- Hey Good People,
This video is a follow up to the diagnostic video I did on this 2013 Chevrolet Cruze which you can check out here : • Chevy Cruze Overheatin...
In this video, I wanted to show you the removal process of the Turbo on the 2013 Chevy Cruze. I had to remove the turbo to replace the turbo cooler lines.
I hope this video helps anyone who may be doing a turbo or turbo related repair on one of these vehicles.
Thanks For Watching,
Your favorite Mechanic, Alex

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME VIDEO !! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH !! I'm 70 years old and can't afford paying big money to a garage. I'm a retired Jet engine mechanic but certainly don't know it all. I VERY MUCH appreciate your video to help people learn the best way to do these jobs. I'm at the point of removing he Turbo, on my way to the head gasket ......yeah I can see ALLLLL that "fun" up ahead already !! LOL !! I'll get it !! anyways, I said "self, I bet there's a good YOU TUBE Video to help me learn with a little less aggravation" .... and VOILA !! Here you are !! You have a new subscriber ! I truly believe this is the BEST video on "the tube" for this job. Thank You soooo much !! You have a GREAT attitude and would be an EXCELLENT teacher in my opinion. Something you may want to think about down the road !! (as we get older our bones don't move like they used to ....TRUST ME !! LOL !!) Really enjoyed your video and will CERTAINLY come visit you again the next time I'm in trouble !! Have a GREAT DAY and thank you once again !!
I’m happy you found this video helpful! This is always my goal when making these videos. I’m more impressed that you’re still rockin and turning wrenches at 70! Come back and see me if you need any help or advice about the job.
@@AlexTheCarDoctor I left a comment please get back to me have a blessed day or night
@@AlexTheCarDoctor hello Alex,I just did this on mine and now I have oil coming out of the cat,I’ve checked the feed line it’s not leaking and I also checked the inside of the turbo and it’s clean too. The only thing that looks like a leak is the oil return line but the bead isn’t dripping. Please help!!!
@@aaronc8303 what did you change exactly
@@AlexTheCarDoctor the whole turbocharger and manifold assembly
Love that you and your wife do this together! You guys are awesome. Thanks for the great video!
I followed after he said “Turbo Piping” lol. I like this mechanic.
Thanks for the video! I got as far as just having the rear coolant line and the rear oil drain bolt left and just couldnt get to them. Yours is the first video I've seen where the catalytic converter was removed and that really opens things up. Thanks!
My pleasure buddy thanks for watching
I would like to say ty to your wife for the dedication to helping these videos better aid us cuz its so hard to hold a camera and take apart these cars. Especially when she is ready to pop.
This job is a 5.
Working a 2018 buick encore now this helps seeing what process needs done to get this pain in the butt out
Thanks it was very informative and love your camera gal. She knew what she was looking at and what to focus on. A lot of mechanics assume the viewers know their parts and what they look like. You pointed them out and explained what it was and what it’s called. Thank you to the both of you! Great teamwork and congratulations on your new addition to your family
Thank you so much 😊
I'm a mobile mechanic..I'm working on a 2016 Chevrolet Trax Lt 1.4 turbo..I like to say u r very thourgh, YOU HELP ME ALOT , THANK YOU, BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS
Thanks brother I pray your business grow and prosper buddy
Thank you for not only showing me how to replace this, but also for teaching me! You are a God send... this would have cost me 2000.00 for a mechanic to replace and I replaced it for only the cost of the parts. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
My pleasure buddy it makes me very happy that I can help people out with my video.that is my main Goal For my RUclips channel is to help people save money and not get ripped off by teaching people about this industry. Thanks for the support
@Alex, The Car Doctor well, i am actually a girl. I have been teaching myself how to fix our issues with our vehicles. It has saved my husband and i A LOT of money. So very grateful 🙏
It’s great to see a woman that’s into fixing cars it’s a rare thing these days. Woman or dude, I think buddy is appropriate for both lol what do you think? I pray you and your husband lots of success and happiness for many years to come. Me and my wife have been together for 15 years.
Great job on the video. Lots of car mechanic videos do not take the time to explain everything, but this is well done!!!
Thanks buddy I do my best
@@AlexTheCarDoctor I'm about to replace the catalytic converter on my 2015 Chevy Cruze should I buy one with two gaskets or should I just get one with one gasket
@@terrythepion6181 I thought they came with both gasket.yes definitely get both
Informative and thorough, your work deserves more attention.
When I did this job on a 2011 Cruze, I didn't take the cat out. It was enough just to remove the bolt on the bracket holding it to the engine, that allowed enough wiggle to pop it off the downpipe.
I like how you kept the budget down by only replacing the parts that were broken. If your fixing your car on a budget or just getting in to doing your own auto work, keep in mind that OEM parts are expensive and not always necessary. Sometimes, they're not even the best quality option. Most of the time, a third party option from Korea or China will do the job just fine. This does not apply to the cheapest knockoff of the most complicated engine parts, but generally: if it's on Rock Auto or being sold at NAPA, it will be good enough to last until you upgrade your ride. I've ran multiple third-party water pumps, belts, coils, and even engine bearings for 5+ years, until I have sold the car.
