You guys are truly the best! I have a Chevy Cruze 2015 that I bought used 3 years ago and I've had so many stupid little things go wrong with it. Your vidoes have helped me out immensely and have saved me hundreds of dollars!! Very well explained and very comprehensive. I just did this particular thermostat replacement and the whole process went very well. Can't thank you guys enough!!
Is there a gasket that goes to the metal pipe that connects under the thermostat itself? I believe it goes to the block. I bolted my new one up and it was leaking everywhere !
Question! First off, love your videos. I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze LS 1.8 and you videos are extremely informative and helpful. I just replaced my thermostat and thermostat housing (all metal Dorman product) and I also replaced my throttle body heater inlet pipe (as it broke when I replaced the thermostat and housing). When I start my car and drive, the engine temperature gauge doesn't register and my radiator fan is often running on high. It appears I am still leaking coolant out of the bottom passenger side of my radiator. The coolant leak is not extreme, I can drive a few hours before my coolant gets too low. I am concerned about this and my temperature gauge not registering. Any suggestions?
Did you plug the thermostat temp sensor plug back in? Was their actually a sensor to plug into perhaps you needed to put the one from the old component in? You will need to test it using a multimeter RUclips "How to test thermostat temp sensor" With the radiator leak you need to replace the radiator or your engine will eventually overheat and be gone.
Idk who will see this but, if your Cruze doesn’t register your temperature with antifreeze leaking out the right side, there’s a temperature sensor on the hose that connects to your radiator/waterpump. I replaced that and it worked, but ultimately it was a sign that the water pump in the car is failing. I changed my thermostat 2x before we figured it out
As always great video. Do you ever change the clamps to the screw to tighten type to make those hoses easier to put on and off? Those hoses on the back were really a pain to get to with pliars.
Hi, thanks for share this video, it has been to helpfull, just one cuestion, Is It any diference between the thermostat AND thermostat housing of a Cruze 1.6l and 1.8? AND if It Is, what whappen if you put one of the 1.8 to a 1.6 engine?
10/11/2021 I had a P0128 code on my 2016 Chevrolet Cruz (like this one). I replaced the sensor on the thermostat and it was ok until 3 days later the code came back. I then replaced the whole thermostat housing (like in the video) and the code is gone and car works good so far. It seems the thermostat housing is caused a lot of problems. I replaced it with a plastic one and works better (not sure why) Recommendations: Follow the video exactly and please!!! CHANGE THE GASKET ON THE LOWER TUBE (bottom of the thermostat) If you do not your coolant will leak tiny amounts like mine and I had to do these steps all over again.
What is the hose/clip that attaches to the top of the thermostat housing? I have a leak there, but am not sure what that plastic clip/hose would be called in a parts diagram.
If i could make a suggestion: in the description in order of use name/ size the tool used. As a consumer I would purchase these tools from your store if listed, thanks
Great video but my god do chevys need alot of maintenance. I have a honda and my wife has a chevy. Ive had to do stuff like this almost every month for failed parts. For my honda i have only 1 major issue which was my starter at around 140k miles.
This is a great video and it saved me about $400. Thank you so much. Only issue I have is when I installed the new thermostat it was leaking so I went back in and tightened the bolts but the last one broke off. (bottom right which attaches the thermostat to the housing) To my surprise its holding and no longer leaking. In your opinion should I do something about this? And if so would you get a new bolt and try to save the housing or should I just spend a $100 and get a whole new housing unit?
Quick question hoping you guys can help answer. I know you have to drain the coolant to replace the thermostat and housing, but do you have to bleed the coolant as well? And if you do have to, are you supposed to do it before draining the coolant. Might seem obvious just want to cover all bases before I have it all apart. Thanks!
@@BorkChopGaming the poster of this video has a video about purging the coolant line. Be careful with the thermostat housing replacement. Looks like he has a holden cruze. The pipe that goes into the oil cooler is different. Loose that first witch he didn't show. Try to leave that pipe alone and dont pull it out. Then replace the housing. If that pipe is out one of two things happen after. 1 replace the outer o-ring and use a camera or mirror to put it back. Or 2 pull the exhaust manifold and replace the exhaust manifold gasket with proper torque spec as well as step 1. Just trying to help.
@@BorkChopGaming pause the video at 11:13. That pipe that he has his pointer finger on is the oil cooler inlet. Look at your new housing. Try not to move That as small as possible. Lose the front smaller bolts first if you have to directly under the thermostat. If you don't have to then don't lose those.
Ouch, my ears!! Upon first start of this video can you turn down the volume a bit so as to not deafen those poor people that might have a headset turned up while loading? Great information and video, just bad first impression.
السلام عليكم .. اللي عنده كروز ويعاني من الحرارة توصل معه إلى ١١٠ او ١١٢ على برنامج الفحص او الموية تغلي دايم وغيرت كل شيء وما تحصل لها سبب الحل ياطوال الأعمار بلف الحرارة الوكالة يفتح دايم متأخر ويسبب مشاكل كثيره منها الحرارة وتهريبات الماء والزيت بالصوف وغيرها والمشكله لا يوجد بلف رياضي مخصص بالسوق للكروز مثل اليوكن والسيرا الحل ان تقص لفه من لفات البلف نفسة حيث تقص من اللفات الكبيرة فقط بتنزل مع الحرارة من ١١٠ وبتصير في نطاق المتعارف علية في تويوتا وهونداي من ٨٦ الى ٩٢ بالكثير واتمنى لكم التوفيق وشكرااا
I'll tell you what that car is practically brand new time used it all to work use put a new timing belt and everything on that murder it's probably like properly like a brand new motor

