the mechanic told me it was the timing belt... then someone told me that i have an interference engine and that it probably messed up my engine... any thoughts?
 
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.

Remote Key Fob Screws by mcdermott
Jan 28, 2009 (7:19 pm)

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

Home Depot sells "Nut & Bolt Locker" cost is about a few bucks which prevent threaded screws from loosening
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.

Crank Pulley by Salsaboy

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

Transmission Fluid service - 3 successive fluid exchanges needed? by srizvi1

I'm at over 120k on my 2004 Honda Accord EX-L w/ Navi (Auto, Sedan, 4-cyclinder) and wanted to fix the error I made by having my Transmission service done at 90k at Firestone. However, the Honda dealers I'm calling are just saying they do a simple drain and fill. A few dealers have said they do the 3 successive fluid exchanges but that I probably don't need it in my car.
 
Any thoughts?
 
(I know this is off topic here in the CR-V forum, but this is where I first heard about it)

Honda advises not to do tranny flush. Only drain n fill is recommended. Of course 3 is better than one. I will take the 3 one.
 
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.

"If the screw head has problem put a tiny drop of superglue to connect the screw driver then snap it off after screwed in."
 
Now that's a great tip. I bet I could send that in to one of the woodworking magazines and score some swag.
