codes" for your check engine light. They'll do it for free and print out a few things that affect the particular code. If you're handy with tools or know someone who is, you can save yourself a bundle. They did this for my 98 Mustang and it was an O2 sensor, saved me about $300 from going to the dealer.
You've got a dozen different mechanics who've had the opportunity to actually see, touch, and listen to the vehicle, yet they can't figure it out. I'm thinking that a bunch of car enthusiasts (not mechanics) with only a text description aren't going to do a whole lot better.
We can list common issues we've read about in the past (has anyone checked the valve spacing?), but nothing can replace hands-on experience with the vehicle.
Thank you.
Breakdown recovery tried for 2 hours to get it started, confirmed plug sparking ok but no fuel/gas getting to engine. Also confirmed no power getting to the petrol pump. Problem seemed to be electrical but not sure of cause. Car taken on low-loader back to honda dealer who is unable to discover source of problem.
Since 561594 crv's have been recalled on june 14 2006, would have thought honda would be well aware of how to resolve problem.
Since this can lead to a serious accident if the ignition fails on an automatic when driving on a motorway and the risk of being hit from behind all honda dealers should be taking action to eliminate this defect(latent) to avoid honda being sued due to prior knowledge of the fault.
When they're folded away, there's no problem in getting them to stay in place next to the roof.
Would it help to tighten - or loosen - something the visors? Is there some other way to make the visors stay put to block the glare without blocking the view?
Thanks very much,

Just curious to find out how you made out at the dealer regarding your bothersome "Tailgate" light problem. Mine also has gotten so bad that it remains on most of the time so I plan on bringing it in for repair this Tuesday.
Thanx

Also, does anyone recommend a good cleaner for this leather seating? I noticed a blue-ish band going across the bottom of the driver's seatback and thought this might have been a transfer from my pants or perhaps a belt. I've tried all the safe stuff and I'm to the point where I want to take cleanser, acetone, "Goo Gone" or "Goof Off" to the leather but fear the damage. Any suggestions?

I guess your OWNER's MANUAL did not say anything about taking care of the seats. Strangly enough, my manual does say how to clean the leather seats and protect the dashbaord, and I don't even have leather seats. They must have given you the EX manual. Oh, wait, all the manuals for CR-V are the same.
Sarcasm aside, Honda makes and sells Vinyl and leather protectant. I use that on the dashboard and other plastics. It has very low gloss finish and makes the car look like the day it came home from the dealership. I use Armor All cleaner wipes to clean the surfaces before applying the Honda protectant.

In the event it is the radiator, has anyone changed it out in that gen. of the CRV? I'm wondering how difficult of a job it is.

Just out of curiosity, what brand of Anti-freeze have you been using?
Radiator replacement is fairly straightforward on Hondas. Remove the upper brace and the hoses. The radiator just sits there in the rubber bushings. OEM rad from the dealer should be under $200. Or you can get knock offs as long as they are significantly cheaper.

Shop around. I have had front windshiled replaced for less than $250. Rear glass should be even cheaper.
Only Honda's brand, bought it at the dealer. Thx for the link for radiator replacement.
Are you sure??? I've personally seen it in there.
...and the dealership didn't have any ready answers.
Find a different dealer. It's basic.
In essance my dealership told me that my compressor internally disintagrated.

I replaced my tires which were terribly cupped but the problem remains with the new tires.
Anyone ever have this problem? What was the solution?
Thanks
The cap came in a few days ago, so I replaced it, wiped everything down real good, and topped off the resevoir, the radiator was still full up to the top.
But I still smell anti-freeze and there a few small blue splashes around the cap. I let it idle in my driveway for half an hour last night but couldn't see any leak and the smell is quite noticeable.
Thoughts?
There's a whole 'nother thread on A/C Compressor issues. Hopefully , it'll save you some money by reading.
