life expectancy for CR-Vs? - Page 2 - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

Honda's last forever it does not matter how you drive it, just do everything that needs to get done

Watch out for the rear diff of the CRV and make shure that the fluid was changed every 30k cause they are not cheap

With a CRV if anyone of the tires has a 2/32 diff you need to replace all 4 tires. If you dont it could f-up the rear diff

I got a 1992 Integra and I beat the piss out of it I do everything that needs to be done and it runs like a champ 182,000 miles later

Friend of mine had one with 230K and its dead now. However thats because she rolled it speeding.

There's this lady that comes into get her car serviced and she has 300,000 miles on her 99 CR-V. That thing is there for all her services and it still shifts hard (M/T)

I'm almost at 126,000 on my 02 and it works fine. When anything dies on it, it'll get replaced. I'm going to replace everything on it when it gets to 200,000. New engine, probably out of the 08-09 Cr-v and a new transmission, and maybe even new suspension, but then again, this is my most favorite car I have ever owned. So I'm keeping it for a LONG time.

Well spoken. I actually had a friend who had a 330,000 Mile civic, that his family used to drive across the country several times, and it still worked just fine.

Are the new diffs in the rear of the '04 on CR-V's as sensative to tire wear?

If I am looking to buy one how do I check it?

crvchris · 02-27-2009, 05:44 AM

the AWD system is engaged by differences in wheel speed, so any difference could engage the clutch pack and cause premature wear

i have a 99' cr-v and i just hit 200,00 miles easily. tha transmission is kinda havin problems but its done its time.

Transimissions on a front wheel drive couldn't be easier to replace, especially on the Cr-v. Well, maybe it's just easy for me. Not as big a deal as a true 4wd vehicle.

The rear wheel engagement is nice in a slip, but I'm planning on putting a full all time 4wd on it, maybe a quatro system or Subaru output. I plan on jacking the 165hp to as much surface area as possible. Either that or it's getting converted to rear-wheel drive. (but that would be when I swap it for a new engine way later) Because I'd have to flip it back forward, rather than sideways.

i think it depends on many aspects. it must can be longer if you treat it good.

carterjames · 05-06-2009, 10:37 PM

i have a 98 crv with 179,000 runs like a champ well maintanced havent had any problems but a short in dome light but that mainly due to gravel driving
