More Honda CR-V footage! An introduction to MY NEW CR-V!! : czcams.com/video/DUuuZNw8fK0/video.html
406000km on mine now, not been trouble free but, the things I have replaced are wearing items, startor, alternator, suspension struts, drag links, engine mounts etc. Great car, very underrated.
I have about 250,000mi on mine - roughly the same. I've done PCV Valve, VVT Solenoid, struts, sway bar links, and valve cover gaskets. Thing burns oil like crazy, but I love it. I take it up rocky, muddy mountain roads in Montana and it handles it like a champ.
Woooow, hey is that UK assembled crv or USA crv🤔. I saw a few vids on USA assembled crv's that have more little electrical issues🤔
My CRV has been in my family for 15 years, never broken down or had a major issue,now i beat the crap out of it and it gives me no complaints
Dont mean to be that guy either buts its a k20,they didnt sell the k24 variant in the uk
@@Anrirua and this definitely isn't one of them
@@hondadude1331 that may well be correct but k24s of UK provenance made their way to Ireland.
@@Anrirua k24 was never sold in the uk market,the crvs were made solely with the k20a4 in Swindon for our market
@@hondadude1331 well thats incorrect. The n22a2 diesel was also assembled in Swindon. I have one, ex Manchester.
Another two things to look out for... mine used to demolish brake pads and disks... And since a lot of people workhorse these vehicles, they tend to be neglected leading to rusty chassis and undersides...that's what eventually killed mine. They made the chassis out of tissue paper.
I'm the proud owner of a awd 5spd 1st gen 98 b20 CRV with +260k miles (+420k Km).
The 04-05 CRV(manual awd) will be my next car.
Fantastic video, I have a CRV MK2 2.2 with 210,000 miles, Faultless!
Great informative video lads, im a honda crv owner ,one other thing to watch for on the diesel is a spongy clutch pedal as the slave cylinder \master cylinder some times can fail , otherwise these cars are built prof 👍 regards Frank
Very thorough, informative and well-presented video. Thanks.
Excellent presentation! I love the 2nd gen CRV, especially mine....lol!
Thank you for the review!!
Cheers from Ayrshire , liked and subscribed
And yes the CRv (while it's not a super car , it's just a great car for everything, go holidays , go shopping , go up mountains go camping)
Great video best part is the skyline lurking in the background 😂.
I have 2 crvs a 1999 and a 2019 very useful cars from daily life driving around town right through to some green laneing and donuts on the beach
Did you try your new Honda lounge seats.?????? 👀. Honda stopped doing them after 3rd gen.
I bought an 06 with 160k miles about 2 years ago, 2k more and I’m at 200k 😁 love this little car.
06 i-ctdi 250k miles. Had it since 2017. Last seller said there was a few more years left in it. Oh yes indeed sir! 2 months after buying it, subjected it to 1ft floodwaters and it survived (I reckon I was mere cms from the breather pipe).
Little weapon of a car. I sourced 4 winter tyres /rims for it (proper offroad Dunlop Grandtrek sj6) and this little bus walked through 1ft snow during the Beast from the East. I since treated it ro BFG Urban Terrain all around. Now wish Id gone KO2.
I had toyed with an X Trail or a Rav but the Honda was the safest diesel and the 05/06 awd is very effective with the right tyres. Of course, a Pajero Junior ia the biz. Or a Jimny.. But for all round load carrying, sleeping in, snow, towing, and in fairness, sporty driving, the i-ctdi is the biz.
I've actually rented mine out as an Air BnB during the housing crisis her and its also been used for a Labour Party conference (Ireland, mind) but, in fairness, there was only 7 of them.
Welded DMF about a year ago. New clutch kit. Havemt towed much since, clutch not as nice but you get used to it. Keep those fluids changed, give it plenty of Dipetane to drink and that will do pig.
MK3 2007 CRV CDTi bit only 135000 Miles on it. Everything on this video is accurate. I had ti replace the flywheel on purchase and have to change the compressor for the AC system before this summer. I am not going through another heatwave with just the sun roof open. Apart from that, it is an incredibly reliable vehicle.
Buying one tomorrow. Thanks for the vid.
Me too! 🎉
Mine is an `04 & I love it.
My HONDA CRV 2002 is a unique piece of art....
Wow, what a useful vid. and, yes, I have subscribed. Tell me please, consumption figures for the diesel and petrol versions? I always go for diesel but with cities now banning them perhaps I should be thinking Petrol. Finally, are there good years for both engines? My used car budget could stretch to £3000 though 2.2 - 2.3 is what I am thinking. Many thanks for a most informative presentation.
I bought an '06 two months ago and the thing's a beast, I want to take good care of her. My favorite car yet. Thank you for the vidya
same love it
We’ve got one each … an ‘05 and ‘06 - both diesel.
45-50 mpg and we’ve done about 100,000 miles on each since we bought them secondhand 6 years ago.
Problems?
