Wanted to touch back with you, hope you're doing well, I actually got into a Buick Encore directly behind the Cruze I did. Basically same deal, had to drop the turbo from the bottom, basically took out the front cat, the tricky bolt everyone complains. If you can get the 17 passenger side. Bc of the offset I used an 18mm and where it pushes up against the arm in front of the bolt hole for the coolant return, it creates a solid bite. I did it solo but some help with the turbo going back up from the bottom would be help I was lucky I lined up on the manifold studs before my arms gave out.
There's nothing wrong with it if it lasts and does its job. I actually bought the new hart tools they have at walmart. For someone that's just starting out, these are perfect tools.
Another great video to help people out. Good idea about the cap full of oil before putting on the oil feed pipe. I have seen them plugged solid before and cook the turbo especially on poorly maintained engines. I would advise anyone doing this job to replace all the lines anyway but bare minimum replace the oil feed pipe.
@@mikekotarba5828nope, this was a poor design on gm’s part The 1.4 I had a 2014 Cruze rs And had to replace turbo also Didn’t even have 50,000 miles, sold to carvana after replacing turbo cause other issues arised 😩
There's a bracket on the catalytic converter underneath the car that you can loosen that will help with separating and connecting the turbo's outlet to the catalytic converter. You'll have to get underneath the car in order to loosen the bracket though
Great work, my 2015 with about 250 k is still good but I did have a turbo error code 2 years ago that never came back. I asked the dealer how much to do the Turno and they quoted $2800. I can’t believe that part melted FFS. I’ll have to inspect mine.
Nice job brother I'm willing to bet that plastic piece on that line broke causing that turbo to fail another bad life decision GM made lol moving on up.
You ever hear of to much vacuum? I have done the turbo and valve cover Vic of the pvc. I am at a loss. There is so much vacuum that if you have the oil cap and dip stick on the motor waters to stop.
Those plastic turbo oil return lines are complete dookie. I bought a Cruze and I have to do a clutch on it, while I have the engine out of the car, I’m converting the plastic parts to metal and doing some mild overhauling. Thank you for your service!
Ive always had issues with the oil feed and return lines on them and also the linkage that is connected to the waste gate has a clip that fails. The turbo will be goid but the waste gate thats electronic on these cant work because the linkage is loose as hell. Just my experience.
… Good video Dude… Hey it would be awesome to include the start up on a vehicle after making a repair like this.. I think everyone enjoys and gets some satisfaction with you when the job is done and we get to see the complete repair and results 👍… we worked too hard here w you not to show us the start up lol… I do enjoy these videos regardless.. Being a mechanic is a hard job, especially over the span of a full time career, And Especially if you are a Roadside Technician.. It beats the shit out of you, and dealing with the environment plus the weather sure doesn’t help… It’s never boring and you never know who you’re gonna meet next lol.. definitely more exciting than not!!.. Keep Wrenchn’ 👍🇺🇸
I actually love them. I was Gifted them from one of my subscribers. Sometimes we people get new tools or have more them 1 they will send to me and I use every single one of them. This was like 18 months ago and I use them everyday without fail
Have you worked on a chevy cruze diesel? I need a oil change and fuel filter i have the oil and filter I'll just need to get the fuel filter if you can do it
Hey man do you just go into each job with some general idea of what to do and figure it out or do you have to spend time reading manufacturers manuals to follow steps and things like that beforehand?
All depends but most jobs I havr to do a diagnosis first and figure it out from there but yes alot of research because As a Mobile Mechanic I work on all cars all trucks all atvs hell even lawn mowers
@@semperfimechanic good to know. I’m starting to do my own mechanic work so I came across your videos, now I’m thinking I can do some jobs as a mobile mechanic. I figure I’ll start small like oil changes, air filters, headlights, windows etc. & build up my confidence & tool kit. Thanks for the inspiration dawg. Been watching a lot of different channels but you easily the dopest tech out here. Big ups
@jordan4315 brother just start out small. Most are starters, alternators, batteries, brakes and then start learning how to diganose a no start condition
Just because you're a mobile mechanic doesn't mean you should "go through tools"...been doing this for 15 plus years, alot of mobile stuff too, and ive never once ruined a tool. I dont use electric tools in inclement weather. As a Cruze owner and enthusiast, i hope this had codes directly corresponding to the turbo, otherwise it was a waste of money. my cruze has 211k and counting and has been one of the most reliable cars ive ever owned. And ive bought and sold over 200 cars. Change the oil with 5-30 dexos and an ac Delco filter every 3k miles and its good. Leaks oil but i dont care.
No brother we didnt diagnosis The turbo wasnt broken inside. Metal didnt fall out. None of the hose wasnt broken off from being melted. I just guessed and what kind of Mechanic would say the love the chevy cruze. That car is a piece of shit and is always on top 10 worst cars chevy ever made
@@semperfimechanic so why did you replace the turbo then? They don't just fail with no codes. And believe whatever you want, the reason cars get bad reps is because people don't know how to properly take care of shit. You never follow the oil life monitor or what the manufacturer says. I've put over 11k miles on my Cruze since November and it's given me ZERO issues... because I've taken care of it. I've replaced the typical failure items before they fail so I don't have to worry about it. I've owned pretty much every brand besides exotic cars and it's just as reliable as any Honda and Toyota and Nissan I've owned. People say it's junk because they don't maintain it properly...that's the reason most good cars get bad reps... something like Subaru though, they blow head gaskets even if maintained properly.
@@thagerdorn2009 you must have a unicorn ive owned 2 cruzes doing oil changes full synthetic every 3k and all other maintenance done at the dealer and i can say with confidence i ahould have bought a toyota.

