Replying to: jfigueroa1 (Sep 14, 2008 2:14 pm) 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.

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. -Melody

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 ./.. |

| 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. | |

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

I have the '07 AWD with about 17,000 miles on it. A week ago I noticed that when turning sharply from a stop or when backing out of the driveway and turning sharply there is some rough and slightly jumpy pushback in the steering. It occurs while the wheels are fully turned. The power steering reservoir is full. This is not from overpulling hard on the steering wheel. Anyone here been through this or have an answer? Thought I'd check before beginning the multiple trips to the dealer and working at getting past the "there is no problem" routine.

Clutch fluid is just brake fluid and needs to be replaced every 3 years, regardless of mileage. It is very hydroscopic, and will abosrb water. Water will cause corrosion and eventually a clutch failure. What you may have is either too much water in the fluid, or an air bubble. Either of which should be solved by replacing the clutch fluid with Honda DOT 3 fluid and clutch bleeding. |
