1997 - 2001 Honda CR-V Cabin Air Filter Replacement | RD1 RD2 DIY

Single handedly golding down the RD1 crv community on youtube ❤

[@vincentcardenas776]

After doing an oil change, front brakes and replacing the factory stereo on my 2000 crv, I'm finding out just how inconvenient it is to work on these cars. I do appreciate how well they are put together. I have found your videos to be a valuable resource. Thank you.

[@hondaresource]

Glad to help

[@lewisberry8657]

Keep these videos coming. Please don't stop, were still out here for the RD1 crv.

Even three years later you are helping people out, thank you so much this helped for a 2001 Honda CR-V when I just couldn't find how to get to the cabin filter! Knew it needed to be replaced because dust blows out the vents haha. At first I didn't think it had one until I looked it up and found this video : ))

[@hondaresource]

Glad I could help

[@nicholasleach8770]

I legitimately can't put into words how less equipped I would be to maintain and improve my 2001 CRV without this channel. Thank you good sir.

[@hondaresource]

Happy to help

[@JohnDoe-yt9kw]

Thanks, 3 years later & your video got me through this, now my fan is blowing like a champ!

[@hondaresource]

Good deal

[@reidnewton3956]

Thanks for this video, it was super helpful. No idea if our '98 has ever had its filter changed until today, it even had a feather in it. Will be making this a yearly habit now...

[@hondaresource]

It's amazing how many people don't know about cabin filters

[@empowermentwithdea]

Hey there! Purely by accident I stumbled upon your video as I was looking for guidance to replace my air hose...I am embarrassed to admit, I had no idea about a "cabin filter", and after watching in horror and wonderment at your replacement, haha!-I immediately went back to the parts store and bought this filter. Holy Zoinks Batman!! It was completely black in color and not a partical of air could of ever gotten through there in years. I thought perhaps a tree had lived and died inside the compartment-where's the mice??? Uncool on my part to be so ignorant, I now feel and breathe better within my Lil Greenie. I am a proud owner of a first Gen 2001 Honda CRV, and want to applaud the ease of understanding with your video. Thank you

[@NVanHiker]

I love my '98 CRV, but when I see videos of easy and tool-less cabin filter replacement on later model CRV's, my loyalty is tested.

[@yerrrrletstalkaboutit24]

You’re the bomb! Thank you for this! CRV GANG ! 💯 I need so much help with mine. 97’ Honda CRV because I think my mechanic is taking my parts smh. Being a girl with this kind of ride SUCKS if you don’t know what the heck you need, but your videos are very educational ! So thank you. Any links to the following would be so appreciated- 1- L/R directional signal doesn’t return to neutral after I make a turn. 2- mechanic said “someone took my red horns.” BS! He took them, but the wire that was connected to the horn that is still there is out - how do I restore original horn until I can upgrade to another set of red horns? 3- Driver side window is stuck - I need a track something so the window can go up and down? Is there a DIY video for that? 4- Am I supposed to cut the cords from the car and connect it to a harness then connect the wires to the radio to the other part of the harness and then connect them together. How do I connect the wires to a harness to connect to a radio if Each radio has a different harness and doesn’t match the harness that is already on the wires of the CRV? Thank you so much in advance 🙌🏼

[@juiceybananas5489]

Your videos have really helped me out with my 98 and 2000 crv projects here in Iowa. You got it made down south with no rusty under body's on your cars. I finally broke down and bought an induction heat tool for those nasty stuck nuts and bolts and it works as good as Mapp gas.

[@hondaresource]

That's awesome. I've never used one of those but the videos I've seen make them look super useful!

[@AgentOrange96]

I like how the air box is clearly designed for easy serviceability, but then they placed it such that you have to take the structure of the dash apart to even get to it. When I'd done this a few years ago, I wrapped the frame in duct tape to account for the disintegrated foam. Though I think hobby foam or proper weather stripping would be a better option.

[@valgabo4154]

A great video helps a lot. What i did is put the bolts by hand tight only where i can just remove them by hand when it is time to change it again.

[@elisaprice9809]

Thank you so much! We bought a 98 MT CRV for our youngest son and I've been cleaning it and doing maintenance on it for the last few months. I had picked up a cabin air filter for it but couldn't find where it went, not realizing it was so much more involved than my 07 Odyssey!

[@mrsseasea]

My daughter has a 1998 cv r and blows air just not out the vents. I hope this will fix it! Love your videos.

[@lp115]

Thank you! Really Helpful video, changed my cabin air filter today. only took about an hour. Much appreciated!

[@hondaresource]

I just swapped the one in my personal crv yesterday, it was pretty filthy

[@crazysavvyloverlee]

Just got it opened up! Thanks for your help!

[@danwhittington557]

Thanks. Helped a bunch. My filter was just as dirty, it had been 20 years.

[@hondaresource]

Nice, I'm glad you were able to get it swapped out

[@williamputnam6058]

Thanks for the information on that filter change. Now I know how to.