Did you have to “reprogram” it after replacing? My dealer is telling me they have to do that and want to charge $1k. Thinking of doing it myself
@@kyotodreams3306 Reprogram?? No there's no "reprogramming" involved in this installation at all. They're trying to rip you off...big time.
A professional mechanic, ring, gold watch and of course without gloves.
Ron Key Hahahaha butchers
Give him a chance
Love your videos. You really helped me a lot replacing a head gasket on my Son's Elantra in 2020. Now the exact video I need for a Sonic thermostat.
You guys are the best, I always look for your channel for solutions, thanks
Is there a gasket that goes to the metal pipe that connects under the thermostat itself? I believe it goes to the block. I bolted my new one up and it was leaking everywhere !
Thank you. Main thing I needed to know was, "reverse torq 10" thank you again. Cruze nation Cruze on!!!
You guys tickle me. You are great!! You have definitely saved me some money.

With the radiator leak you need to replace the radiator or your engine will eventually overheat and be gone.
i’m going through this right now. what worked for you?
For coolant leak, it's possible that it's your water pump
Idk who will see this but, if your Cruze doesn’t register your temperature with antifreeze leaking out the right side, there’s a temperature sensor on the hose that connects to your radiator/waterpump. I replaced that and it worked, but ultimately it was a sign that the water pump in the car is failing. I changed my thermostat 2x before we figured it out

same . i did that when i replaced the housing. Alot easier now if i ever have to do the work again.
Hi, thanks for share this video, it has been to helpfull, just one cuestion, Is It any diference between the thermostat AND thermostat housing of a Cruze 1.6l and 1.8? AND if It Is, what whappen if you put one of the 1.8 to a 1.6 engine?
Did you find any difference?
Can you reply with what video i should watch to bleed my coolant before removing the thermostat/ housing?
Your video saved me 300$$$$ Thank you so much !!!
Excellent video Thank you
What is the outlet on the bottom that has the push in snap connector, the circular outlet? My car is leaking from there 😢
Should any lubrication, such as silicone grease, be added to rubber gasket before attaching the new housing?
i did.
Hey was wondering what seals the oil cooler pipe to the front of the thermostat, have coolant leak where they bolt together
Did you ever get this figured out? Same issue
thank you so much for the video. one quick question, what is that first hose called you disconnected on the housing in the beginning.
My car thermostat needle stays on cold and my ac is blowing warm air. Could it be the thermostat housing? We already replaced both sensors
Check the coolant level
10/11/2021
I had a P0128 code on my 2016 Chevrolet Cruz (like this one). I replaced the sensor on the thermostat and it was ok until 3 days later the code came back.
I then replaced the whole thermostat housing (like in the video) and the code is gone and car works good so far. It seems the thermostat housing is caused a lot of problems. I replaced it with a plastic one and works better (not sure why)
Recommendations:
Follow the video exactly and please!!! CHANGE THE GASKET ON THE LOWER TUBE (bottom of the thermostat) If you do not your coolant will leak tiny amounts like mine and I had to do these steps all over again.
is your leak gone? i replaced the entire housing and im noticing i stil have a leak. is it that alluminum tube gasket?
What’s with the gold watch and ring? Any good meckanik would know not to wear that when working on a vehicle.
What is the hose/clip that attaches to the top of the thermostat housing? I have a leak there, but am not sure what that plastic clip/hose would be called in a parts diagram.
Did you ever find out what it's called? Same problem here.
I am also trying to figure this out, I need a new clip and oring.
Found it. Throttle body inlet heater pipe.
@@Garage_Tinkerer changing didn’t stop the leak right, bc mine literally won’t stop
@@jarrelljohnson7345 Same its getting frustrating. i now have a check engine light po420
I really appreciate this channal i just changed my thermostat houseing today with the higher quality 1 my cruze was showing a po599 n it gone
Did you get the aluminum thermostat housing or the black plastic stock housing?
What’s that hose called with the yellow clip
If i could make a suggestion: in the description in order of use name/ size the tool used. As a consumer I would purchase these tools from your store if listed, thanks
The metal pipe that connects to the thermostat housing, it needs an oring that cannot find, would you know the part #?

trade it in before it starts leaking
@@errorsofmodernism9715 thanks for the response, but its been two years and still holding like a champ!

You bleed/burp the air out after

Something I’ve been wondering, what’s the holden barina that’s always next to the Sonics in the description?
Do I have to drain the coolant
What is the name and size of the long bolts?
what are the tools that you used for this?
Should replace this with a Dayco or similar unit that has the metal housing instead of the plastic to avoid future leaks!
What size of the wrench you used to remove that pipe to the water pump?
does the thermostat housing have the sensor in it?
Should you disconnect the battery before doing this job?
Your unplugging sensors couldn't hurt
Will this cost a check engine light?
Yes
Remove ur negative battery cable for 10 m to reset it
Ouch, my ears!! Upon first start of this video can you turn down the volume a bit so as to not deafen those poor people that might have a headset turned up while loading? Great information and video, just bad first impression.
Should I flush coolant first ?
Nice
