I have a 2015 cruze with the 1.8L , I've read so many repair horror stories, and I thought about selling it. It's been great so far ! watching your videos gives me hope that maybe I shouldn't sell it. Looking forward to your 200K video. Best of luck.
I have a 2012 LS, (Opel) 1.8 5M, 102,000. Never ever seeped oil. Replaced MAF sensor @ 90k, coolant hoses (5), serpentine and tensioner, sway bar links a month ago, routinely oil (each 5k) and filters, tires twice. Absolutely nothing else needs done. Alternator, water pump, AC and clutch are untouched originals, factory brakes only half used and alignment is still perfect. Gets 38-40+ mpg and sticks in the curves. Well bolstered seats cause zero discomfort, unlimited mileage. Example: The MAF sensor costs $119 locally. Rockauto had the Bosch (original supplier) for $42. Advise you shop there when possible.
About to pick one up for $1600! Has a misfire, needs new battery, and has dents on drivers and passengers side but not a problem can’t beat a car like this for work at that price. Most commonly seems to be the coil pack that causes the misfire
Yes, I've replaced it twice.. it is a little weird to do it; it's made so you have to take it to the dealer to get it done.. so you could take it in and I think it should be good for it. Sometimes the fluid gets so bad it's better not to replace it but at 96K i don't think that's the case.
Bought brand new 15 miles on it 2014 Chevy sonic lt has 135k miles was in limp mode replaced fuse box on battery and the engine intake manifold arm was broke so replaced whole manifold whole time code U0101 lost communication with TCM was coming up TCM was $800 for part alone so got a used transmission with 53k miles on it for $400 and shop gave me a deal of $250 to install transmission
I recently bought a sonic LT 2014 with 95k miles passed smog passed everything drives smooth , any pointers in what I should do to it as I recently bought it
@@vanpocalypse3529I hit 100k miles , only problem was the wire into the battery terminal was loose I had to put electrical tape and zip ties but I was wondering when you think I should replace the belt I drive everyday highway to Lancaster I would not wanna have it become a problem

Thanks!! Yes it's still going strong nearing 160K!! This thing is a beast
Very impressive.

Awesome. Mine is a manual at 110K and I have loved watching your videos to learn about it
COOL! Thanks for the support!
It's gotta be a manual! I'm at 102k. Only had minor issues that never disabled the little beast.

You never had to replace the thermostat housing ? Doing mine now and its a bitch has only 86,000 on it .
I had to replace the thermostat early on.. not sure about housing; I don't remember.. I think it was just the thermostat itself
How about 2013 Sonic lt 1.8?
Have you replaced the transmission fluid? I haven’t had mine replaced and I’m at 96k miles. Afraid to do it and have the transmission act worse.

I have a Chevy trax 2016. When will I start to have major problems?
Hopefully not until over 150K miles at least

I would use it as my daily driver!

@@JuanChavex-gj3dc after 100k you should replace the timing belt as soon as you can.. it will probably be okay until 150K but not worth chancing it.
