From 2002 until 2010, the company produced the 2.2-liter Honda N22A diesel engine, which was fitted to European versions of well-known models like the Accord, Civic, CR-V, or FR-V. This unit has undergone numerous modifications, but they are not very different from one another.
The N16A and N22B internal combustion engines are also part of the N-series.
The engine was mounted on:
- Honda Accord 7 (CL) in 2002 – 2008;
- Honda Civic 8 (FD) in 2006 – 2010;
- Honda CR-V 2 (RD5) in 2004 – 2006;
- Honda CR-V 3 (RE) in 2006 – 2009;
- Honda FR-V 1 (BE) in 2005 – 2009.

Disadvantages of the Honda N22A engine
This diesel engine is notorious for not starting in cold winters due to its dislike of frost.
The timing chain was lengthened and the turbine had limited resources during the initial years of production.
There was even a free replacement company because the exhaust manifold frequently cracks.
In the EGR system, the underwater tube bursts in addition to the valve becoming clogged with soot.
Additionally, the crankshaft damper pulley, the IMRC valve, and the absolute pressure sensor frequently malfunction here.