[@hondaresource]

Glad to help

[@jetd6764]

Since I removed the Glovebox compartment already, I should change the filter here as well. Thanks. for the video. I removed the box because my 1999 Crv kept stalling in the street. It was scary. It stopped in the middle of the street without any warning. Here are the symptoms. The car started to stall after driving for a while. It stalled. If you wait for around 10 to 15 minutes or even 20 minutes, the car will start again. U can drive normally. Then it will stop again eventually. My wife called AAA twice. The first time, he changed the battery. My wife drove half a block the car died again. The same roadside assistant person returned and said it must be a fuel pump or the car ran out of gas. He added the gas even the needle showed that the gas is halfway empty. The car did not start. My wife called for a tow truck to tow the car home. The driver dropped the car. I got home just in time to ask him to see if he has any idea of the problem. He told me that it must be an alternator. Fuel pump will cost around three to four hundred for part and labor. The alternator might be around the same price range. I don't think I can do a fuel pump, but I might try to replace the alternator myself. I watched several videos regarding the car stalling in the middle of the street for no reason. It might be no spark, no gas, or something else. I decided to change the main fuel pump relay. You have to remove the glove box compartment. Before having someone replace your fuel pump, distributor, or alternator you should just change this really first it cost less than $50.00. Hope it helps. Thanks for the video again.

[@BlessedVeteranAdventures]

Did you find the problem? If not theres a plastic/rubber tab on your brake pedal. See if you replace it and if that does the trick.

[@orobinczaia5527]

Low flow problem fixed! Thank you!

[@hondaresource]

Glad it helped!

[@nightrider4594]

Thanks man! Among the many other things I'm doing with the CRV that thought has passed in-and-out of my mind a few times that there might be a filter somewhere I could change. I will definitely do that now thank you sir.

[@hondaresource]

It's something a lot of people don't even think about

[@scoop4321]

Cool video, and vey informative. I followed your instructions, however I modified it a bit. The lower brace that is directly in front of the filter was problematic for me. So after removing all the bolts to get it out of the way, I cut it in two places about 3 inches apart. Then I installed a hinge, and bolted it to the brace on the right. Then I used a piece of metal about 2 inches long, and bolted that to the bracket on the left. Then I used one bolt to secure that 2 inch piece to the 3 inch piece. Now all I have to do is remove one bolt, then I can swing the 3 inch piece with the hinge out of the way, and remove the filter. It saved me some work on this job.

[@hondaresource]

That's a great idea

[@JosephDR]

Thanks for the great idea. I'm going to do this.

[@herrwabbaloo937]

@scoop4321 What kind of hinge? Just something from Home Depot or something? What did you use to cut it? And what does that brace actually do? Thanks, buddy.

[@dalegreene5712]

Didn't expect to take that much apart but very informative video

I could definitely do this lil project on my own.

[@hondaresource]

You can do it, just take your time

[@mikeroth8056]

definitely more air now comes out of the vents after I changed a filter that probably hadn't been changed in years (I got the 2001 crv heavily used in 2021). I initially thought it was the blend door that was going bad.. but a clogged up filter was the culprit. Honda could have made this super easy and quick, but nooooo.

[@hondaresource]

It's definitely tougher than most

[@mountainsideentertainment8286]

Hey I have a 2001 Honda CR-V LX, and was wondering where you was located? That way maby you can diagnose some problems it has. Thanks!

[@efandmk3382]

They couldn't have made this filter any more inconvenient to change if they had deliberately tried. Maybe I'll just wait until I take it in for servicing.

[@hondaresource]

🤣🤣🤣 IKR

[@LaughOutLouie88]

No kidding! It’s like they designed it so you wouldn’t change it 😂

Hello! For some reason I happily found that in my Honda CRV 1997 filter replacement is much easier --filter drawer comes out from the bottom so I do not have to disassemble anything. Model without A/C cooler.

Would cutting a gap in that metal piece in front of the cabin air filter door be bad? I hate that thing.

[@falconlips5474]

Oh. I went to replace cabin filter today due to poor blower pressure and smell. Actually there was no filter or housing when i opened the hatch. And the AC evaporator is badly clogged, so now i need to try and clean it all out through the small slit cause i dont wanna take the evaporator out....

[@hondaresource]

I just checked it, it doesn't appear correct. I removed the link

[@robertrobinson839]

@@hondaresource yes unfortunately I found out the hard way. I didn't notice the difference in the filter shown on the video and the one on Amazon, before I ordered it. Now I have to return the item and wait for a refund before I can order the replacement. I love the videos but after finding 2 suspicious links I'll never trust those again.

[@joubess]

I changed my filter a couple of years ago after it hadn't been changed since the very early 2000's. It was so filthy!!! It had dirt, dust, mold, leaves, whatever crap have you. It was disgusting! I now change it every year if I'm driving it most days and every other year if I'm not driving it regularly.

[@hondaresource]

So many people forget about them

I currently got stuck doing this cabin filter on my buddies JDM 98’ Honda CR-V. OMG, what a nightmare! I really didn’t want to take it apart just to replace a damn cabin filter.

[@RogerEhinger-tg1hv]

Now I know why the shops want so much to replace it. Local dealership quit stocking genuine Honda parts for the generation one cars sometime ago, why go back there?

I just did another one yesterday 🤮

[@abdouallahuniverse5689]

For mine, crv 99, I found the cabine filter full of dirt from buttom to top, tree leaves and dust, and other look like cotton, it took me long time to clean all that dirt, it like the filter never been changed in the live of the car, i couldnt bellieve it, many peole they dont know about cabine filter.
