I like how the dash in my European version Honda HRV 1999 model with the same color on the outside body has the same exact speedometer and rev meter but my one is in kilometers. I live in Lithuania, had the car for 12 years now and I absolutely adore it! My one was made in Japan and still has almost all parts fully original, even the manual shifter still works like a charm after being tortured by my mom for so long. The car is my now.

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Hi and thank you for the comment . The HRV is a really sensible vehicle without being a full on, and heavy 4x4. Though a diesel might have polished it off well. Did like mine though cost of parts did worry me.

[@motorbikemuso]

By far the BEST self help video I've ever seen on KZbin. THANKS and congratulations

I also have a 2000 Honda hrv, I use it as my truck, I also tow a camping trailer it has now done 300k plus and still going still drives like new. The only thing you have to keep an eye is the rust specially the bottom part of the windscreen and window sills.

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Thank you for your comment. I did like mine though parts seemed very expensive. Think a cam sensor was £250 compared to £50 on most cars. Was perfect as a car for going hiking in. Nice and high but without the full on 4x4 troubles.

[@DANIEL-ls5ku]

@@CoatsandGaiters it’s true on the highway it drive like a normal car with an added height as a bonus but when you take it off-road boy it delivers! It’s also true that price on part is a little higher compare to my Toyota but I notice you pay for the price because Honda just damn work! I am now converting it into a weekend adventure vehicle to spend more time outdoors 👍🏼enjoy your ride!

[@CoatsandGaiters]

@@DANIEL-ls5ku what would have been nice to see in the Honda I thought was a 2 litre DCI Diesel as that would give great power and amazing economy. You'd get like 60mpg then at least. Honda is more petrol though than diesel and now diesel is the devil sadly.

Hello, I got really excited watching your video, thank you :) I have a 2006 HRV with CVT.. The car rattles every time it starts to move, it rattles harder when the car is inclined.. The rattling goes worse every week.. What do you recommend? :(

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Abdullah Kahraman those use timing belts I believe so it shouldn’t be timing chain rattle. Has something broken under the head cover? I’d probably go around it with a microphone to see where the sound is loudest.

[@AbdullahKahramanPhD]

@@CoatsandGaiters Thanks a ton for the answer! The rattling started subtle and now it is huge.. After the car is going about 1-2 seconds, there is no rattling at all.. I don't want to believe that it started after I changed the CVT fluid with Kroon SP MATIC 4016.. People say that one should only use Honda CVT fluid.. So, I was listening more carefully after the CVT fluid change a year ago and I noticed it back then but it was really subtle and only at very harsh accelerations..

@@CoatsandGaiters Interesting that the examiners passed you without being able to reverse....reminds me when my son's girl friend passed her test first time but he had to park her car when she came round to our house, because she couldn't. Gives one confidence in the system!

[@CoatsandGaiters]

@@tonyarnold9784 the test was really thorough, I had 2 tests, the first I failed immediately when uncoupling the trailer and started to do the procedure in the wrong order. I still did the reverse ok and the drive went well. The 2nd test I passed the reverse procedure again with no problems and passed the uncoupling and the drive - the tests are hard as they wont pass you unless your safe. Normally employers in the trucking industry want 2 years experience and I think the reason for this is most newbies struggle with reversing. On the test you learn the procedure over and over again so it becomes a routine and it works for the test. In the real world everything changes and suddenly the truck is different, the trailer is different, mirrors are different so now its down to whether you understood the reversing method in your head. For me I just haven't got it sussed and there is my issue. I had a driving evaluation and the job was on the table for me but I couldnt pull the simplest of reverses off which told the employer I wasn't ready and still needed more reversing practice. Ideally I need an artic and a lorry car park for the day to go over and over things till something clicks in my head.

Really sorry but I had to sell the Honda on being made redundant. Do miss that car as it was ideal for walking and hiking. If I can get another one day I will bear your request in mind. On a Ford Fiesta at the mo till things get better.

[@tonyarnold9784]

Funny but was looking to do same..fuel on this Honda and PCV valve on Honda Prelude (1986)

[@Helloverlord]

Seems HRV 1999-2000 hasnt got a fuel filter installed at all, just a mesh in a fuel tank under the pump, but that mash is prone to rubbing off of tank bottom so worth checking out. From 2001. fuel filter was mounted at the passanger side firewall/engine bay, reachable and easy to replace.

