#55 of 6560 '97 CRV - Rear clunking noise while turning! by punkintoze Mar 10, 2002 (12:23 pm)
Hi! I am considering purchasing a used '97 CRV. I've done a lot of research and I am pretty sure this is what I want. I wasn't as crazy about the Forester or Rav. Anyway, I currently have a '98 2-door Civic Hatchback that I love, but am having a baby and need something bigger. Plus I own a dog. Anyway, this CRV has high miles (140k!) but I am on a budget. It is extremely clean. The only issue is that while turning the rear near the tires make a clunking noise, like "clunk, clunk, clunk...". The dealer just got the vehicle in and they haven't investigated yet, but they say they WILL fix it. We hear the noise turning left and right. The CRV is only $7,900. I won't be putting many miles on it so I am not too worried about the high mileage. Hondas are generally great cars and go for a long time. So, I'm wondering if any of you know what this noise could be? They said something about perhaps the wrong fluid being used? I don't know what that means. Any help is greatly appreciated! Chris
#56 of 6560 burning smell on the engine by rpunzalan Mar 10, 2002 (10:36 pm)
Hi,   I bought a 2002 CRV EX last December and its my first time to smell a burning-like smell under the hood. It was very strong the first time but time passed and its less now. Unfortunately, the smell is still there. The dealer told me that this is just the smell of the burning metal because its new. I though it was a leak on the exhaust. The dealer checked it and the exhaust is fine. I was told to give it a few thousand miles for it go away. Its been three months now since I bought the CRV and the mileage is 3000+ (went to Vegas) but the smell is still there. It wasn't as bad as before though. Has anyone had this experience? Is this normal?   /ron
#57 of 6560 gleeson3 - re: mileage by tntitan Mar 11, 2002 (5:34 am)
I have a 2002 - Ex with 4,700 miles I have averaged 23.4 MPG so far. Drive around 75 on the interstate and normal (not babying it) around town. This mileage is all city traffic but about half is interstate commute during rush hour. I believe the mileage would be 20 if I stood on top of the pedal all the time.
#58 of 6560 noise in the rear and burning smell by dudka Mar 13, 2002 (6:17 am)
the noise in the rear is an indication of needed dudal pump fluid change. the dealer should be able to isolate the noise and fix it by replacing the fluid.   the burning smell is most likely what the dealer told you, the painted metall parts geting hot and producing the smell. it is kind of the new car smell, most alot of people buy the "new car smell" air fresheners just to get that sensation

Hello all, I just signed on to this CR-V board. It's really cool to be able to learn and share with folks who have a vehicle like yours. Mine is a 2002 CR-V EX. How do you respond to a message?

#61 of 6560 question on 2002 crv ex - 4spd automatic trans by pop3p Mar 22, 2002 (3:20 pm)
I have had my crv for about three days but am having a difficult time shifting in to second and first gear (from drive). It looks like when I attempt to shift from park to second, the gear stopped at drive and will not go lower. To shift from drive down to second gear is very hard, it would not move down to second. Am I doing something wrong. ??????   thanks mike phuvie
#62 of 6560 question on 2002 crv ex - 4spd automatic trans by safronic Mar 22, 2002 (7:19 pm)
pop3p, I think the gear shifter(lever) does not follow a straight line. I've found it to be more like an Acura shifter, where you need to slide the lever to the left or right and then down to get it to change into the lower gears, and not just pull or push down on the lever in a straight line.   Hope this helps.   Moe

to shift to second and first don't move the lever to the left as you do for drive and reverse, from drive shift it straight down into 2nd and first.
#64 of 6560 not straight down by scname Mar 23, 2002 (12:29 am)
but assert just a slight force to the left while pulling down.
