Common problems and easy repairs on a 2006 CR-V

The 2006 Honda CR-V SE is easy to maintain. All of the headlights are accessible by simply reaching behind their bulb housing, allowing for reliable bulb changes whenever necessary. Accessing the battery isn’t a problem, as it has relatively open access to both its terminals and bracket. The spare tire and jack kit are easy to find and remove, which will cut down on the time needed to service a flat.

However, the 2006 Honda CR-V SE has its downsides. The engine air filter is in a cramped location and will require the removal of multiple bolts for access to the filter itself. Checking the engine coolant system with reliability will also be a problem, on account of its obstructed location deep within the engine bay. The center brake light is not an LED bulb, which means it will require more maintenance over time and prove rather tedious to manage.
