The easiest way to check of previous recalls and to be notified of new recalls is to register you vehicle at American Honda Owner's Link. You can find the link by going to Honda.com. Also, the valves need to be adjusted, on the loose side of the spec, every 30,000 miles. |

Replying to: nolaj (Jan 26, 2009 12:20 pm) If the timing belt has never been changed, then it is very possible that it broke. The 2000 model had 7 year, 100,000 mile timing belts, I believe. Timing belts are maintenance items and need to be replaced on regular basis based on the mileage or time. Good luck.

Hello: Recently I replaced the batteries in two remote-key fobs for my 2005 Honda CR-V. Perhaps these screws were installed using "Lock-Tite" or another type of adhesive, but they proved very difficult to remove. Eventually resorting to classic "strong arm" methods, I nearly stripped the heads of both screws. I've searched for replacement screws locally to no avail. These screws are so tiny I cannot even determine their specificiations. I do not really want to spring for new key fobs, but would like to find a source for the replacement screws. Any help out there? Your time and consideration are appreciated. Regards, Jack N4YIC  comcast.net

Replying to: mcdermott (Jan 28, 2009 7:19 pm) made by Super Glue If the screw head has problem put a tiny drop of superglue to connect the screw driver then snap it off after screwed in. As for the new replacement screw, may be lucky to get from those locksmiths that makes car keys.

I have a '96 CRV ( import) auto and i let it freeze up now the water flows out as quickly as i can put it in from the region of the bottom pulley but i can't exactly determine where. So how can i get the pulley nut undone to check the damage? The engine rotates anti clockwise and i have tried to pull the nut off clockwise but i need to jam the crank so that i can get some leverage on it. I do not have any specialist tools so do i need to go to a garage. Any tips or advice most welcome Regards, Salsaboy

Replying to: srizvi1 (Jan 29, 2009 10:31 am) Remember to use ONLY Honda brand tranny fluid. Remove bolt and about 3 quarts of transmission fluid will be drained. The drain bolt is magnetic and will have to be cleaned of metal particles when removed. After fully drained, replace plug, and add 2.7 quarts of Honda transmission fluid. Honda claims you must use Honda fluid in order to prevent damage, and for transmission to shift properly. Just a side note: This change only replaces about half the fluid. --Yes, from what i am told you do a flush type fill ....that is to say that after draining and refilling you run the vehicle and then repeat: drain and refill. You do this two to four times depending on the need and filth of the fluid. |
