  • CR-V3 – DPF light burns, still possible to trigger regeneration?

    Hello, in spite of the problem often discussed here I still have some questions. I have driven a lot of short distance lately and have interrupted 2x a regeneration. Shortly afterwards the DPF lamp came (permeable) and since then the suit has considerably decreased. But this is not a real emergency run, because I had already experienced such a thing before. With enough start-up it runs on the straight still 130km/h, only on climbs it slows down. I have tried several times on longer motorway rides (30 – 60km) to burn out, unfortunately in vain. I yesterday dropped a can of Liqui Moly DPF additional and filled it up. I have the opinion since then it runs a tick better, but lamp still burns. Oh yes, an oil thinning does not yet take place or has not yet found place. My questions are: Can I trigger the regeneration again by long rides? If yes, is it better to give “spule” and generate heat or rather to roll there constantly with 90km/h? Or is it better to let the car stand completely?

  • But not so hard – a funny story

    During the test drive before the purchase of a new CRV, my wife and I found only one negative feature: bad suspension. After a few considerations we decided to do so and for about a week now we have this car. Well all in order to: bad suspension. But all this was only valid until yesterday when I checked the tyre pressure. I lowered the tyre pressure from 3.5 to 2.1 for all tyres. Yes, the dealer seems not to have done this during the delivery. And look, suddenly a completely new driving feeling. The suspension is suddenly as it should be. It is also much softer than it was on the test drive with the test car, in which the dealer also does not seem to have controlled the tyre pressure. Now we suddenly came to a completely new improved vehicle without extra charge after a week. Therefore my tip to everyone: Controls the tyre pressure also on a test drive To my excuse, I have to say that I really assumed that car dealers have checked both their test cars as well as to be delivered new cars.

  • Confirmation radio remote control central locking

    Hello guys, I have the new CR-V since mid-May and am very satisfied with it so far. Of course there is always something you want differently, in my case I think it’s a pity that the operation of the radio remote control for locking the vehicle is only confirmed visually with the turn signals. So you always have to stop at the vehicle and make sure that the radio signal has been detected, because the LED in the original key is so small that you can hardly recognize it in sunlight. However, since I used to get used to locking the vehicle quai “walking away” it would be nice if, in addition to the flash signal, the horn or another acoustic signal sounded briefly for confirmation. There should be something like this as a module for retrofitting, but I have unfortunately always found only complete central locking sets so far, which I do not want to replace completely.

  • Switching from Omega to CR-V

    Hello forum community, ride since 1997 Omega. The first Omega B was burdened with many problems. The current Facelift, Omega B AT 100kW with full equipment is so reliable, but it is time to look for a successor. I looked at the CRV and my first impression was very positive. The possibilities to adjust the trunk are well solved in my opinion. I read through extensively in the CRV Forum and experienced a lot. The problems described there are annoying, but not so serious to exclude the CRV from my purchase considerations. My questions would be: Has anyone already made the change of the Omega ==> CRV and how is the satisfaction? Who is about 195cm tall and how is the seat position for the size? to me the seat a little bit short. thigh cover? I have to buy the petroler EXE with AT before me in the fall, which is fully sufficient for my purposes I thank you now for answers. Greetings Rosch

  • Experiences FR-V?

    Hello, even if there is a separate subforum – there doesn’t seem to be many FR-V owners… On the street you can see one from time to time, but here in the forum there is only one thread (and it doesn’t deal with the FR-V directly). I’m just in front of the decision Mazda 5 or Honda FR-V and I’m looking for all the information about it. Therefore my questions to you: Are there FR-V owners here? Are you just so satisfied that you don’t register? Or what are your experiences with the car…?

  • C-RV roof railing for bicycle carriers

    Servus, so I’m one of those guys who absolutely want an SUV. Originally it was supposed to be a Tiguan, but because of the immense waiting times I gave up this project and actually finished with the topic SUV. Since my girlfriend drives an Astra Twin Top and I had to pick her up the last time at her dealer, who also sells Honda, I saw the C-RV for the first time. I have seen him drive around more often, but not more closely (you know: because of the Tiguan). On the farm I saw dark blue C-RV with darkened disks, 18-inch (?) rims etc. and he really hit me off. I found the super. However, for a closer look I did not have time (girlfriend has misled). Since I don’t manage to look at the dealer’s site this week, I would be grateful if I could ask you a question. Maybe someone can help me. I have so far for the transport of my bike, which is attached to the Dachreko.

  • Tea lights at CR-V EZ 07 as passing beam….normal?:-)

    Hello, I’m new here, a woman but not blond and can actually change light bulbs without the help of the ADAC :-)))) But I have with my new CR-V, which is less than 6 months old is a GREAT problem…. When I drive in the dark, I have the feeling that I have tea lights in the headlights, which illuminate the way more badly than right. The car was from Wednesday to today in the workshop and when I just wanted to go away briefly, I could not see anything again, so the coming car drivers had to take my main light, which strangely goes. When I took over the car, everything was ok, except the fact that twice in a row one and the same lamp (H1)kaputt went out. This one was changed to me, whereby the workshop has installed a overvoltage protection the second time. Today they gave me the car with the statement again, one didn’t know where the problem would lie and it would be all ok according to measurements. But even if I am a woman, for stupid I can sell myself: Has got the opinion of tomorrow, maybe of me!!!

  • I’ve lost the anticipation of my CRV!

    In January I got rid of my CRV 2.2 diesel, Exe (almost full equipment, bright leather, DVD-Navi …), which I ordered in October. Before I did of course a test drive (not in my equipment variant) and was pleasantly surprised. I drove AUDI for 17 years (already the 6th new car – A80, A4, TT … – always with upscale equipment and good motorization) and was always very satisfied. Now I wanted a SUV and ended up with Honda for various reasons. But above all because of the high customer satisfaction, the good technology, the excellent diesel engine and because the CRV just looks awesome. For some time I read this forum here and from post I lose the pleasure of my new car. If I catch everything together, the CRV is a garbage car with lots of faults, defects and dissatisfied buyers? Is that just my “I have not been able to say anything more about my car look.

  • My new addition

    The jump of Audi A4, on Honda CR-V, was for me at first a risk and initially connected with some sleepless nights and a little skepticism. However, I did not regret the decision until now. That the petrol engine would build up a little bit more fuel than the diesel was clear to me. Have now finally, a few days ago my CR-V EXE, beige leather, gasoline car. with Navi package and several other extras in Sparkle Grey Pearl received. I really am very satisfied with everything up to now. Top equipment and workmanship. I am fully satisfied with my vehicle selection. Of the somewhat vulnerable plastic covering, (especially B-sail, entry rails and loading edge) as it is often presented by many, is in the bright design no objection on my part. Dark rubber tracks of the shoes, at door entry and in the passenger room, are still very easy to wipe away with a damp cloth. Overall, the beige plastic with a super moist cloth is easy to clean. Also, the Navi, the audio system and the free-to-be working properly up to 50, however, still has no problem with the audio equipment.