[@parlez-vousfrancais9731]

@@Helloverlord Many thanks. Have scrapped it sadly now...break pipes corroded and hard to get at..have another though which is newer and filter is where you describe. Thanks

[@restlessjack0042]

Helloverlord Oddly enough I have a 2001 with 1.6 d16w5 but the fuel filter is not at the passenger firewall or in the engine bay. Theres just wiper arm motor and fuel line that goes through the firewall where the filter should be. So the filter must be inside the fuel tank or there is just the mesh. Btw, Pcv valve is above the oil filter and it is straight style, not the 90 degree type.

[@COCOOPSs]

Any idea on safe locations to jack the rear of this vehicle? I have jack stands and will be getting a trolly jack, but Honda only mention the pinch weld on the sills, and there's no room to jack and put the stand on the sill at the same time. Would appreciate any help.

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Hi I have added a photo from the manual on using a Jack and it appears there is a jacking point at the front and the rear. Ive added the photo under my 'Community' section. kzbin.info/door/MgZuhOMsWa9f3CtMQ2aCNQcommunity?view_as=subscriber

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Thanks for this, but I've found this image on a russian site previously and couldn't find anything under the car that looks like this. The only thing near the middle protruding down is the rear diff (and it doesn't match the picture). I have the 5 door version, 2002, if that makes any difference. Also, can I ask where you got the repair manual from or if you could send me it? I've had trouble finding any info on this car, especially in english. :(

Your other possibly option is using a cross bar on the jack head. www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/Sealey-X136-5024209114066-Cross-Beam-Adaptor-2Tonne My wife bought the manual on ebay I think as disc, was a bit of a nightmare to get running especially with Windows 10.

Hi! I just bought a honda hr-v from 2002 1.6 VTEC 4wd gh4. Currently the oil pressure light is always on. i had change all the oil sensors by new original sensors from honda and the light stills on. At the moment the car is using 15w - 40 oil type. might be that? Greetings from Argentina!

[@CoatsandGaiters]

I'd check the pressure coming from the oil pump with a gauge. There is sometimes a small bolt on the oil feed area or near the oil filter where a gauge can be connected to see. Is mileage very high? worn out pump?

@@floncho7508 Someone mentioned the oil I used was a bit thin and that 10w40 would be better. Low oil pressure is a bit worrying though. I've never had that come on on any car I have owned so I'd assume there is an issue maybe with the oil pump.

@@CoatsandGaiters I change it and yes, it is too thin for the engine. I 'll replace it for the 10w - 40 in the next service. Might be something electric too.

I owned an auto model from 1999 until recently, for 20 years.. Only changed oil about 6 times and filter about 3 as hard to jack up. Did over 160k. Now have another low miles manual. Do you know where petrol filter is located. Old one was under the bonnet but can;t see it on this one. Is it at fuel tank?

[@CoatsandGaiters]

Hi it looks to be on the bulkhead behind the engine Tony. A pipe entering the bottom and exiting out the top to the fuel injectors. The fuel filter should be replaced whenever the fuel pressure drops below the specified value (260-310 kPa (2.7-3.2 kgf/cm2, 38-46 psi) with the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose disconnected and pinched), after making sure that the fuel pump and the fuel pressure regulator are OK. 1. Disconnect the battery negative cable from the battery negative terminal. 2. Place a shop towel under and around the fuel filter. 3. Relieve fuel pressure (See Page 11-80). 4. Remove the 12 mm sealing bolt and the fuel feed pipe from the fuel filter, while supporting it with another wrench, as shown. 5. Remove the fuel filter clamp and fuel filter. 6. Install the new fuel filter in the reverse order of removal and note these items:s When assembling, use new washers as shown.s Clean the flared joint of high pressure hoses thoroughly before reconnecting them. 1. 12 mm SEALING BOLT 33 Nm (3.4 kgf/m, 25 lbf/ft) 2. 37 Nm (3.8 kgf/m, 27 lbf/ft) 3. 9.8 Nm (1.0 kgf/m, 7.2 lbf/ft) 4.

@@CoatsandGaiters Many thanks for this info. In the old auto model I had (1999) I could see the pump as you describe but not on this one I now run which is a Manual model. It wouldn't start so initially I changed the rotar arm which was a cause of non start sometimes in the old one. However this one had an issue as the screw holding it in was threaded (by me). However yesterday drilled it out etc much to my surprise and delight. Starts and runs better but now and again seems to lack power slightly so thought could be fuel starvation. Bought it 3 years ago with only 59k on it. Warning light (Crankcase) came on after buying it but owner gave me £300 back so it cost £1k and a bargain. Light has finally gone out on its own accord and its done 3ok with no issues, over to France etc. The auto though was better for this car. I am going to see if Honda (Bath) will throw light on it but will physically check myself first. I think change may have been made with design.
