Dear all, I have acquired this month my 3rd CRV, 2nd generation 242.000KMs, and wish to put some extra care on it. It has done all services except last 10.000KMs. The (owner's) technical control has been performed this Saturday, which indicated the need for: suspension system maintenance (I...

My MK4 (2014) 2.2 i-DTEC CRV has been to the dealer 4 times this year for a DPF Regen after spontaneously entering limp mode. I want to know when to do a longer drive before I get the dreaded limp mode. Is there a diagnostic scanner tool that will read the PM level and possibly also indicate...

Hi, We own a 2009 Honda Crv EX 2.2 diesel car for a year now. A couple of months back we've noticed the car battery went dead twice on us so we decided to invest in a new one. To our surprise 2 weeks later the new one went dead too! So we swapped the old battery (thankfully didn't get rid of...

Daughter has the 2.2 Diesel, 2006 on a 56 plate (UK) probably has 220,000 miles on it. Sudden problem is that the car doesn't want to move. It is parked on our drive on an ever so slight incline and to move forward in 1st it is taking 2,000 - 2,500 rpm to set off, and having to rev the nuts off...

Hello, First post here. Had my CRV for about a year and I'm loving it. On Saturday the Car cut out while stopped in traffic. All electrics went so no hazards or steering. After 5-10 minutes it all powered back up and started as if nothing had happened. It then happened again on Tuesday night...

Hi A few weeks ago my CRV began making a sound intermittently from the engine, both from a cold start and sometimes when it had been running for a while. Best described as something rattling around/scraping sound. When I increased acceleration it would stop but then when it returned to ticking...

Hi, I can't find the power transistor on my 2005 UK diesel? It looks to me like the ECU is below my blower which I haven't seen on any 'how to fix my transistor' video. Any help appreciated, Chris

We have a 2005 diesel CRV with 160,000 on the clock. Full service history - and has been trouble free and reliable ... until now. Car started up fine on Sunday morning - backed out of our driveway and proceeded 500 yards before stopping dead. Tried restarting but it just spins and doesn’t fire...

Hi, I have a Honda CRV 2.2 diesel, it´s a 3 gen body (year 2013 though). I just recently bought this car and i soon found out that it acted quite strange when i was turning, like the steering wheel was pulling back and it is also feels rather heavy. The tires are 235/60R18 and are a little...

Good evening My CRV has recently developed a very annoying low pitched squeak within the cabin. Thought it was brake pads and discs, however had them checked and they are fine. Have checked everywhere but to no avail. Even removed all contents from car as well as roof bars and bike carriers...

My a/c has just packed up and blowing warm air to me. Had the gas checked and topped up to correct level/amount. Still not working. I can hear a clicking noise next to the compressor when the a/c is switched on/off. Does this mean the compressor is working? I know there was a service bulletin on...
