How is the Honda CRV in the Cold?
My 2018 EX (1.5L) CR-V is horrible in cold temperatures. It’s -20ish C this weekend in Quebec and even after driving the CR-V through a 150km mix of highway and city driving, my temp only reached normal op temperatures once. The rest, the temp gauge danced between midpoint and at some points, even disappeared as the engine got too cold.
What’s the temp on a 2018 Honda CRV?
Mine is 22C in auto climate. My 2018 EX (1.5L) CR-V is horrible in cold temperatures. It’s -20ish C this weekend in Quebec and even after driving the CR-V through a 150km mix of highway and city driving, my temp only reached normal op temperatures once.
Why is my Honda CRV not heating up?
This water jacket should assist in engine warm up as coolant would circulate through it and go to the heater core. VW and Ford have similar setups to assist in engine warm up. Maybe its not working well in Honda. How a dealership and Honda could deny a disappearing temp gauge and say it was functioning ok is beyond me.
How does a 1.5T Honda CRV heater work?
The 1.5t is supposed to have exhaust manifold integrated into the head and cooled by a water jacket so it can reduce exhaust temperature by 100F. This water jacket should assist in engine warm up as coolant would circulate through it and go to the heater core. VW and Ford have similar setups to assist in engine warm up.
Are there any problems with the Honda CRV?
Honda so far has only conducted a recall in China & a “product update” in Canada. CR-V owners also report no heat even after warming up their CR-Vs for 30 minutes — not even enough to defrost the windshield. So far, there has been no fix from Honda for this issue.

What causes a Honda CRV engine to overheat?
If your CR-V’s engine gets hot enough, the coolant will begin to boil over and manifest itself as steam coming up from under the hood. It does this to relieve the pressure on the cooling system before lasting damage can be done to it. 3. Blown Head Gasket
Is there an issue with the Honda CRV?
There is no issue here. With a remote start, the CRV engine will begin to warm up, but not reach operating temperature until driven. If you continue to idle past 10 minutes continuously you WILL experience some OD.
Can a Honda CRV go over 200 F?
Once the engine as full running temperature.. the gauge literally will not move further up the tick marks, even as the engine temp approches 200 F unless/until the engine advances to an over temp condition (which is pretty well impossible for this engine, unless something with the cooling system is broken).
What’s the best way to read a Honda CRV?
Keep a little notebook or index card to record your readings. Always.. Always read under the same parked conditions as much as possible (ie: level surface, engine warm, wait 3 minutes after stopping engine, which is the Honda recommendation). Most of all… enjoy your shiny new CRV!!
