am currently running a 2007 version and it is fine in the UK as not much has occurred in the way of new motorways and A roads, however in Europe it is way outdated and would suggest using a SatNav (TomTom, etc) to navigate your route. Cheers, Trevor

Hi Patrick...welcome to the Forums Sorry, can't help on this one as not au-fait with London area. Hope someone comes up with a recommendation for you

Hi SimonUK...welcome to the Forum Do you have a screenshot photo of the page in the manual so that we can decipher the process of disarming the alarm (I assume you mean the ultra-sonics monitoring the interior) Cheers, Trevor

Hi Jerseyman .... welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard!
-
Hi Dino....welcome to the Forum Good to have another fellow CR-V owner onboard
-
I have to say that the technology used in Honda SatNavs and other onboard systems is way outdated compared to some other manufacturers....an area in which they could do with investing in.

Hi willyh and welcome to the Club The CR-V is a superb car but I have to say, so is the Jag as well....definitely a lifestyle choice though. I love my CR-V for the pure reliability and available space inside and the comfort and..... Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Not sure if this is the same model version but generally the rheostat is located near to the motor (if not on top of it)

Hi...welcome to the Forum It could be the file structure for the music stored on the flash drive. Maybe worth playing with the titles and format of the content to see if that makes any difference Let us know how you get on Cheers Trevor
-
Hi Tezza...welcome to the Forum The CRV is a great car and I can understand why you've had a couple of them. Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor
-
It sounds like it is broken and unable to refit if it has been ripped off....maybe Araldite or a similar adhesive would work
-
GDMurray how are you finding the CR-V in everyday driving (e.g. non-snowing conditions)?