But use this guy to tell you how to install it.
Thanks for watching buddy and your feedback I’m glad you enjoyed my video
In case of a turbo replacement just replace the whole thing assembly everything...
It's not that expensive
This guy is a 10/10 mechanic 👍.
Retired Peugeot and european car mechanic, I like seeing the attention to detail, treat the car as if your family was going to use it, 15 years my own shop, word of mouth and complimentary blue notepads was my advertisement, D.mg
If in the 100k mile range think I would replace all weak parts and save money and time in the long run. Thank you very much for this. God bless you and your wife.
You helped e remove my rear end out of my 2013 yukon. The least i could do is comment and subscribe
Thanks brother
What a awesome job. Thanks for the information. I'm getting the same thing done in a few weeks. Now I have first hand knowledge of what being done.
Thanks buddy I’m glad you enjoyed my video. I pray everything turns out in your favor with the up coming job
Great details Alex, the cat removal was what I needed to make it doable for me, well done!
Keep the videos coming, you good at it!
Wow what a great detailed video! I didn't even know there was another cooler line on that turbo! So glad I looked this up first! Thanks bro!
I rarely comment, but I think you did a great job and it really helped me. The quality of the video was very high which made a big difference for me. Thank your wife!
Thanks for the feedback buddy I’m glad Me and my wife was able to help
I will rateyou number one in videos you are very very professional in explaining everything that you're doing keep providing your videos
Thanks buddy your input means a lot
I love how you don't just assume everybody has 10k worth of tools at home. Thanks for the video!
Because there was a time where I didn’t have many tools either so I understand. Thanks for watching 🤗
Great video , most respectable , GOD bless you & your patient wife!! THANKS!!!!!!!😃😃😃😃😃
Better than the average mechanic video.
Listen thank you little brother I’m enjoying seeing this video I learned a lot of this type of car it looks like my 2015 Malibu
Alex you are are going to take over the world
I won’t to be the best automotive teacher on RUclips, thanks brother
This video just saved me so many cuss words on the bottom manifold bolts great video!
My pleasure buddy I’m glad I was able to help you out with my video
this is a great video i like how you show the difficult parts because no job seems to be cut and dry the other videos on this skip the hard parts thanks man gonna give it a go sunday ill check back
Checking back in.. finished install thanks to the video and its running alot better. The old turbo housing was cracked right by the flap. Hardest part was reinstalling the 17mm lower coolant line due to it being floppy but I ended up catching a couple threads and getting it back in.
I want to thank you for your detailed video it was really helpful I viewed 2 before I watched yours and it did not show how to remove the turbo coolant line and the oil returns line once again thank you and your wife
Im fixing to drop the cat and see if i can replace the coolant return line without pulling the turbo. Its on a 2015 encore. Ill let ya knkw if it works or not. Ive been a mechanic 26 years and am replacing the line after hours for friend. Ive put on dozens of those turbos but im still glad ifound this video first. Thanks brother.
Great video, one of the best step by step video I have seen!! Thank you
Tremendous Alex. Thank you for this has been a great service to me. Bless you and your family. liked and subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
i have this same exact car, the year, color, and everything lol... I'm glad I watched this video... I'm replacing the turbo tomorrow and I will use this as a reference.. I had two bolts snap on my catalytic converter lol ... I had to drill two holes through it .... Yikes... I will use this video as a reference tomorrow... Thanks for all the detail and sweating for us! Congrats on your baby! Tell your wife I said thanks for holding the camera so well
Thanks for the support buddy. I will let my wife know. Let me know how it turns out!
@@AlexTheCarDoctor So far so good kinda! The good news is my car runs a whole lot better with no codes but the bad news is i have a small oil leak so I will be putting it up on the ramps again lol yay!
@@DJRussellBrian I hope it’s a easy fix. Maybe a loose bolt
First time watching your videos. First of all Congrats on the baby! Video was great, your easy to follow and give out lots of info without going overboard. Can't wait to see to see the next one.
Thank you Alex you save me a headache. I was going to take the full coolant line off but after realizing it takes time I decided to simply just replace the rubber hose and the clamps for now.
That’s what i did, vs removing and replacing the entire line. Did you install the heat shield back over the rubber line? And have you had any trouble with it since replacing only the rubber line?
I play that game EVERY TIME! :D I wondered if I was the only one lol
I’m not alone 😀
I'm about to tackle this job on my wife's car. Giving the nice underboost code. Thanks for the info! Very informative and the tips help. Some ppl skim over and what you described is needed. Thanks a bunch!
Glad to help and Good luck!
Good content bro I like how you break everything down. It helps. This job might be too big for me though lol
You’re a life saver with this video 🙏🏾
I’m glad you enjoyed my video brother. Thanks for watching
Great vid, tips and well explained. About to tackle an oil cooler return hose repair so I'm trying to learn about everything in that area.
