Considering buying a new 2010 CR-V but so far what I read on the net is about reviews or comments for the features. What I want to know is the comments about the mechanics of them. Is there any mechanical / electrical weaknesses or things I should be wary of if I buy one... ie: timing belt or...

Well, i finally did it. The civic will be gone as of this time tomorrow. I sold it on Ebay for my reserve price of $5495. 52k miles, 5spd, A/C, service manual, owners manuals and all paperwork. A fun lil car that never let me down in the 8 years ive owned it. Hopefully the new owner will appreciate...

As the regulars here know, I have got a kick out of working on my 1991 Civic over the years. But (1) it has rust around the gills and I want to look sportier (I surrender to vanity); (2) I think for the next several years I will always fear that it has a major engine breakdown yada and I will...

I am new to your site, but does anyone know how to reset a unknown radio code? I bought the car used and it is from a mid-west state (I am in Washington state) anyhow, wife left an inside light on and ran the battery down. I have no idea what the radio code was (no info. in the car) and short of...

Vehicle 2000 Accord 4dr. V6 Automatic 81,000 miles, bought new. New Tires and alignment just done. However, the car's rear wheels do not track the front wheels; slightly offset to the right looking at the car from the rear. Slight oversteer in a curve to the right. Tire shop says the axle offset is...

I recently had an animal run into my car and it destroyed my bumper. I took my ride to the Honda dealer for repair and my insurance is Geico. I made sure that I requested an original OEM bumper. I was able to get an OEM on my windshield that cracked for no reason, so I want to make sure that the...

Problem just started this winter. On cold mornings it won't start, won't click even. All accessories work fine. If I play with the clutch pedal, shake the shifter, eventually it starts normally so the battery and solenoid must be fine. It's a 5 speed, so I am working on the assumption that it has...

It's time for some new shoes for my '03 Accord V-6. I know people on this usenet group are not all that fond of the OEM Michellin Energy MVX4 91V tires, but I have been happy with them. Good snow and wet pavement performance, quiet and good mileage. That's good enough for me. I buy my tires at...

2004 Accord 2 door EX-L. Is it normal that I hear some heavy electric sparking from some relay under the dashboard when I turn the ignition key slower than normal? I took it to the dealership today and they told me (without hearing, just based on description) that that is normal and all hondas...

I just bought some Bosch Platinum plugs for my CR-V (2003) at a good price. ($13.58 CD for 4) I know the manual recommends NGK. Is it okay to put the Bosch Platinum, or will I be disappointed? Also, when should plugs be changed? (I have 48,000 KMs on it.) Thank you, Nino

I would like to get a decent ball joint lifter tool for under $30. Tegger's site http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/disconnect.html describes several. I am aiming for the second category. Here are two in that...

Hello! I recently bought a Honda Civic Hybrid 2005 and its User Manual says that "Gasoline Grade should be 86 or higher", which means any grade above 86 which could be "Regular 87", or "Mid-Grade 89" or even "Premium 93" can be used, as I understand. If I use "93 Grade Gasoline", will it do any...

Last week, my 1997 Accord started running very hot. After just a few minutes, the temperature gage fluctuates wildly between about half-way and the red zone. It will usually stay in one place for a minute or two, and then settle on a different setting. Is this a known problem? Does anyone have...

I will be hoping to buy perhaps sometime next year. Currently leaning towards the Rav 4. Which is better, the Rav 4 or Honda's CR-V ? Consumer Reports rates the CR-V better, but the Rav 4 is actually better, according to Consumer Reports. That's because CR highly recommends the CR-V even though...

How does one remove the alternator? Any helpful information would be great. The red idot light just started to show it's ugly head. --- Thanks

I drove 6 different Accord EX sedans (4cyl, cloth) and they all had the same crappy reception of local FM stations. I had rented a Nissan recently...no problems. It almost seems like the station isn't quite locked on the frequency. I've seen this with the CR-V EX's...maybe it's low-quality...

A dead '95 Civic battery gave unusual results. Jumpering the battery allowed it to idle the engine, but the moment I attempted to move it forward or in reverse, the engine would stop. Its as though the battery was too weak to muster enough energy to propel the car, but it could idle the car. Does...

I've got a 2004 Accord EX and I've been very happy with it except for several "rattles" inside my cabin. Currently, the central console rattles, the cover on the visor mirror rattles when the visor is down, and the front passenger door has something going on as well. It's a real symphony...

Hey, all. Just want to get some input on what sort of deal this is. I'm looking at a '99 Integra GS coupe, 59K miles - leather, spoiler, new tires, AT, interior perfect and exterior fine except for a tiny ding and a few scratches on rear bumper. All service records since 4500 miles and no major...

I've replaced both the alternator and battery on my car but for some reason when it runs i can see my headlights pulsing to a dim. It happened in stop and go traffic one night where it just killed all the electric in my car. I know it has something to do with the accident i had recently but...