Hi Thomas is the GM turbo engine any better found in equinox or terrain?

Greetings from across The Pond.
Great video! Got the same engine in a different car. So this was very informative.
My power ratchet is probably the best tool I've ever brought
I agree. I use that tool more than any other one
Appreciate you my guy 💪🏾 much needed lesson! You just don’t know the headache you saving somebody get this man his own shop immediately
Man, thank you. Gonna be doing this in a week here.
How'd it go for ya? About to attempt this myself
Great job brother Thanks for the lesson
Thanks boss means alot

There's a bracket on the catalytic converter underneath the car that you can loosen that will help with separating and connecting the turbo's outlet to the catalytic converter. You'll have to get underneath the car in order to loosen the bracket though
That customer got the self lubricating model.

Great job
Oh thats an earlier model. Its set up like B.M.W. that linkage goes to a flap valve that fails in that intake.
Nice job brother I'm willing to bet that plastic piece on that line broke causing that turbo to fail another bad life decision GM made lol moving on up.
Your exactly right my friend

DUMB QUESTION, Do I need to drain coolant and oil for this!?
Thanks !
Nah
Serious question, could I install that coolant line directly to engine then to turbo?
SOS
Kia and Hyundai are well known for that issue as well.
I will never by a gasoline engine turbo. Only turbo I would buy would be a beefy diesel.
Amen
Yep im a chevy guy and can’t believe you already have to replace the turdbo😂😂
I drive a chevy truck and I can believe it, lol
Ive always had issues with the oil feed and return lines on them and also the linkage that is connected to the waste gate has a clip that fails. The turbo will be goid but the waste gate thats electronic on these cant work because the linkage is loose as hell. Just my experience.
I'm willing to bet that engine has been rebuilt or replaced. Especially having a turbo causing it to fail prematurely
Around how much does this cost to do ? Labor, parts ?
BOYS AND GIRLS ... I digress with such a heavy mention of men and boys yet they're female mechanics out there that love ya too ~!
Hey brotha, so process is the same for a 16 Chevy trax? also has a 1.4 ecotec
Is it the same process for chevy Malibu?

2016 is not even that old. How many miles for the turbo to die?
About 110,000. These Cruzes have alot of turbo issues
Wow, here in Florida the turbo will cook even faster with the heat.@@semperfimechanic
Guarantee the oil wasn't changed every 5k
