#4166 of 6452 Re: Honda Crv Vtec problems and 4wd Switch [z1thousand] by blueiedgod Jan 31, 2006 (7:22 am)
Replying to: z1thousand (Jan 30, 2006 10:58 pm) I own a 2003 model crv and have noticed problems while accelerating. Between 1000 to 4200 rpm the engine feels smooth and good torque is also felt. But between 4200 to 4500 rpm then engine Hesitates and feels very rough and jumpy until it revs past 4500 - 4600 rpm. I notice this quite aggressively in 2nd 3rd amd 4th gears, not so much in 1st gear. Ive had the plugs air filter and oil changed - 10/40 full synthetic . Injectors also serviced and computer timing checked. only travelled 60,000 kms - 37, 282 miles. Also has anybody made a manual 4wd locking switch for there CRV ? i have taken my CRV on the beach a few times and found it very good but almost got stuck once i had stopped. the front wheels dug in and the rears wheels didnt kick in until it was almost to late...... a manual 4wd switch would solve that problem.   Change the oil to Honda specified 5W-20 weight, if you are lucky that goop (10W-40) did not damage the VTEC solenoid. If it is too late, you are looking at $800 repair.   Did you air down the tires before venturing out on the beach? Even JEEPs with lockable 4WD do that.   I doubt anyone has made a manual AWD switch as it is pressure activated and you would have to add an electric pump to pressurize the fluid to activate AWD. Once AWD overheats it will automatically shut off. Try replacing the fluid in the pumpking with fresh dual pump fluid. Do not use anything else.
#4167 of 6452 Re: Headlight Retainer Needed [fussycrvowner] by blueiedgod Jan 31, 2006 (7:25 am)
Replying to: fussycrvowner (Jan 31, 2006 6:38 am) Hello: I need to replace the headlight retaining clip on my '02 CRV. The clip got bent and allows the lamp to wiggle in the housing. The dealer states that the clip (a $2.00 part?) is not available separately from the assembly which would cost $300 - $350. Is there a way to get individual components separately without having to buy the entire assembly? I am open to collision parts sources or contacting the OEM suppliers.   Call local junk yards and see if they have CR-V's. Most have "pull your own" policy.
#4168 of 6452 rust on new vehicle at dealership? by pogs2006 Jan 31, 2006 (7:40 am)
Hello,   Has anyone had rust problems with their new 2006 CRV's?   The reason I ask, is that I was recently at a Honda dealership. It's January 2006 in Canada. So we are in our winter season. However, I was looking at the CRV inside the dealership and CRV's on the lot outside. I noticed that the muffler has rust on it. Could this be possible for a brand new CRV?   How can new vehicle have rust on the muffler already?   pogs
#4169 of 6452 Re: bought with low anti-freeze [redsox111] by user777 Jan 31, 2006 (9:29 am)
Replying to: redsox111 (Jan 30, 2006 8:47 pm) FWIW: when people refer to ATF, they are generally referring to Automatic Transmission Fluid. This is not to be confused with Antifreeze/Coolant Fluid.   I'm no expert, but I believe a manual (05 or 06) will indicate that you are to check your Antifreeze/Coolant level in the radiator ONLY when the engine is cold. Doing so at another time is very dangerous because it will be under pressure and at high temperature.   I believe the level that is really critical though is the one in the resevoir. It should always be between Min and Max. If it goes below Min, you have a definite problem and should check the level in the radiator (but only when the engine is cold) and the rest of the system for leaks. If at MIN, I think they suggest adding Honda fluid to the MAX line in the resevoir.   Ultimately, I think your level in the radiator will normally fluctuate a bit and perhaps not be at the very neck when you look in there (again when cold), but you should see it. If you can't even see it when it's cold, or your resevoir level (when cold) continues to decrease, perhaps you have an issue with the resevoir or piping to it, or a leak somewhere inthe system.   I'm sure your manual tells you to use a special Honda Antifreeze which is pre-mixed with water if you need to top the system off.   As for your manual which you do have, I'd read the section on Engine Coolant, and I'd call Honda at the number in the back of the manual you do have and request one for the 06. Provide them with your VIN. Also, I think an 06 manual is available under "Owners Link" when you register it with Honda. The dealership told you about "Owners Link" didn't they?

Replying to: blueiedgod (Jan 31, 2006 7:18 am) Thank you for your explanation. I appreciate it very much. There are so many people with so many opinions but no backup explanations. Your explanation was clear and easy to understand. Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Feb 01, 2006 5:40 am)

Replying to: heidi4 (Jan 30, 2006 12:54 pm) I'm with blueiedgod on this one. 10w30 is only rated to -10 C. 5w30 is rated from below -30 C to nearly 40 C and should be fine for your CR-V.   5w30 is what I use in my 1999 CR-V here in Indiana, which has the same engine as your 2000. And while we don't get quite as cold for as long, we usually have at least a couple of weeks that drop below 0 F (about -20 C) during the winter.

Replying to: theracoon (Jan 31, 2006 3:21 pm) I agree as well. I'm in Florida. Would pretty much any weight oil work from 5w-20 up to 10w-40? Coldest temp. in Jan. is about 28-30 degrees. Hottest in the summer is about 98. I use Mobil-1 5w-30 synthetic. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 31, 2006 4:59 pm)

Replying to: mikefm58 (Jan 31, 2006 4:02 pm) It's really the high number you should pay attention to. The low number is only an approximation and doesn't go through a scientific viscosity test.

Replying to: heidi4 (Jan 31, 2006 12:25 pm) No problem.
#4175 of 6452 Re: WHATS GOING ON HEAR? [italiadario] by heidi4 Feb 02, 2006 (1:40 pm)
Replying to: italiadario (Jan 27, 2006 11:23 pm) I think you should read through the messages on this website as it seems that someone else had this problem with a new car pulling to the right and it's a tricky thing but is not uncommon or unfixable. I can't remember the heading but it is something with "PTTR" in it.   Definitely go to another dealer though, it sounds like they've put you in their black book and will not listen to you anymore even if you are correct. Good luck!
