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

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?

There is only one filter. You might have to question the honesty of your shop guy,

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.

2006 crv makes a thumping noise underneath on rough roads.Anyone else?? I think trans mounting
 
Crv on bad washboard makes terrible sound underneath towards back of car. Has dealership confused. I thought muffler hangers, now wondering if it is not the trans mounting rubbers wore out. New shocks have been put on.

nolaj (first gen. CRV suddenly dies) mcdermott (small screw availability) by defielding

I own 2 '99 CRVs (one with a manual tranny, one with an automatic). Both of them acted like the ignition key was suddenly turned off as I was travelling down the road.at around the same mileage (160,000 km or around 100,000Miles). Both of them had the same simple problem I was able to diagnose at the side of the road. I played with the spark plug wires and was able to get the vehicle running. By further playing with the wires as the vehicle idled, it would affect the idle speed of the engine. Replacing the spark plug wires was the fix for each vehicle. This is a very simple fix that can be done at home. If any of you are using the original spark plug wires and your vehicles are getting up to the mileages listed above, change your wires as a maintanance item before they may leave you stranded.
 
To mcdermott, You can get the tiny replacement screws for your remote car opener key fob at any eyeglass shop

Front End Shudder/Vibration by tbtbd5
Feb 03, 2009 (7:09 pm)
Reply
My 2000 CRV has a shudder / vibration that starts while driving steady at about 45 mph. If I let off the gas it stops or accelerate it stops. It only does it at around that speed. I've changed tires , both axles, ball joints, brake pads , rotors even a broken motor mount. Three ASE mechanics have looked at it and they say my front end is tight and it should NOT shudder like it does. It has done this for several years (note all the changed parts for no reason) and nothing seems to fix it.
