Honest Honda Tech question on CRV code
Okay, I need an honest Honda tech to answer a question. I took in my 4 1/2 year old CRV to the dealer because a low oil light and check engine light came on. This was 2 weeks after they had it to replace a battery and checked the oil. They connected the car to the computer and got a P2646 (Rocker Arm Oil Pressure Switch Circuit Low Voltage found) and checke the oil and they said it was low. So they changed the oil and filled it and charged me $30 for oil change and $102 for the computer. When I said i never have paid for a computer check before, they said it was standard to charge for the computer to clear the codes and fix the problem. I said what problem, you changed the oil and I still have to come back to see if it is leaking somewhere. Nothing was fixed. Is that charge normal?

Diagnostic fee. They checked the oil 2 weeks before and it was fine? Was it due for a change? There is only so many ways you can loose oil. They dont have an idea where it may be coming from? The whole engine top to bottom is clean?

The oil was fine when they checked it two weeks earlier. No, it was not time to change as the Engine Oil Life was at 80%. I don't see any issue with paying for the oil change and adding oil. But, $120 to turn off the check engine light but not say anything is wrong?

$100 in "dealer world" is the going price. But as mega said if they checked the oil or filled it 2 weeks earlier they darn well would have checked for "the leak" this time and tried to charge you to fix it. Something stinks here.

Re: Honest Honda Tech question on CRV code
I was at the dealership once getting a oil change and the sales rep is on the phone telling a customer they have to pay for the tech stripping out the drain bolt and it'll require a oil pan replacement. I'd have went ape **** if that was my car.
