Sanjay-
 
Sales is a totally different department than service- in fact they really have nothing to do with each other except for location. They have different hours, different cost centers, different employees, etc. Just because sales staff are working does not mean service staff are working; so I wouldn't compare the two. I recommend going to an auto body shop that has hours that are more accomodating than your Honda dealership.

When to replace Air and Cabin Filter by dmathew347
Sep 19, 2008 (9:07 am)

Hi,
I have a 2007 CRV with 20,000 miles, and wanted to know when is the right time to replace the air and cabin filters (none have been replaced so far). The manual mentions about a maintenance minder symbol that comes on, but i am not sure if they are for both the air filter and cabin filter, or just one of them.
 
Does a maintenance minder really come on when its time to replace them, or should i just replace them every xxx miles.
 
Thanks

Your manual says to change the Cabin filter and Air filter every 15,000 miles. I change both of mine every spring even if I don't have 15,000 miles on my CRV. Yes, your minder does tell you when the #2 shows up on your Maintenance Minder code.
 
Pollen filter $15.95 & Engine Filter $20.49 + $7.87 Ground shipping $43.81 total
 
They are cheep enough buying on Line.

At the risk of sounding cheap, can you just take these two filters out and "wash" them in soap water or something like that. I looked at my 2 filters today, and after close visual inspection, there's some gook and clutter, but they seemed like i could just wash or blow dry them away.
 
Would this damage the filters?

No go, swells them up and clogs them.

"I recently replaced the battery on my CRV 02, now I cant find the stupid code to enable to radio is there in hope out there?
How can I get tho codes? "
 
It should have been in the owner's manual rear cover. The dealer can recover the code, but they have to pull the radio, IIRC.

Urgent: Manual Trans Fluid Change related to current Clutch problems? by songofruth
Sep 25, 2008 (4:00 am)

On 13 September I had the manual transmission fluid in my 1998 CR-V changed. 4 driving days (to work, to home=1 day) later, the clutch started acting up. To the point that I almost couldn't get it into gear to back out of my parking space at work. There are 187K miles on the clock.
 
Could the two be related?
 
This is urgent because my DH wants to wisk my car off to get the clutch fixed - to the tune of maybe $800 or higher.... today!
 
To clarify: I can feel that the clutch pedal does not engage the clutch until I have pressed it down a few inches sometimes. There is a very clunky feel to shifting when it's cooperating. Most problems are when the car is at rest though sometimes have a problem downshifting. The timeline: trans. fluid change, 1 day of no driving, 4 days of only driving to and from work, 3 days of no driving - problems on the very next day.
 
His explanation skills are somewhat short. It just seems to me that if changing the transmission fluid could lead to easier shifting, then a bad fluid change lead to problems. Something he won't really entertain. If the clutch needs repair, that's fine.
 
Additional background: I can't remember if the manual transmission fluid has ever been changed before. Ditto clutch fluid. I don't even know if he checks it. Since 2000, my DH has been in charge of maintaining the vehicles. Although he hasn't done it the way I would have wished, it was easier to just let him deal with it than to have the fights about it.
 
Thanks muchly for any info/responses/advice/help.

Leather Seat Damage during other Repair (07 EXL) by arabam
Sep 30, 2008 (1:51 pm)

Here is the story: I had some discoloration on the center panel cover and my dealership offered to replace that part (only the titanium cover around the cupholders) under warranty.
After I picked up my car and came home, I realized that they damaged the side of the driver seat (a small cut - 1/8 of an inch). I do not know what to do know - it is a cut on the side of the leather seat and longer scratches around it - should I take the car back and ask them to replace the leather seat cover (which would be quite costly) or should I try to repair with a glue (since it is on the side and not directly visible - unless you look carefully from the passenger side).
This is quite annoying - I feel like this happens quite often - you take the car for one repair and end up having a number of other issues followed by that ./..

Honda 2004 CRV Engine Light (Grumbling/Humming sound) by washby
Sep 30, 2008 (2:46 pm)

The engine light in my Honda 2004 CRV came on and whenever i drive off from a stop and accelerate I hear a loud type of "grumbling/humming" sound come from the engine. I change the oil regularly and all of the fluid levels are okay so im not sure exactly what the problem is. The engine makes a "put put" noise whenever it is in idle. Another thing that I have noticed is that my engine temperature is about 15% to 20% percent higher than normal. My father knows cars pretty well and he thinks it might be the catalytic converter or one of the sensors. I was doing some research and it would be pretty expensive to replace all of the sensors and/or the catalytic converter especially if it is not needed. I was wondering how i could tell exactly what was wrong from my descriptions.

Washby,
Go to an autoparts chain, and have the error codes from your computer read. Then search the internet with that error code for your vehicle, or the autoparts store can tell you what area of the vehicle the problem is with. This is usually a free service. PepBoys, Autozone, etc
