Honda CRV [continued]

[falken]

what will happen if you don't repair the leaks.. I add oil naman every month.. i'm just concerned of the vtec solenoid leak since baka ma hina oil pressure.. would it?

well.. dati I went to a talyer to ask opinion bakit nag vibrate engine ko... he said dapat daw I overhaul na transmission kasi sira na kaya vibrate.. then I went to Honda casa.. eh engine support plastic lang sira.. after napalit.. wala na vibration.. so lessen na trust ko sa talyer..

There are still a lot of good talyers around, you just have to sort out the good ones from the crooks.

meron kame pinupuntahan sa banawe na talyer. tapat ng Sogo sa banawe.

yun corolla ko at ng wife ko dun namin dinadala for repairs, yun sa wife ko palit pa ng AT tranny ginawa nila, ok naman. but that was like more than 5 years ago don't know now kung ok pa sila ngayon pero you can try to check it out.

Dun ko dinala same crv ko last 2015. meron leak sa rack and pinion.. then said meron na tama.. dapat palit.. then they put surplus.. on next day.. meron ulit leak sa surplus.. then they put second surplus.. tapus next day meron ulit leak sa 2nd surplus! after that I know I won't trust surplus again... then they put replacement.. now 2.5 years later.. meron na leak sa rack and pinion replacement.. I won't fix the leak muna kasi not malakas pa.. sayang natapun na original rack and pinion.. puwede pala kit sa casa but costs 15,000.

If you have a CRV 04 that is worth 200k only now sa market.. would you fix the engine leaks for 20,000?

if i intend to use the car still, i'd have it fixed, but outside the casa.
i think it can be fixed outside the casa, for less then half the casa estimate.

but if i intend to sell the car, "caveat emptor". i'll just mention to potential buyers, that the engine leaks, and "bahala na silang mag-ayos".

where is the leak? is it in the rack assembly, or is it from the hose?
if from the hose, replace it with OEM or a japanese hose.

50/50 talaga pag surplus lalo pag rack and pinion, you should check un sa loob kung may tama na, pag may tama na kahit orig repair kit pa yan masisira din agad yan kasi may tama na un pinaka structure. my dads civic may leak brake master nagpalit ng orig repair kit may leak pa din palit ng surplus may leak pa din after a while, hanggang sa nabenta un oto na may leak.

why not buy original parts then have a talyer mechanic do the labor for you. mas malaki matitipid mo sa labor. unlike pag sa casa, isang bukasan lang naman ang makina pero yun labor isa isa ang charge nila. ultimo basahan at grasa naka lista.

Ano ba yun 2004 na CRV? Yun gen 2? Yun 7 seater kuno?

It's from the rack assembly.. or the rack end seal sa lower boot sa picture below:



the picture was taken in 2015 before it was put in car...

anyway.. my priority is the leak... I called up Honda Manila to confirm the exact prices, and the price of the Torque Converter is much more expensive.. hence:

rear crank shalf oil seal (transmission side)... labor 3,600
front crank shalf oil seal ........................... labor 3,600
need to reseal timing chain cover................. labor 3,600
valve cover gasket..................part 862 ....... labor 900
vtec strainer..........................part 468 ....... labor 900
vtec gasket...........................part 351 ....... labor 900
vtec solenoid oring leak..........part 850 ....... labor 600
oil pressure switch leak...........part 2000 ....... labor 900
torque converter oil seal leak...part 1200.... labor 3600

total costs exactly 24,331! expensive torque converter and the shalf leak and timing chain kasi baba pa transmission sa most of them... and I can't trust talyer anymore after numerous bad experiences with them..

tomorrow i'll bring my car to Honda manila.. based on your knowledge of engine principles.. ano theoretically pinaka important ma fix na leak? budget ko ay 3k muna.. I'm thinking it's the vtec solenoid oring leak because that's where the oil first pass by when it is pumped to the engine.. i'm still studying vtec engine principles for the pathway of the oil today...

in your own words.. can you summarize how the oil is pumped to the engine? i'm still analyzing how the vtec solenoid functions in it. Thanks.

Solenoid? Pagawa mo na lang sa labas sobrang bilis lang gawin niya Then yun magtitipid mo treat mo na lang sa amin. [emoji23]

I need to know something urgent about adding coolant in the radiator...

I just read now in the manual while reviewing it that "The coolant should always be a mixture of 50 percent antifreeze and 50 percent water. Never add straight antifreeze or plain water".

Well. About 2 or 3 weeks ago. My radiator had all the coolant flow down a hole below (not hose).. I saw steam while driving at araneta.. tapus tinabi ko sa side of road. Wala na coolant because of the hole (even when I added water, bumababa lang sa hole). So I went to banawe to call a mechanic na puwede maka punta sa araneta. I asked Mega Motion in banawe for a mechanic to go with me to araneta. They have fewer customers because their prices are double that of others kaya vacant mechanic nila. After the mechanic saw my car.. sira na radiator unit so I bought a new one at casa for 13,000 and told me to buy 4 liters of honda coolant. After nakabit nya. He added all the coolant without mixing with water. So I may have pure coolant now. When the hoses were replaced.. they just recycled the coolant thinking baka mixed with water na.

