Replying to: grannew (Jan 24, 2009 8:43 am) You're not alone. When I called for the service, they wanted to charge me for it because it was "maintenance". Honda Service Bulletin 07-024 is very clear. Normal warranty applies. Your drive train warranty should be for 5 years and 60,000 miles (mine is). They even have a defect code. But the less honest dealers try to make you believe it is regular maintenance and make you pay for it.   I'm looking for a dealer who'll treat it properly -- we have a couple of Honda dealers around here. Next step for me is to write to Honda USA.   Francis

Replying to: grannew (Jan 24, 2009 8:43 am) For a long time now car owners have faced two sets of service recommendations: the auto manufacturer's and the dealer's. The dealer's list is of course longer and service items are scheduled more frequently. You get to choose which one to follow. By agreeing to the dealer's service proposal and cost estimate, I'd say you've agreed to pay for the services performed.   Is what they're doing ethical? I don't think so, especially regarding the rear differential service. The dealer knows that Honda has a TSB out that authorizes payment, yet they charge you. The ought to reimburse you. I'd get a copy of the TSB. (http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SB/A07-024.PDF) Speak to the service manager. Any dealer interested in your continued business should try to accommodate you.

Replying to: cdamech (Jun 29, 2007 10:20 pm) Hey,i work in a Honda dealership as a technician and the problem isn't a mechanical problem with the rear diff.It has to do with fluid.Honda says it due to the fluid becoming contaminated with moisture which allows the clutches within the rear diff to stick together .these rear diffs are a limited slip so the clutches allow both axles to turn when they slip.if they don't,they bind.i wouldn't drive for ever like this but it dosen' t seem to cause any problems.Honda hasn't changed the fluid as we still see the symptoms in the 08 models as well.The method we use seems to work the longest,which is,to drain the fluid.refill then get the car off the ground,put it in drive .or frst gear,then ,using a rag ,slow and stop one rear wheel,hold for a minute or so,then release and switch and do the same from the other side.do this twice.shut the engine off.then drain and fill it up.this should help.

#288 of 395 2001 Honda CR-V rear Differential noise by ByeByeTitan Feb 22, 2009 (8:21 am)
When turning sharp it make the bububububub noise. I drained out 5-6 oz of diff fluid, put in motor flush, and ran the car in drive up on jack stands for 30 minutes. I stopped one rear wheel, span it backwards, went to the other side, repeat, pulled e brake- bubububub, switched through the gears (auto trans), make sure you apply the brake before switching any gears, you dont want to switch anything while the wheels are spinning. BY the time I was done all 4 wheels were spinning forward. Drain and Refilled with Honda Dual Pump II fluid, NO MORE NOISE!!! 180,000 miles, problem solved. Bad fluid, maybe deposits on the gears and clutches too. No clutch burnishing required.

Replying to: crvguy2 (Feb 20, 2009 11:45 am) Drain the rear differential, refill with Honda Dual pump fluid I or II, drive 5 miles. Drain. Re-fill. Drive. Drain, Refill. you should be done.   There is no substitute for Honda Dual pump fluid!

I am the owner of crv sport 2006 this was a 50th birthday present and i love it. i previously owned a crv and had it for four years. I also had this rubbing noise on both my cars, the first car i had checked out a few times everyone assured me it was all ok. Mycurrent car started making the car a lot sooner (it is a low mileage car) my son reminded me the warranty expires on 16th March this year so decided to go back to Honda to check it out. They suggested a diff flush (also saying this was not a common fault) it was carried out on 11th Feb and on driving it home the noise was worse. I phoned them and they said I had to give it a couple of weeks to settle down. A month later i still had the noise and was driving down A20 when a passing motorcylist was pointing to my back wheel, smoke was pouring out and once i pulled over to the side of the road a burning smell just filled the car. Breakdown suggested brake callipers. Any way I booked it back into Honda yesterday 12th March, another diff flush only to be told I needed a new differential. Luckily they are doing this under warranty as part alone is £1500. Again i am told this is most unusal. WHO ARE THEY TRYING TO KID!!!!!! What i need to know now is where do i go from here as my warranty expires this weekend.

Replying to: joycee333 (Mar 12, 2009 11:24 pm) It is not calipers!   If the UK CR-V any similar to the US ones, brake calipers need to be taken off and the sliding pins lubricated with Molykote-77. If you live in a snow area, this service needs to beperformed after the wintry season.   It takes me about an hour to do all 4. I clean the stainless steel springs that hold the brake pads and lubricate them as well, as the edges of the brake backing.   I am surprized the dealer did not catch this. The tell tale sign of rear caliper binding is the hoise going away after you apply brakes.   It is just part of the preventative maintenance for the rear disk brakes.   Good luck.

#292 of 395 Re: 2006 CRV AWD LX Rear Differential Problem [mnf] by 312capri Mar 13, 2009 (3:01 pm)
Replying to: mnf (Aug 18, 2007 8:08 pm) I still own a 1998 Toyota Sienna, the one with the "sludge" issues. I've changed the engine oil every 3,000 to 4,000 miles and so far it's been okay --- we only use the van for road trips and it therefore has only 42,000 miles. Also the body integrity leaves a lot to be desired. Just as reported in Consumer Reports. There are lots of rattles and other body groans and noises. It's the XL model with leather and all the bells and whistles and while I am disappointed it runs and rides well.
