Honda Car Forum

I'm going to buy 2002 CR-V, 130 000 km on counter.
Seler has just put LPG instalation on. I heard, that LPG isn't good idea for CR-V engine, check engine light lights...

And there is one more thing: car has wide Fulda universal wheels an there is owful noise inside - is this normal?

I check car history by VIN and there is no accidents, but ... there is a little bit difrent color of airbag cover on passenger side.

Please tell me, shoud I buy this car?

Best regards

Depends on what country you are in. Some places LPG is hard to get. Most
places you can't park in parkades. I can't say much about the noise
without more description. If there are engine codes, find out the
numbers. They are very important.

I'd skip that one unless it's a great price.

In Poland there is more small LPG stations than with gasoline because LPG is cheaper,
and there is many cars with LPG, you can park in almost places.

I ask local Honda dealer and he said, that every CR-V with LPG have "check engine" lights.
There is other one 2003 CR-V with 105 000 km on, on local dealer's resell offer in my town.
Today i'll check it.

Price is not bad for me, but it is'n "mega promotion".
