Honda CR-V RD7 (2002-2006) Questions & Answers
Verified
I had an issue with gear shifting on my Honda CRV RD7. Advised to check the solenoids Checked the solenoids with a 12 volt battery and they seem to be working ok. Fitted them back on and changed the oil filter and the oil. Did a test drive but the issue still persists. What is the problem now? Please advise

I have a Honda crv RD7. Having transmission issues. The light started blinking while on D causing the vehicle not shifting the gear and momentarily stopped. A switch the ignition off and on again to start the engine and was ok for a minute than went back to the issue again. Checked the transmission oil and there's oil in the transmission. What could be the issue please help.
Got a Honda CR-V Rd7 but currently facing problem with a bang sound hit coming from the front underneath the engine or gear box when shifting gears from Park to Reverse or Drive. Anyone please.
Honda crv rd7 automatic 4wheel having problems with changing gear, what could be wrong?
Accelerator cable is broken how to find out
My CR-V RD7 shakes badly between 20km/h - 40km/h. When I accelerate to about 80km/h, the shaking goes off. What may be the possible cause?
Broken engine mounts? If you put the car in neutral and rev the engine do you feel the shaking? If yes, engine mounts may be the likely cause. If not then it could be front drive shafts.
Fluctuating tacho needle at 3000rpm and loss of power when going up hill at only 60kmh
When buying from card yard what are the questions to ask.2000 model crv 200,00 kms.. Thankyo
Yes was me, Susan
My rd7 makes low continuous whirring noise. What could it be? Checked transmission oil and seems okay.
It could simply be a light whine from a transmission/differential bearing which is common on a lot of vehicles and never poses a potential fail.If you are concerned it would be a good idea to get it inspected by a qualified mechanic just in case it is a belt pulley bearing or something similar which are often a low cost repair. I am not sure that Product Review is the correct place to be asking for mechanical advice though :)
All power from the engine stops when I reach 80km
Then restarts again at 70km
Please help.
Sounds like something is loose or electrical... I would be taking it back to your dealership for this
Hi, my honda crv 2006 giving abnormal sound at 80km and above...i replaced tyres, bearings but sound is still there... Any ideas?
Does anybody know if you can display the value of the average fuel consumption on the dash board of a 2005 rd7 model?
Yes. I am not sure if the Japanese domestic model has it, but I know that the export version definitely had the digital indicator.
Yes it is on one of the options for the odometer screen. Just push the knob and watch the display change till you see the average fuel consumption displayed.
It doesn't display at all even after pushing the knob
It doesn't change at all
At what average speed should I drive a honda crv rd7 to minimise high fuel consumption?
60,70,80 without stopping.
On any vehicle, lowest revs, highest gear, least accelerator.
2004 model crv i have issues with key now putting in ignition. i have to wriggle it and play with steering wheel. what is problem?
That is normal for all cars especially if you parked in an angle or hill slope.
I have a 2002 model CRV. In the last year, it has started to blow a puff of blue smoke after its idled for a few seconds. It doesn't always do it, it's very intermittent. Checked the pcv valve and it's ok. Cannot find the egr valve but when l do, it will be checked. Has anyone else had this issue and how was it fixed? Thanks team.
sounds like valve stem seals...it will keep doing it till they are replaced
Thanks. l think you are right. just seemed a bit odd it doesn't do it from cold start. only after idle. Time to Upgrade!
Agree with Gruffo. Mine blows smoke and smells bad slowing down from high speed or coming down a hill so yeah, valve stem seals.
i have a 2004 Honda CRV, had it since NEW. For the most part I love my car. I have a question for you. When I am driving, suddenly the Drive light on the dash board starts to flash. It does not ever stop whilst I am driving. Can you please tell me why it is doing this? This has been going on now for the past year. There is also another problem, about 6 times this has happened over the last year as well....
It has just stopped on me twice, and 4 times it has only just started, weakly, like it is not functioning on all cylinders. A friend suggested to have someone look at the fuel injector. i have always had it serviced regularly, and mechanics have not found the problem.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

does anybody answer these questions in a professional capacity?
Of course mechanical repairs and servicing workshop can't find the problem as it seems like an electrics fault possibly in the onboard computer - I'd recommend you take the vehicle to a Honda Australia workshop or perhaps a auto electrician shop such as ultratune or kmart tyres and auto might be able to help
Shops like ultratune are experts at diagnosis and repairs of faults and are cheaper than the original manufacturers workshops and if the vehicle isn't under warranty then that's great though if it's still under warranty the car dealers workshop is supposed to fix the problem under warranty
Thanks for your answer. My mechanics have found that it is showing a fault in the automatic transmission, it may just be a fault with the light coming on as there is no problem detected with the gear transitions that I can feel. As for the other problem of it stopping whilst I'm driving.... That is still under investigation!
You have probably solved your starting problem but for anyone else that has this problem, it's the fuel pump. It's about a $400 job for a mechanic supply and replace.
How many km's would a 2002 cr-V Honda get from a full tank?
About 150 km i rekon!
Depends on the size of the tank = I don't know how many litres the 2002 model holds. However on my 2013 CRV-4WD auto I get about 560km before the 'range' indicator says 0kms - at which point there is about 8-10litres left in the tank. Extrapolating from that I'd expect 650-700 before it would run bone dry.
Hi, in my crv from last two days I find out 'D' sign start flicking after driving couple of min. If u change it to 'N' or 'R' it stil flickers. But if u stop the engine and start again it back to normal. Can anyone help me in this issue?? Thanks
i am guessing that its just a problem with the display on your dash , take it to an auto electrician if youre worried , but i doubt its a real problem
Go to an auto electrician. It's probably just wire connected in your dash.
Hi, Flashing D is an error code from the transmission, if it is still changing and working OK it is probably not major. Could be an intermittent connection from one of the sensors on the transmission. These auto's are like a manual transmission but with clutches changing the gears, not planetary gears like a conventional auto trans. Sensors measure all sorts of things, gear change, oil pressure, temp etc. Honda or a good transmission tech can read the codes. My issue was an intermittent connection on the 3rd gear sensor, was still changing perfectly.
Anyone know what the estimated life of a CRV would be, i.e. how many klms before running into engine issues. Looking at getting a 2002 CRV sports model with 221,000 klms from a second hand dealer with 12 months warranty for around $8000.00. Should I pay and extra $1000.00 to get an extra 3 years warranty. Car looks in great shape for its age and mileage but I am not a mechanic so will ask a mechanic to do an inspection before purchase if I go this way. Any thoughts? Thanks.
If its an Auto, I would say forget it. There are too many issues with transmission problems after as little of 80,000km
What is the fuel tank capacity of honda crv 2006?
60L
mine wont let me put ion more than 40 litres
the fuel light comes on way too early when there's still 15L left in the tank thats why
Hi are the Honda crvs any good of road along the beach? Thanks
Yes they are good both off road and on the beach as the 4wd is auto. However the profile is not high without a lift kit so i would advise keeping this in consideration and stick to well used tracks. Recently i went on a trip through national forest and encountered various surfaces and the Honda coped well. I would not take on sand dunes though. Hope this helps.
