Honda CR-V 2007 2.0 i-VTEC Automatic engine R20A
Engine reliability and common problems:
This engine is sensitive to both fuel and oil quality. Using low-grade gasoline can quickly damage the catalytic converter and lead to premature failure of the oxygen sensors.Many Honda owners are annoyed by knocking noises coming from engine. This clicking is typically caused by the canister purge valve and is considered normal. However, the engine may also produce valve noise, especially if valve clearance adjustments haven't been done for a while — a common issue in engines without hydraulic lifters.
Engine mounts and the serpentine belt tensioner have a relatively short lifespan. The tensioner, in particular, often starts making noise before reaching 100,000 km. When it does, replacement is usually the solution.
Because the engine lacks hydraulic lifters, regular valve clearance adjustments are necessary to maintain proper performance and minimize noise.
Vibration is another characteristic. Mild shaking when the engine is cold is typical, but if the vibration becomes excessive, especially when idling, it's recommended to inspect the engine mounts — the left one is often the culprit.
Overall, this engine can last around 270,000 to 450,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
