Does a 2002 Honda CR-V have a timing belt or chain?
Between 1997 and 2001 Honda CRV was equipped with a timing belt under the hood. However, starting in the 2002 model year, Honda swapped out the timing belt in favour of the much more durable timing chain. To this day the CRV is still made with a timing chain.
What kind of transmission is in a 2002 Honda CR-V?
4-speed automatic transmission
Two transmission choices are available for the 2002 CR-V – a new 4-speed automatic transmission and a new 5-speed manual transmission. The automatic transmission in the 2002 CR-V is an all-new design that delivers exceptional smoothness, economy, space savings and intuitive shift points.
Is the Honda CRV reliable after 200, 000 miles?
If the car was maintained properly, I’d be surprised to see any of the engine issues that you list before 200,000 miles. Honda builds solid engines. On the other hand, Honda’s automatic transmissions weren’t particularly great in the early 2000s, so possibly that could be on the horizon for you.
Is the Honda CRV good for regular oil changes?
The CRV is good overall car and the hold up well. A Honda motor can easily go 200K+ miles with regular oil changes. You are aware of the timing belt, and they need to be changed on schedule. The main issue with the CRV is they are very particular to fluid changes with Honda brand fluids.
What was the weight of my Honda CRV?
I weighed in at about 7,900 pounds combined weight. With a 5 speed manual transmission, I sold it in 1992 with about 160,000 mi. having never changed the clutch (which was still in good shape) and only changing the brakes one time (also still in good shape).
Is the Honda CRV a good multi use vehicle?
The CRV looks like a good multi use choice. Before the Chevy van I had an ‘85 4 cyl. 105 hp Nissan King Cab 1/2 ton PU. I bought it new, took good care of it, but worked it hard. With a class III trailer hitch I used it to pull a 21’ Prowler RV Trailer all over the USA.
