Hi, I traced a coolant leak on my 2012 CR-V (EX-L AWD) to the coolant temp sensor located on the lower left side of the radiator. I have pulled apart all the hoses and the front bumper to remove the radiator and take a better look. The plastic housing around the sensor looks fine and so does the...

Hello everyone, I have a CR-V LX 2019 and just came back from service today where I got an oil change and a Multi Point Inspection from my local dealer. The report for the inspection showed low coolant level in the reservoir and sure enough it was almost empty. Now my question is, should I just...

Just wondering if anyone had done your own coolant change? If so, do you need a jack to jack up your V? I just watched this video and I think I should be able to it myself. However, I don't know if I don't use a jack (or a ramp), whether I would be able to reach the coolant drain plug? Any...

Dear all, Thanks again for reading. I read in this old thread that there was a recall for 2011 V on the rings, but I just used the Recalls | NHTSA to check with my VIN, and there is no such recall. Am I missing anything? Also, I was checking my engine oil level two days ago, and noticed that...

I have a 2016 Diesel 1.6 which had been using / loosing water (no visible leaks). It has been getting worse at starting with the start / stop feature failing to restart. This was followed by a glow plug fault on the dash and white smoke from the exhaust. Car is now in Honda, engine in bits. We...

The radiator in my 2004 EX is leaking in a couple places along this seam on the top. Is this a normal fault over time and, does this mean I will be replacing my radiator or is there a way to seal this? And the last 2 pics - this piece fell out of the skirt under the radiator. Know where it...

Hi, I have a 2014 CRV Exec 2.2 Diesel with manual transmission. I need to replace the engine coolant (code 5 in maintenance minder). I believe my instruction manual is not the correct one (my dealer replaced it) because oil capacity indicated in the specifications of the manual does not...

Hello, here's the summary Wife drove like 10 mins away, stop and go. Notices the temp guage climbing once she's sitting in a parking lot. Today I went to start it to see for myself and noticed the guage already reading operating temp when cold, so read about the CTS. My assumptions were...

So I bought my crv from the original owner who got sick and let it sit for a couple years. When I went and looked at it and took it on a drive it over heated and we drove it for about 3mins Back to the house I checked it over and it had no coolant so I added coolant and drove it home never...

I just bought a Honda CR-V 2004. The air compressor has been replaced twice during the life of the vehicle. The last time it was done was a month ago by a professional. I’m wondering since it’s been replaced, that it wouldn’t have a risk of Black Death or of it imploding. It seems to be turning...

TL;DR: CR-V won't idle (immediately stalls if the throttle is not applied) after attempting to clean the IAC valve. Have tried different valves, bleeding the coolant system, and resetting the ECU. It's entirely possible I screwed those up too. Background My CRV is mostly a '98 with a manual...

Hello, was hoping if anyone in this community who has dealt with Honda warranty have any advice.... I financed a 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid in October 2020. In March 2021 while driving, I get a message on the dash saying "High temperature power reduced". Take it in to the dealership, they work on...

Hey guys, back again. So, the past two months every time I idle for too long my temperature goes up and my car almost overheats until I'm able to drive again and then it slowly goes back down. I thought the issue was the car was low on coolant, but after a couple of times of the car repeating...

I was burping the cooling system while working on another issue, and noticed the coolant burping out of the radiator didn't seem to match the coolant I was putting in. The coolant I was putting in was clearHonda-compatible stuff I got from O'reilly, the previous owner (I've only had the car for...

Hello, I purchased a 2020 EX CRV 8 months back in the Boston area. I checked my coolant level today and found that it has reached min level. The car has had the first service a couple of months back and I've driven it for 13.5k miles till date. Is the coolant level drop expected? Should I just...

Hi there, I have a bright yellow (when dry with a green hue), slightly thick consistency fluid slowly leaking into my passenger side footwell. I’m assuming it’s antifreeze/coolant from the Heater Core behind the dashboard. There looks to be 5/6 drops a day on average. I could however be totally...

I have 2016 CRV SE with 37000 miles. It has gotten regular oil changes at the dealership. Yesterday, I turned the car on and it started shaking and jerking while in reverse. The check engine light, VSA light, electric power steering light, oil light all turned on. I shut the car off and...

Hello, I recently purchased a 2005 CR-V EX 5 Speed. The coolant was green and of unknown origin so I decided to do multiple flushes with distilled water. Draining the coolant is a slow process that I couldn't seem to accelerate. Since the thermostat is connected to the bottom radiator...

Hi everybody, I have a 2018 CR-V EX (with the 1.5L Turbo). With the ScanGauge plugged in, I notice that the normal operating temperature for my engine coolant stays between 80-83 degrees Celsius (176 - 181 F). I usually don't like to idle my engine for long periods of time, but on 2 occasions...
