New CRV 2009 Owner

[Ricki1991]

Hi All,

 

Have just brought my first Honda CRV. Got the EX trim as recommended by a friend, and I’m glad I did. 
 

However, there’s a couple

of issues I’d like some help with.

 

Firstly, I know there’s a common issue with the diffs crystallising and fluid needing replacing, how often do you do this to avoid the problem?

 

Also, the SatNav CD provided does not work (money was taken off for this) and it seems the SatNav CD will not eject from the slot. To be honest I was planning on upgrading to a new android system with DAB anyways, but I’m not sure the best place to look to get a unit.

 

I would love some help with this, thanks in advance!

Hi....welcome to the Club

The CRV is a superb vehicle and generally does not give many problems

The diff - you'll know when the fluid needs replacing when it starts to knock and clunk on hard turn onto a driveway for example

Just get a couple of litres of the correct fluid and easy enough to replace in the rear diff

 

Try IceboxAutos for aftermarket audio that is designed to replace the CRV standard radio