Camshaft spindle snapped needing a rebuild at RH Motors (brilliant Honda specialist in Birkenhead)
Rear brake callipers get sticky.
Clutch and flywheel changed in both cars.
AC has died on both too - no point / too expensive for new compressors to repair - and the weather isn’t that warm around these parts.
We’ve fitted upsized tyres on both with 235/60/16 all terrain/snow&mud treads.
Never have a problem getting stuck in the hills and forest tracks around here.
The rear cabin floor lifts out and makes a picnic table - so we carry 2 portable chairs and often pitch up somewhere in the country to enjoy a ‘mobile lunch’.
All in all - the Mk2 CRV is a brilliant vehicle and we expect to be keeping ours for a very long time.
CRV mk2 2.2 CDTi - 230,000 miles. Still going strong 💪🏽 just wear and tear. Bought it in 2008.
Ive an 02 crv roof racks tow bar 4 cylender 4 wheel drive.whats a fair price i should ask? 185,000 miles needs tires an oil change an brakes
Crv currently at the top of my list to buy soon, plenty of space for my camera gear, ULEZ complient (London), and does the picnic table come in the UK crv? That's just a great bonus😂. I usually replace my own oil changes, engine mounts, wishbone, LCA, disc and breaks ect so cans save money there. 🎉 Very informative video on a few issues but I'm sure I'm going to get that instead of a 2005 civic space ship. So in theory the higher powered type-S k24 should be an easy swap, I saw you might have to use a type-s ecu too. 😎 All the best💥💥💥
I’m very surprised rust hasn’t been mentioned, in the video or in the comments. Rust is the biggest killer, more on the mk1’s but it’s definitely a problem on the mk2 and mk3
I got a barebones 2002 base model LX during the COVID lockdowns, cause new and used car market went bonkers then.
That particular model year and trim is quite austere and pretty much half plastic, even the exterior body panels. The 2WD one is basically a crosssover sized Honda Civic, or rather one that needs to go on a diet (the body roll and added weight is pretty noticeable compared to an actual Honda Civic of course).
I had some regular used car issues, namely fuel injectors, a sensor or 2 going bad and the driver side actuator lock but every issue has been absolutely dirt cheap to remedy, average service is probably $100 USD or less, even the tires are $130 each for a sumitomo group brand tire including balance and install. I can get new third-party front and rear bumper covers for $150 USD that's how cheap parts for these things can be. These model CR-Vs can go to 250,000 miles easy, they're bonafide cockroaches (they're everywhere and seem to never die) and parts are plenty for them.
When checking this model out, check the trunk (boot) floor under the carpet. The trunk floor should be a folding plastic table and under that is a second (unused) spare tire well.
Storage is weird, the "center console" sucks, stuff slides off of it, there's not storage cubby like on most other cars as it's just a fold down plastic tray and those cup holders are worthless (I recommend one of those bigger ones that fit on to the small ones that you can find on Amazon). There is also interestingly a slide out plastic bin under the passenger seat for storage.
Like the video said if you can get a spec'd out one in a later model year they're great.
HI5, amazing video buddy:)
Liking these new intros! 😂
We're going for the oscar 😂 thanks!
I have Red 2005 CRV, so satisfying.. realible, practical n easy maintance. Problem AC compessor each 2 year😄
It’s the charm of the car! 😆 thanks for watching
Thinking about converting one of these and taking across Europe next year!
Great call. Let us know if you do I’d love to see that conversion!
I have a Astra gtc vxr if you fancy doing a video on it 🤙🏾
this is reassuring, i got this car 1 old lady driver 100k miles for almost nothing as a daily driver so i wouldn't have to maintenance my jaguar all the time
The intro, I’m dead 😂😂😂
Керемет көлік. Жарайсын бауырым!
Going to look at vtec 2005 next weekend. 12 months mot and managed to get the price down to £850 a bargain . Only 132000 miles to
Does anyone know the brand of OEM a/c compressor that was prone to failure on 2001 - late 2004 CRVs? I suspect it might have been Denso or Mitsubishi but I can't be sure. The problem was addressed late 2004 but curious if they stayed with the same supplier. I also wonder if Japan built cars used a different unit than cars built in other countries.
My '04 is two wheel drive. I just wanted a commuter car and I never had to work when it snowed. Have topped off the transmission fluid every frequent oil change and it was always clear and pink. Waiting for the drive belt to fail but the dealership only wants $285 to replace it. The failed ac was replaced completely at a dealership in '10.
Some advice please guys, I am going to view and hopefully buy a Honda Cr-v 2.2 i-CDTi Sport 5dr 2005 next week, 126k miles on the clock/full service history with only one previous owner and looks in great condition, do they usually have a lot more miles to give if maintained well? any advice on what to look out for?
i got the 2nd gen 2004 model.. what is the problem when the Drive mode signal blinks? technician says it may be the solenoid sensor but i have to open the transmission to get into it.. is it ok not to replace it since i have no issues with the engine whatsoever? thanks
I got my 08 CRV AWD 260,000 and going strong.
