2002 HONDA CRV COLD ANTIFREEZE LEAK

Here is a site on how to replace it. But first make sure that the leak is at the thermostat and not a hose or a bad water pump. This can be done by using a cooling system pressure pump and putting the cooling system under pressure then looking for the source of the leak. A parts store may let you borrow a pump, or let a mechanic test the system for you. Always make sure that there is no pressure on the cooling system by squeezing the radiator hose before attempting to remove the radiator cap.

Does your mother in law sit on the passenger side ?

thermostat is broken... if your in car and smell antifreeze then check heater core its behind glove compartment it may be leaking....

water in fuel. put some water remover or gas line antifreeze in and keep tank full. the reason its worse after sitting is because the water sinks to bottom of tank and then the car is trying to run on just water. after driving it mixes with fuel

The water pump is located inside the timing cover, the timing belt drives the water pump, replace timing belt also when doing water pump, will save you labor down the road. Hope this was helpful for you.

Did you have compressor checked to make sure it is not the problem? Or did you just charge due to lack of cool air? Some parts stores can check it. Garages too.. If not the prob let me know..

Usually it just needs a recharge of refrigerant. The coolant leak question was vague. Check your brake fluid and see if if needs to be filled. The brake light sensor is on the brake fluid reservoir. It comes on when it needs replenishment.

Hi!

Can you specify if you are referring to the engine intake air filter or the cabin air filter?
If you are referencing the cabin air filter, the attached youtube video should help.

I originally created the video for the Odyssey, but found out after looking at my dad's CRV that it is essentially the same procedure as the Odyssey, and have also noticed that the same stands true for most Honda vehicles built between 2005 and 2009.

Happy motoring!

That was a common complaint a few years back, due to the fact that the heater core is a little too much higher than the engine, which requires that extra push it gets when engine RPM's increase. One thing I did do on my Caravan was remove my hoses to the heater core, and use a small external pump with hoses to circulate C.L.R. through my core for a while, then let it sit with CLR in the core overnight.Next day I circulated it through again, both ways by reversing hoses, and then re-attached hoses, bled air out of system, and notice quite an improvement in heat at idle. Once cleaned out, the heater core allowed coolant flow through it better at idle. If your stumped by explanation, take it to an automotive shop, or a Rad shop, and get a quote on flushing that core out for you. I recommend the CLR, but it might be too time consuming for you , but a flush will probably show some noticeable improvement.
