SOLO, KOMPAS.com - Used Honda HR-V remains one of the favourite SUVs\nin the used-car market, thanks to its modern design, comfortable cabin,\nand relatively efficient fuel consumption. In addition, the car is also\nknown to be quite sturdy for daily use. However, as with most used cars,\nthere are several faults or complaints that are fairly common, depending\non the production year and the previous usage history.<\/p>\n
Iwan from the Iwan Motor Solo workshop said that, in general, used\nHonda HR-Vs are comfortable for daily use and have few severe problems\nif they are regularly maintained.<\/p>\n
One of the most frequent issues is in the undercarriage. Components\nsuch as bushings, shock absorbers, stabiliser links, and tie rods\nusually wear out with age. As a result, noises may be heard when the car\ngoes over rough roads or speed bumps. For a suspension repair, estimates\nrange from Rp 1 million to Rp 5 million depending on the component\nreplaced and whether original or aftermarket parts are chosen.<\/p>\n
In addition, the CVT transmission also requires particular attention.\nAccording to Iwan, problems typically arise if the previous owner rarely\nchanges the CVT oil regularly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the previous owner rarely changes the CVT oil, symptoms such as\nsluggishness, vibration, or clunking can occasionally occur,\u201d said\nIwan.<\/p>\n
For light remedies such as CVT oil flushing, the cost is around Rp 2\nmillion. However, if the damage is serious and the transmission needs an\noverhaul, costs can rise to Rp 5 million to Rp 10 million.<\/p>\n
\u201cRack steering is quite common on several HR-V units, especially with\nuse on rough roads. The repair estimate is around Rp 2 million to Rp 5\nmillion depending on the condition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
On the comfort side, the air conditioning also needs to be checked\nbefore purchase. Common problems typically stem from a dirty evaporator,\na faulty magnetic clutch, or a weakening compressor. AC repair costs\nvary quite a bit, ranging from hundreds of thousands of rupiah to\nseveral million rupiah depending on the level of damage.<\/p>\n
In addition to mechanical issues, prospective buyers are advised to\ninspect the interior and electrical system. \u201cPay attention to the audio\nbuttons, head unit, reversing camera, and sensors because there can be\nissues due to age or previous flood damage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Therefore, before buying a used Honda HR-V, it is advisable to\nconduct a thorough inspection to avoid large repair costs later on.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/understanding-the-common-problems-of-a-used-honda-hr-v-and-their-estimated-repair-costs-1779542840", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
