    Not all codes cause the MIL to illuminate.  There are literally hundreds of possible faults - not all of them are costly to fix. This Honda (K series engine) is quite prone to faults due to split/perished vacuum pipes.

    Do you think a simple device like this will do for me. (Nothing to do with the price, of course)

  2.  Good thinking BRIAN but it’s not the special models, it does have overdrive, but I never use it. In fact, I’m not sure how do you know. if I’m driving along, and I press the overdrive on the gear stick I don’t quite understand it’s reaction

    obd2 error codes start with P and then 4 digits.

    Its not the way to figure out poor gas mileage, especially if the car drives fine.

    You’re probably right, In fact, I seem to recall the P codes from Scotty Kilmer.

    but it was a nice, easy way for a moron to start 🙂

    All those red falses............. they are connection issues.

     

    From what I can see your CRV uses ISO 9141 protocol.. the ELM 327 supports ISO 9141-2... might be why you are get the falses.

    Thanks, Ralph… Yes, I guess I’ll just have to dig all that up so I’m working with the right data.

    My medication’s have worn off again if you feel like throwing me a bone, or a link, that would be nice

    Based on the above estimate of 11 litres/100 km, roughly 22 miles/ gal. US, seems reasonable for city type start stop driving. My 2005 crv gets about that, but can be higher if highway driving, closer to 27 mpg.

    Thanks for that DEGRUVB,

    The only thing is, did I go into Chiangmai every day and yes When I’m environ, I’m buzzing around and stopping and starting. But it takes a good half hour to get in and out or out each day so that’s at least 40 km a freeway or winding road driving.

    Hmmmm……

    So thats approx 11lt/100km.

     

    What model CRV ?

    Honda CRV, second generation, 2003, very low mileage, I believe, two data, CVT,CVT

    Haven’t looked at the plugs yet, but it runs beautifully brackets seemingly brackets thought I might as well run the codes first

    Hi

    I messaged roughly how much gas my Honda CRV is using.

    It looks like I got roughly 250 KM for ฿1000. This seems like a hell of a lot, so I got out my OBD two scanner ELM 327 and try it out last night. I’m sorry to come here to ask for interpretation, but I have Parkinson and you can’t use my hands in the morning typing with his voice typing these days.

    I’ll send the results in the next post or in the next message

  9. Yes I'm just wondering if a typical OBD2 SCANNER complete with screen and button functions, price as low as $50 or less now, has any real advantages over  an elm327 Bluetooth module, (I own one availab

     le for about 50baht!) where ones phone is the screen and  phone buttons replace scanner buttons. I'm they will have some assets like enhanced storage and so on, but I believe for instance that they elm 327 modules can handle resets and get any other information one may require from the censors in the engine.

    I highly recommend the ATOTO brand of Android units, if there is one for your car. You don't even need Android Auto then, although it is still an option.

     

    The problem with Android Auto for me is that the wireless pairing is flaky, depending on the phone and head unit (2022 Fortuner with a Samsung Galaxy S21 does NOT work, for example).

     

    Had an ATOTO unit in the Pajero before that and it was a dream. The only reason I've not installed one in the Fortuner yet is that I've not yet found a model that supports the 360 degree camera.

     

    Had never heard of ATOTO before, knew they were Chinese and was expecting low quality, low features. I was very wrong. Bought mine from Amazon US although I also believe they sell direct from their website. I used a USB dongle and a True sim to give the ATOTO head unit fully internet access totally independent from my phone, but you could use the phone as a hotspot and do away with the need.

     

    Android Auto is kind of OK, but having to use the phone, for me at least, is an inferior option than having all the features built into the head unit. You can also install pretty much ANY Android app, whereas what you can do with Android Auto is very limited (full screen video when stuck in traffic... Netflix, ODB2 connection to car diagnostics and a zillion other things).


    a first class answer.

    you might say ATOTAL answer

  11. Hi there
    I have two Hondas, a 2003 CRV and a Jazz iDSL. The CRV especially has very low mileage, it’s like,driving a new car. So I don’t need anything new or expensive, but I am willing to update things like fitting an AV screen and fit a rear view camera. I did this when I bought the CRV with a 7 inch screen.
    Fact is this now seems to be out of date, so I would now like to fit a 9 inch screen to make navigation easier.
    I went to a very good shop near the train station yesterday.
    It seems that to accommodate a larger screen they can fit a frame made for the model in question. (I’ve not been able to find the frame adaptors advertised…..anyone seen them?)


    I am just wonder8ng if instead of paying a total of about 5500 for each car quoted for the device, the frame, and the camera, I could get my components from Lazada or similar. Fitting I could probably manage myself but rather not, so I’d like someone to do that. 
    if it was easy, could I still use the 7 inch screen fitted to the CRV with some sort of add-on hardware or software?

    Lastly I’m not sure what these things are called…..is it Android Auto system? Or system AV? Would that be "Rabob Android Auto" in Thai.
    I use both Mac (iPad) and Android (phone) and I think some at least of these devices will accommodate both from their ads. Am I right?

    Thanks in advance

    Putting the poor kid into debt,  on a 20 year old banger, just leave the kid alone and move on. no need to repair it, it's cosmetic and no one gives a hoot, it will be scrapped in a few years anyway..

     


    happily my CRV has done 200,000 miles less than this one.

    and I have leather seats that look new.

    Not to mention the picnic table.

    I don't think I deserve you presenting me as some unfeeling swine, when I went out of my way and chose the lowest price body shop I know.

