Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 10, 2008 7:27 am) Rear differential in the CR-V is where the AWD unit is located. There is no center differential in the CR-V. The transmission have a take off shaft that powers the drive shaft (propeller shaft). Once there is a pressure differential between the propeller shaft powered pump and rear wheels powered pump AWD is activated. It is a very simple design.

Does anyone have knowledge of a great place to purchase new floor mat sets for the 2007 CRV . The original front drivers side mat has completely worn through.. I want to replace with better quality, less expensively than the dealer wants for the same cheap mats and something which will last more than 8 months.

It looks like I need to replace these awful tires (I replaced one of the 4 after just five months of ownership). Any recommendations for someone who wants great traction and durability? I live in the Chicago area and drive a great distance to and from work on bumpy, pot holed roads.

Replying to: crv2007burned (Jul 29, 2008 3:30 am)  I conclude, in my less than expert opinion that this is where auto makers are skimping and putting donut like quality on models right off the assembly line. DH finally got new tires on my CRV when I ran over yet another tire in my stupid subdivision that is still under construction. He went to Firestone, spent a fortune on them but got a 3 year warranty I believe and they repair them for free or give you a new one while under warranty. That piece of mind is worth the extra cost. Of course watch now I'll never run over anything til after the warranty

I finally got the car in to do the rear differential fluid and have them run a fluid check. All is well, no more barge-like sounds coming from the rear. The Honda guys were so cool. They didn't charge me this time around. I know next time I will but it'll be more in line with standard maintenance rather than on the early side. New tires still going strong! No nails in em, of course Don't you love warranties!

Replying to: marig0107 (Jan 01, 2009 7:53 am) It's actually slightly easier than an oil change because there's no filter to deal with. You may need an oil pump to get the oil to flow *up* into the diff, but that's about the only challenge. Here is a step-by-step pictorial for the job on a Miata. Diffs are fairly similar so I bet it's pretty much the same: http://www.miata.net/garage/trans/13.htm
