Q: How many cabin air filters do I purchase for a 1998 Honda CRV?
Hello, I'm attempting to change the cabin air filter in my 1998 Honda CRV by myself (the dealer told me $70). I haven't opened up the glove compartment as my car isn't with me at the moment. I want to order the cabin air filter online. I am confused because some people talk about replacing just 1 filter and others talk about two air filters being under the glove box. Which is it? Should I order 1 or 2 cabin air filters?

some one said to clean the switches. i took the switch panel out.not sure what to clean...

A: if it try,s to go up its not the switches on it,try adding some lithium grease to the sides of the window where it runs in the track of it,that will make it go up and down a lot easier,if that doesn't work it may be the widow coming of track or trying to,it could also be a bad regulator assembly causing this,and the whole assembly will have to be replaced if that's found to be the cause of it,good luck on it.

It started leaking a few weeks ago...I crawled under it and could not pin-point the problem. Then last evening I was going to check the fluid level and found the problem...No dipstick...Should I just buy another dipstick & add fluid or do I have to flush it , add new fluid and hope for the best. The fluid was just changed last year.

A: Honda's loosing their tranny dipstick is pretty common actually, just check the fluid,top it off, replace the dipstick, you should be fine. Had the same problem with my '99 Civic 3 months ago.

Q: 1998 honda crv?
I am looking to purchase a 1998 Honda CR-V. Any info on what type of kms to a tank you get. I currently drive a 1993 Honda Accord and wonder what type of jump in gas usage I will be looking at. Any other comments would be helpful.

A: We have a CRV in the family and it is a great car. I am sorry that I don't know the exact numbers for you. But you could probably check out Consumer Reports and get the numbers your looking for. What ever the number you will save greatly on repairs. The Honda's just keep going and going they are terrific.

Q: How hard is it to replace a/c compressor and drier on 1998 honda crv?
I am looking at buying a 1998 honda crv that needs a new a/c compressor and drier... I would like to do it myself to save money, but don't want to take on something that's too much... Here's some basic stuff I am able to do on my civic I have now... I've done brake master cylinder, brake calipers, fuel pump, valve cover gasket,, I know these are all pretty basic, so I wanted to know if my skill level is likely high enough to take on the compressor. I know I will have to bring it to a shop for them to depressurize it first and then once I am done they will have to recharge it... But the actual labor of replacing the compressor is quite a bit...several hundred dollars- I was going to that myself if possible

A: let the professionals do it because u have to put in so much oil then vacuum the system down check for leaks and then recharge unless u have an a/c machine you should let your mechanic handle any a/c service

Q: I have Honda CRV model 1998 a feel That it is slow when driving mountain highways?
Maybe because of the gear goes back from the 4th speed to the second instead of the third.

A: Yes it does I also have a Honda CRV...

Q: how do you change a 1998 honda crv timimg belt?


A: You'll have to take the timing cover off. It should be on the left side of the motor (passenger side). The belt is directly behind the cover. Depending on the car, the cover is usually black - maybe plastic. Replacing the belt is no easy task though. You may have to remove several items from the engine bay to get to it.

Q: How much would you pay for this honda crv?
I found a 1998 honda crv for sale with 120k miles...the blue book value in good condition is $4600... Fair condition is about $3300. It needs the a/c compressor replaced...How much should I offer since it needs this work done-shop will be replacing compressor, drier, and recharging the a/c system? Also, if the timing belt has not been changed, how much more should I take off for that? thanks

A: More info is needed to give you an accurate answer. Is it AWD or FWD? What's the trim level? auto or manual trans? It's not uncommon for a 10 year old Honda to need an A/C compressor. Call around to a couple of Honda dealers to get a price for the work (they will be the most expensive) and then use that amount to negotiate the price down. I doubt you can use a timing belt as a price negotiator. Even if the seller tells you it was replaced, you should get it changed because they may be lying.

Q: what do I do when the clutch is stuck on my 1998 Honda CRV?


A: You can try to pull the pedal out with your foot. Assuming this is a hydraulically-actuated clutch, this is typically the sign of a clutch master or slave cylinder with a bad seal or worn cylinder or piston. In the case of a bad master seal/cylinder, when you push your foot down, instead of the piston in the master cylinder pushing the fluid in front of it, which would then normally flow through the tubing to the slave cylinder, where it forces the slave to move, disengaging the clutch, the fluid instead is flowing around the master piston seal and getting behind the piston, where it then helps form a vacuum, trying to suck the slave cylinder backward instead of pushing it forward, which was your intent. By pulling the pedal out with your foot, you're forcing the fluid back out from behind the master cylinder to the front, where it belongs. You can buy kits to replace the pistons and seals, or you can just get a whole new master or slave unit. I had this happen once out on the highway during hot weather. The master cylinder expanded so much due to the engine and ambient heat that the piston seal in the master couldn't cope - it was old, and the seal material just wasn't pliable enough any more. I pulled the pedal out with the top of my foot. Once the car cooled down, everything worked again - for a while. I changed the seal in the master and slave, and all was still o.k. when I sold the car several years later.

Q: is it difficult to replace 1998 honda crv rear right door yourself?
i am pretty handy with tools

A: no it is really easy to replace the door itself. getting the spacing between the door and surrounding body panels can be the tricky part. it is way easier if you have a helper with a steady hand.

Q: how many miles a honda CRV 1998, needs to be driven before its ready for inspection?
check engine light was on for bad oxygen sensor, installed a new sensor, now I have to drive some miles to make the monitors ready again, how many miles exactly it needs to be driven before the monitors are ready again?

A: If you take your vehicle for a state emissions test shortly after the battery has been disconnected or gone dead, it may not pass the test. This is because of certain ‘‘readiness codes’’ that must be set in the onboard diagnostics for the emissions systems. These codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set again only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions. If the testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you will be requested to return at a later date to complete the test. If you must get the vehicle retested within the next two or three days, you can condition the vehicle for retesting by doing the following. Make sure the gas tank is nearly, but not completely full (around 3/4). Make sure the vehicle has been parked with the engine off for 8 hours or more. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 20° and 95°F. Without touching the accelerator pedal, start the engine, and let it idle for 20 seconds. Keep the vehicle in Park (automatic transmission) or Neutral (manual transmission). Increase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there until the temperature gauge rises to at least 1/4 of the scale (about 3minutes). Select a nearby lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway in D (A/T) or 5th/6th (M/T). Do not use the cruise control. When traffic allows, drive for 90 seconds without moving the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly; this is okay.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of traffic conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat it two more times (for a total of 90 seconds). Then drive in city/suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic conditions allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal. If the testing facility determines the readiness codes are still not set, see your dealer.
