Replying to: illcar (Jan 30, 2009 2:46 pm) 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 |

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. |

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

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.

I have a 2004 CR-V with 45,000 miles. Six months ago I was told I needed to replace the serpentine belt. I did. Now during inspection I'm told I need to replace drive belt. Is that different than serpentine belt? Does it sound reasonable to need to change drive belt after 45,000 miles?

Replying to: mimdap (Feb 04, 2009 1:42 am) If it is the same shop that replaced it last time, RUN FROM THEM LIKE THEY WERE ON FIRE. They are scam artists. Either they did not replace it last time you paid them to do that, or they just lieing about the belt now. Search youtube for hidden videos at Firestone shops, where they don't even touch the parts you pay them to replace. |

Hi I have a beautiful 1999 Honda CRV. I have had no issues but two. My clock no longer works and my automatic door locks don't work on my key fob. Now the weird thing is it is just when its warm. Freezing cold, middle of winter, no problems, I can lock and unlock using the remote. Today however weather is in the mid 60's and nada, nothing... Is this an issue with the fuse or am I going to have to take it to my repair person! Thanks a bunch