I think i’ll die before i get rid of it.
No more payments babyyyyy!!!!
Had a slightly newer CRV for over 2 years now and its perfect even though it is a 2WD! 1.6 diesel and gets over 50 mpg 😁
Great channel and love the intro 🤣
Which ones are 2wd or awd?
@YoungAmzn mine is a 1.6 SR. I believe all of these are 2wd. The 2.2 has the 4wd in some specs I believe.
I'm purchasing a 04 Honda CR-V, is this any good?
I love my mk2 2007 CRV K20 Executive except for when the lower control arms want to snap and pull the driveshafts out 😅
Watch this... same thing czcams.com/video/JkFHOTKCPo4/video.html
Im looking for a 2005 ictdi, 290000kms, 4900€ its a good price? Thanks!
Hi All! Looking into buying a 2006 Honda CR-V EX AWD EX 4dr SUV Automatic with 201,764 miles from a Used Card Dealership. Asking price is $6,277. What questions should I ask (other than prop shaft, fluids, etc.). And is this a fair price?
Hey im a honda fan ive always try to figure out why this particular model which carries a chassis code name RD 7 seems to be low in the back and the back wheels tend to spread outwards over a period of time?
I believe the shocks and springs just begin to get tired. The splaying of the wheels is just the natural camber that comes with being a bit lower.
This thing was perfect when I was stationed at Fort Drum
The mk2 crv in general or do you know this specific car?
I have this car, the basic S trim, with steel wheels and wish to upgrade to a set of alloys just like the ones on your car. What do I need to look out for? It's been suggested to me that the wheel stud lengths may be longer on an alloy wheel car.
Are you in Scotland John? I still have this car and if you want to swap wheels we could sort it out. Cheers
@@ScottishCarClan I am in Yorkshire, quite a distance away. The steel wheels rust and need a repaint that comes around every 4 years or so. Their seem to be a lot of the CRV wheels turning up now, I guess quite a few are getting scrapped, so I hope to pick up a local ish bargain set. I was just concerned that the studs might need changing in the hubs to accommodate alloys. Thanks for the offer though. Quite liked your Jazz videos as my wife's mk2 Punto at 20 years old is just becoming a rust casualty. Honda serviced cars get 12 months AA cover thar renews on each service. I do like reliable cars and the CRV has never let me down in 17 years of ownership.
Had my exwife's 2002 AC fail wayyy back at 52k miles. I yelled at American Honda every day until they offered me a "goodwill" warranty on the parts and I paid the labor. I think I paid around $800ish at the time. That was the last Honda I've owned since. Inexcusable to have something major fail at such low mileage when people buy them for reliability. That said, I've thought about picking one up to turbo but manuals are hard to find here.
I have a pdf shop manual

I bought an 05 CRV yesterday w/the gas enging. they claim 132k miles but the speedomoter only works sometimes. Do I need to be concerned about the timing belt- or just if it makes noise? Or any other maintenance?
The CRV has a timing chain - it's a metal chain and considered to be a lifetime part. There are cases of it going bad around 200k miles, but I wouldn't worry about it unless it is making weird noise. Just change your fluids. It probably eats oil for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
its been 16 years since my dad bought it, he still drives it now and is not going to sell it anytime soon
Has this car had an engine swap? The 2.0 is a k20. The k24 is a 2.4 and I didn't think they were available?
I'm pretty sure he's getting confused as they are K20A4
I have a 2013 the best thing I ever did was put electric power steering
So then could it work as ur first car ? Even as a teen ?
For sure! So long as the insurance isn’t too expensive.
the front disc looks about done.
I got my 06, ac does not work
Very common unfortunately 😭
What's the true MPG on these. I've heard different opinions Everything else ticks all the boxes
I averaged 26-29mpg from this
@@ScottishCarClan Thanks. I know the DTEC ( ob better mpg)!is a later model. Any good compared to 2nd Gen?
Is that the mpg on tracks and whatever in the hills or A roads etc
I avg 31mpg on a really long run 35-37 mpg if u keep to under 3000 revs
Mine is 2ltr auto. Loves petrol but a great car
MPG is pretty bad (18-21). Very difficult to access engine components. Other than that, it's a decent vehicle. Really wish the rear seats could fold flat like the 3rd gen.
Just bought a 2006 Honda CRV 2.2 sport only had it two weeks and need a replacement altinater there's only 87000 on it not impressed with it a landdrover be more reliable 😊
That's just normal wear and tear for any old car, these are more reliable than a land rover
How many miles 😂
What’s this accent like fak sake😂😂
Perfect car yes until some scumbag steals your catalytic converter and the insurance writes it off😪
that sounds annoying. Does the insurance company then give you the value of the car that you could then spend replacing it? I was expecting this to happen to my big Toyota while living in s Glasgow ghetto but they tried to steal the whole thing and then vandalised it when they failed. Had to rebuild the ignition from the bits I could find around on the road.