    I felt it needed a wing because there's a tight little foldold or crease in the wing..... But on the advice of the body shop he says he could probably manage it and I'm okay with that...... and I am shortly about to call Dang klong Pratu, who I know, to get the best price possible for the headlight cluster. I could easily go to Honda and pay three times as much.

    As I paid so much for meds that my household budget is way underwater I didn't see any reason I shouldn't get a contribution to repairs.

    I gave both of these kids a warning about how easy it is to end up being affected for the rest of your life by the results of such dangerous driving is this.

    No, you can keep your advice to yourself

    Sorry I was wrong.  And what's that adjective describing Mr Scotty?

     

    Car Insurance Comparison

    There are a number of insurance types you can get for your vehicle or motorcycle. Below is a detailed outline of each type.

    Type 1

    This is the most expensive and comprehensive type of insurance offered in Thailand. It should cover you from all accidents and problems. Also, it’s the only insurance type that covers an accident not involving a third party, such as hitting a wall, hitting a dog, getting a scratch, and so on.

    In some cases you need to pay an excess and in other cases you don’t have to pay for it.

    Type 1 insurance is normally available to a vehicle that is less than seven years old. However, it is still possible to get Type 1 insurance for an older car as long as it has a good record and history without major accidents involved.

     

    Which suggests that it the car's fault for any accidents, not the owner/driver.

    Thanks for that.

    I tried to say Scotty is prolific. Carmakers quick at the thought of him dissing the latest model. He takes no commissions and I believe him.. still drives a,20year old Toyota and fixes cars in his driveway. He produces a great number of YouTube videos and presumably it is this that have made him worth 7 million$.

    As well as new panels, I would get a new wife if I were you. One who gets FULL insurance on your pride & joy.

    By the way, who the 4..k is Scotty Kilmer?

     

    Just realised that you cannot get full insurance on a 20 year old banger.

    Really you can't get insurance on a 20 year old eh?

    Scotty kilmer is undoubtedly the most proli unific and followed carguru on YouTube. Give him a try.

     

     

  16. Hello there

     

    It’s not been my week. A week or so ago I parked the car. close to the curb, left the flashers on when I run into a shop to pick up a couple of bags. There was an enormous bang, and a motorbike had run into my rear offside of my car, possibly without braking whether he was texting or not I don’t know he was Burmese. My insurance man came, but it turned out My wife had only bought third-party insurance. Happily, by some miracle, the boy was not hurt. Happily also the damage is not deep. As the kid just has a very normal job working in GO wholesale, And I felt sorry for him. I would be content to just get a cheap job done. My wife was going to take the car to the local, very economical panel guy to decide how much to ask him.

     

    Last night someone pulled out of a side turning straight into the front corner of my car. Located police and my insurance man arrived, we went to the police station with the Lt Colonel who arrived on the scene. They decided I was completely guilt free, and I have the letter from the lieutenant colonel saying that the student involved had "confessed". His father had turned up and was completely completely in agreement.
    He said he knew a repair man who did work for Toyota and would I go there with him today at 9 o’clock? It was in San Kamphaeng, rather a distance, and I felt rushed and that I should learn a bit about the detail of the repair so I said I’d call him later today.

     

    To explain further, I’m driving a Honda CRV 2003 I bought from a friend, but it is a fantastic example of a Honda CRV gen2, which I and Scotty Kilmer consider the best year and the best car. It is very lightly used, parked out of the sun, all services and repairs by Honda. it is like driving a new car and the leather seats etc etc look like it just came out of the showroom. I saw this car parked up all the time as we both owned condos on the same building, and I saw the he rode a little motorcycle all the time. So I had my eye on it for years, and eventually it came to me. it has had a speedo cluster replacement, and reads near 10,000, but I have no reason to disbelieve when he says the mileage is about 80,000 km. Properly maintained of course these Honda Vtec engines can easily do three, four, 500,000 miles.

     

    So in the past, I’ve had Thai drivers hit me, always in the rear of the car, And when they’ve been told by the police to pay me, I’ve been contented for the panel or two to be filled with Bondo and a quick paint job. 
    But this is the car I really like, and at my age, I think it would see me out.

     

    so I’d be very interested in the opinions of readers whether I can reasonably ask for new panels on a 20yr old car, and whether, I can reasonably take it to an established insurance body shop.

     

     in fact I just had a good look at the car and taking some photos. There is one panel, the front offside ring which is quite dented as you see. Another silver panel has been scratched and mildly dented, but this kind of panel goes from one side of the car to the other, above the “bumper“

    The bumper itself has a small area of damage was actually torn and the torn area sticks out.

    The car also needs an offside headlight assembly, I would like to have a quality that will not yellow in future.

    The drivers door creeks when I close or open it as it is now interfering with the wing, but I suspect this will be OK when the wing is sorted

     

    any input appreciated.

     

    i shall put photos in the next post

    cheers

    These last four are the rear damage from the first crash.

    I've been quoted 3,500 from a local cheap shop and as it's tucked away more and sure the kid don't have much money I'm fine with that. In fact the small mark on the near side wing rear wing was done by someone else in a car park!

    Be careful putting a fully Synthetic enging oil into the two older cars ... good chance that it will cause the crankshaft oil seals to start leaking..

     

    I wouldnt recommend anyhing other than Mobile 1 for the newer car. Yes,and as said above use a quality oi filter.


    oil seals might leak eh?

    what’s the rationale behind that Jas?
