Hello, our Honda CR-V Executive has now slowly come into the years. First registration 2013, 160,000 km. Maintenances: Regular oil change and slings renewed. Repairs: 140.00 Clamping rollers of the air conditioning and gear flushing due to jerking at about 70 km/h. With the car we are very satisfied but before the next TÜV there are probably some repairs. The spring at the front right is broken and the dust protection caps of the shock absorbers have dissolved. The brake pads at the front have to be renewed. Original springs are not available at Hoda. I have therefore ordered springs from a spare parts dealer. Complete spring legs are not on offer there. With Honda we are almost priceless. With the car however, we are very satisfied. However, he should soon give way to an electric car. Is there similar experience and possibly repair tips? Rene

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?

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.

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.

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

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…?
