This is super common of chevy cruzes, all mounted components to the engine are pretty much all plastic. There are a few companies making aftermarket replacements for these that are metal instead of plastic.
Holy shi man this wasn’t my problem but seeing this made me realize what the problem was😂😂 the hose right above that with the pin, I put it in..backwards 😬
Absolutely shocked it's lasted THIS long. I've replaced mine 3 times since 2015. Also 3 thermostat housings, the radiator and water pump. LUV 1.4 turbos are total garbage.
@hill_customs6807 the coolants been drained out more times than I can count. Auto Zone universal antifreeze for 9 years and still nothing but problems. In fact it ate another thermostat housing just last Saturday!!
I got $256.in( parts, Tax, Shipping). 3- hoses, Thermostat- German made, Housing and sensor. One “T”- connector w/ 3- hose clamps. Before I install, PLAN TO PAINT,”J.B.Weld (600-degree), 2- part glue for metal over. Dry for 24- hours !!!!
I literally just replaced mines this weekend... its costed me $40 and I did it myself pretty straight forward if youre familiar with working on cars But if not shouldnt be that much
The 1.8 L and 1.4 Turbo: are the LEAKIEST ENGINES, Chevrolet Engineers Designed !!!!!!! I could not find a “metal” housing for that side !!!! So …. When my NEW PLASTIC HOUSING, comes in ? I’m gonna PAINT J.B.Weld all over it, let it dry 24- hours, before I install it !!!!!!!!!!!
Its called the coolant water outlet... I thought it was the thermostat housing as well but the thermostat is located neat the air filter inside your engine bay
@manuelsheehan912 I used pressure tester rented from oreillys. Found leak replaced seals on oil cooler pipes. Now I'm leaking from thermostat housing area. So I've gotta do that now.
I'm pretty certain Chevy Cruze is Spanish for coolant leak.
It's SICK!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 . I'm sooooo tired of my car overheating!!
Sonic too. They designed both engines on a Saturday. THEY GOT DRUNK FRIDAY NIGHT !!!!

Dorman does, order direct from them.
Paint JBWeld over the plastic parts. Dry for 24- hours.

Great now what else it put backwards

Drain all of the orange coolant out and refill with green and it will have less problems..
@hill_customs6807 why is that?
@@daddi04 the orange dexcool is corrosive and it eats plastic and rubber fast..

Depends how you drive it ?
My “12- Sonic 1.4 T, gas car 40-43 MPG AT 70-73 MPH. In 6th gear + cruise.
Name of hose? Is it the water oulet hose?
Better off ordering the Aluminum aftermarket housing with better hose clamps
These cars are so notorious for running incredibly hot
Do you have links for these?
So you got a video of how to replace it?
$20 on rockauto for that whole assembly and the hoses are about 13-20 each not an expensive job at all
I got $256.in( parts, Tax, Shipping).
3- hoses,
Thermostat- German made,
Housing and sensor.
One “T”- connector w/ 3- hose clamps.
Before I install, PLAN TO PAINT,”J.B.Weld (600-degree), 2- part glue for metal over. Dry for 24- hours !!!!
What is the hose please
Radiator hose
Upper radiator hose.
Around 6- Hoses for that car.
Whats the size are the bolts holding the outlet housing? I see there not normal 6 point bolts.
E10 or E12 cant remember.

Use a regular socket, they work fine.
This same thing happened to me this AM. OG part from 2013 it lasted 11.5 yrs and 272,000
Housing from a store-$102.
Rock Auto: $20-$36. Shipping/tax :under $50.
I just replaced mine yesterday. I got charged 320$ total. Idk if thats a good price or not?
About right.
$36. To a $52. Part. Which one ?
Thermostat or Housing Sensor ?
Not difficult to do.
Go online, watch all sorts of videos.
Just fixed mine. It was cracked and broken in the same spot
Easy fix?
What type of hose are you holding in that video?
I need to know the hose too
I need to know what that hose is! I replaced the housing then that hose split on me
Radiator hose
Do you have a video of the fixing
No. These videos are just to show the customers what is wrong with their cars.
About how much would it cost to have an auto shop replace that ?
That would all depend on the hourly shop rate. Diagnosis. Plus like 1.5 Labor and parts. Could be over $400
I literally just replaced mines this weekend... its costed me $40 and I did it myself pretty straight forward if youre familiar with working on cars But if not shouldnt be that much
Bruh, those fools at Flash auto wound up stiffing me for over $1200 when i told them this is all it needed! I'm livid...😤
It's a easy fix get the aluminum part

Coolant water outlet
Mines losing coolant and i cant find the problem.
So what did u do? I can't find my leak either😊

Outlet heater hose CONNECTOR: to 3- hoses ; mine had a hairline crack.
Passenger side of car, where 3 hoses all connect.
