Hi all,
I am hoping someone will be able to help me fix a problem I have with a Honda CR-V from 2005 that I bought 2 months ago... It was running fine until one day it suddenly went in limp mode when I was in second gear. The management light came on and it kept going into limp mode in first and second gear. Since then, it has been doing this regularly and the engine management light is on most of the time, dissapearing for a day or two and coming back up together with the limp mode. 2 fault codes have been found which both correspond to "glow plug circuit malfunction". I ended up going to the closest Honda dealer (kidlington by Oxford, UK) who checked the glow plugs and said there were no issues with any of them. THey suggested it could be the relay and changed it. £230 later (+£60 from an electric engineer who initially checked the fault codes before I went to Honda), and 1 day after the new relay, management light is back on and limp mode is back, more than ever.
This is so frustrating. Honda said it could be the relay of an "electric fault". It's obviously not the relay but what garanti I have that they will not charge over and over for fixes that dont fix anything??
Has anyone ever had this issue with a Honda CR-V diesel? Anything you could recommand?
I love my new car but am not going to spend thousands on it after just 2 months... And I thought a Honda would be reliable...
Oh and the Honda guys also told me my break pads, disks and Osr calipers needed changing, as one pad was 90% worn and the calipers were sticking. Could this be linked to the management light and limp mode in any way??
Many thanks for any advice!
