| 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. | |

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.

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.

| My CR-V is doing just what is describe in TSB 07-024. I called a local Honda dealer to see how much the service would cost (I don't expect any "goodwill consideration"). My vehicle is out of warranty but has only 64,000 miles on it. My owner's manual says change the diff. fluid at 60 months or 90,000 miles. I'm over the months but well short of the mileage. The price was about $85 which is not ridiculous but according to the service advisor, they just drain and refill the fluid, not all the steps to burnish the clutches as per the TSB. He also said that California dealers recommend this service at 15,000 miles and every 20,000 miles thereafter. A 75,000 mile difference between manufacturer and dealer recommendation! What is so different about California other than I pay for it a lot more often? I will check another dealer but am tempted to take it to a shop where I've had work done before; higher price but they will do all the steps. | |
