#6098 of 6432 Crank Pulley by Salsaboy Jan 29, 2009 (7:31 am)
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 Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Feb 05, 2009 10:11 am) dagwood2 (Feb 16, 2009 12:11 pm)
#6099 of 6432 Transmission Fluid service - 3 successive fluid exchanges needed? by srizvi1 Jan 29, 2009 (10:31 am)
Replying to: blueiedgod (Jun 11, 2008 8:42 am) 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) Replies to this message: bigdadi118 (Jan 29, 2009 11:07 am)

Replying to: srizvi1 (Jan 29, 2009 10:31 am) 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.

Replying to: bigdadi118 (Jan 29, 2009 3:10 am) "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.

#6104 of 6432 Is there more than 1 Cabin Air Filter by dmathew347 Jan 30, 2009 (1:53 pm)
I have a 2007 CRV. The shop guy says i have to replace both (cabin air + pollen) that are situated side by side. But when i popped open the glove box, there is only one filter behind it. Is it sufficient to just replace that or is there another cabin filter hiding somewhere that i should know about?   Also, what's a good online site to get cabin filter from?   Thanks Replies to this message: yankeefan2 (Jan 30, 2009 4:57 pm)
#6105 of 6432 windshield fluid by illcar Jan 30, 2009 (2:46 pm)
Hi,   I usually use orange colored windshield fluid that is supposed to not freeze till -40F or something. But last week when the windchill was about -10F, my windshield fluid froze. It's 2008 CR-V. Anyone with same experience? Replies to this message: tidester (Jan 30, 2009 9:35 pm)

Replying to: dmathew347 (Jan 30, 2009 1:53 pm) There is only one filter. You might have to question the honesty of your shop guy,   I use three places   Bernard Parts, Handa Accessories & Honda Auto Parts, Use the one with the Cheepest Price

Replying to: illcar (Jan 30, 2009 2:46 pm) But last week when the windchill was about -10F, my windshield fluid froze.   I assume you meant that it froze after spraying it onto your windshield. Typically, the "washer fluid" is a mixture of water and some form of alcohol which tends to lower the freezing point. It will remain liquid for temperatures well below the freezing point of water - as long as it's in a closed container.   Wind will cause the very thin layer of the fluid on your windshield to evaporate quite quickly, particularly the alcohol component. This causes the remaining fluid, now mostly water, to get much colder. Unless your windshield has been warmed up (from the inside), you're left with supercooled water and it instantly leaves a thin film of ice on your windshield.   "Preheating" your windshield may help.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