Question. What would happen if pure coolant (or antifreeze) linagay mo sa radiator sa car??

Pre mixed na ang coolant ng honda.

good.. para less problem to think...

I'm analyzing Vtec operation to decide what would happen if hindi ko pina ayus yun solenoid leak... it says : VTEC - Wikipedia


"At the switch point a solenoid is actuated that allows oil pressure from a spool valve to operate a locking pin which binds the high RPM rocker arm to the low RPM ones. From this point on, the valves open and close according to the high-lift profile, which opens the valve further and for a longer time."

According to a Honda manila service advistor, ma affected ang pressure if meron leak sa solenoid.. while a Honda kalookan service advisor said hindi naman ma affected ang oil pressure. Sino tama?

[k_leos]

Yesterday I spent over an hour talking to 4 different Honda branches. Kasi one of them mentioned I have "Spool Valve Strainer Leak". I don't know the location of this so I asked the Honda service advisors how it differed to the "Vtec Solenoid Oring Leak". Most of them mentioned how the spool valve strainer is above the engine while the solenoid is below daw of separate units. I googled a lot and getting confused.. I even talked to their parts department, fortunately.. One of the saleman told me the Spool Valve Strainer is inside the Vtec Solenoid then I realized what they meant. Also because one branch said I had leak, while another branch said I didn't have leak. I want to see for myself and still checking out the car.



This is called a VTEC Solenoid Spool Valve unit... some advisors thought the spool valve was another unit in the engine maybe because there are many spool valves inside the engine..

The following is called a Spool Valve Strainer



now my questions

1. I know the solenoid functions to allow oil pressure from the spool valve inside the same unit (I thought nasa labas) to operate a locking pin which binds the high RPM rocker arm to the low RPM ones. Is the source of the oil the same where the engine pumped it around the different valves, piston, etc.?

2. According to the advisors. If I fixed it.. the leaks in the other parts like shalf would get stronger kasi more pressure na daw....

3. I'm not sure if the leak really came from the Solenoid. Ano symptoms if meron leak dito? I saw the Driveshalf boot wet below pero the boot is not directly below the Solenoid.. so maybe from other causes?

4. How could the Spool Valve Strainer only costs 50 pesos? Maybe you are referring to the O-ring??

5. Lastly.. in the picture above of the Solenoid.. if it is not actuated.. what part of the 3 compartment the oil stays under pressure so I'd know if the leak only occurs when it is actuated or during standby too.

Thanks.

Sino mga expert sa leak dito (or kahit not so expert)... (see above descriptions).. please help me trace the leak.. the following pictures are from top to bottom of the Honda CRV 04 matic.....















So, does the leak come from above? What is in the corner of the engine above that can produce the leak?

Or is it in the Solenoid?

What do you think?

Honda casa will charge me 2k to fix solenoid labor and parts and I have to leave it 5 hours tomorrow or Monday morning because there are many in lineups and he said there are sensors that must be disabled before removing the solenoid.

If the leak is not in the solenoid but above then I'd not fix it muna because it will all cost about 23k..

Thank you!

Parehas tayo naging problema. Dalawa pinalitan sa unit ko because of oil leak. Isa ung solenoid spool valve strainer. Tumitigas daw ung rubber ring seal in due time and eventually the rubber seal could no longer hold the oil press thus the leak will happen. Meron pa isang rubber seal (o-ring) na pinalitan adjacent sa solenoid spool valve.

Isinabay ko na din palit ng mga o-ring sa power steering pump because of oil leak din. One thing bad sa design ng CRV2002 model ay ung position ng alternator. Kasi it is placed right below the power steering pump. Kaya kung may leak sa power steering pump ay sa alternator ang bagsak tsaka dun sa v-belt transmission line. Huh! what a mess.

How many times na napalitan ang mga radiator fan motor ng mga honda cars ninyo? Ako mga 4 times na. Nasisira every 3 years. Mag sira na anytime this year. Meron sa inyo na 10 yrs na and hindi pa sila fan motor? What honda cars do you have?

Pa engine wash ka muna para mawala malinis Then makikita mo kung saan talaga galing.

Sir ang unit ko honda crv 2002 model. Nov.2017 lang ako nagpalit ng radiator fan motor dahil sa stuck-up bearing. Buti napansin ko agad ung engine temp dahan dahan umakyat kaya pinatay ko agad AC unit at naiwasan ko magoverheat ang engine. Ung condenser fan motor minsan lang ako nagpalit yr2015