Thanks for watching I’m glad you enjoyed my video
Thanks for the tutorial and here's to a healthy new lady or gentleman in the world.
Very well done video! Replacing the turbo on a Buick Encore currently.
Great job made it look alot more doable
Thanks for watching
Such a great video man!!! Best one i have found yet. Thank you my friend. I hope your baby is doing great and the wifey is as well.
Thanks so much. They are doing alright. Baby almost 2 years old now. Time flies 😩
I like your style great videos I'm a retired tech we never stop learning im subscribed and will be watching thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thanks for watching! 😎
Really awesome video! Your step by step instructions are very easy to follow.
Glad to hear that. I try to make it easy for you guys.
Very Helpful! I need to replace my oil cooler and will have to take all that apart to get to it. Looking forward to seeing more of your content!
Thanks for watching! I’m gonna keep ‘em coming for ya! 💪🏽
@rellison68 how did the work go for you. I'm currently doing the oil cooler job as well. I seen some videos that say to remove the little black tab on the oil cooler for the turbo feed line. What did you end up doing to that.
@AlexTheCarDoctor awesome videos Sir. Any take on the above comment?
@@louieaguilar1221 I ended up trading the car in. I couldn't find the time or place to do the job. Good luck to you!
This vid is perfect Alex. Kudos to both you and your wife. The camera work is awesome and your walk through as well. Now I have to check if you have one for the cylinder head removal! Cheers :)
Hey there I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Sorry at this time there’s no cylinder head removal videos.
You really do great videos, it really helped me out
Thanks brother.It makes me happy that people are leaning from my videos
Excellent video, thank you
Removed a couple things that didn't need to but great video anyway.
I mainly wanted to demonstrate removing the turbo charger and the process I know I didn’t have to takeoff certain things to get to the hoses. Thanks for watching buddy and the support
Nicely done, going to do this job this weekend. Thank you!
I'am Your Newest Subscriber Great Videos
You're a great teacher! Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Love your videos, very informative
Glad you like them!
It was fun to watch, you gave us the opportunity to see how to get at the tuff bolts and what to be careful with.
I’m glad you enjoyed my video buddy. Thanks for watching
Extremely helpful video!
Eight bolt/stud assembly hold the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head. And it takes some patience to remove them.
I own an opel astra j 1.4 turbo 140 ps, same engine same problems....fine business man
Thanks buddy. I did not know that, thinking about it I never worked on an opel but I do know this GM sourcing some of their engines from other countries
Thank you Alex you helped a lot!!
You're welcome! Glad it helped!
Thank you for showing this!
Thanks for watching
rear oil drain is a pain, i used a 17 socket on the otherside of that rear coolant line to detach it from the engine, i got to it by going above the serpentine from the side
I just replaced my turbo on the 2014 Cruze. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time in case of bolts breaking off. Even replace all connections.
Good video. I dont have time to do this nor the patience! I just wanted to see why the dealership was charging 3k for this job.
Great video, very helpful!
My pleasure
I certainly could have used these on an intake i installed last week. The job has been a little bit of a nightmare. The car had 7 codes. I had to change intake manifold, valve cover, pcv bypass, map sensor, all vacuum tubes. I got rid of all but one code P2261. I would have to remove the intake manifold again, ugg
Thank great walk through
My pleasure buddy thanks for watching
If there were some hair around it you could find them holes better. 🤣 I love the channel!
😂🤣😂 that’s when I switch over to the love Dr 😉
Awesome work great content amigo. I got to change mine
Thank you!
That E10, the 'E' stands for "External" and it's a torx, more accurately, an External Torx. Amazon has some affordable sets of Torx, and E-Torx sets for under $20.
Good work
The torque 45s on mine all stripped. Used a brand new bit the correct size and everything. All stripped. It's getting towed to a shop.
On my own personal cars, I don't put those plastic panels back on when I have to remove them. Up north, they trap the salt and keep me from rinsing the bottom of the car. So it's a lot easier to rinse the salt if they aren't there and obviously to reach everything to fix it.
That’s good thanking
Engineered to fail let oil leak will help keep uder carrig from rusting when up norh just run fast so will blow and lube bottom of car
Great job
I think the video was great thanks brother.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks @Alex for the great video. I have a coolant leak from a car very similar to this, coming from one of the lines attached to the turbo. My mechanic told me that it's best to replace the lines as well as the turbo itself just to make sure that the leak is fixed. Do you think it's necessary to replace the turbo as well? I want to see whether I can save some bucks by using the same turbo. Thanks again.
Great video. I always try to guess the nut or bolt Size too! 😂😂😂
It’s fun and helps pass the time lol
Thank you for the video.
Thank you, I have never had a car with a turbo, I may one day and just wanted to see what was involved.
@user-sp7kt7vw7w this isn't the turbo car you want I promise. You don't even know ow it's there.
Thank you very much for that awesome video. It made this repair much easier for me. I do have one question though, what brand of parts did you use?? I used Zonfant, which I bought from Amazon. About 1 month after i did the repair one of the coolant lines on the turbo is leaking due to a faulty part. So Im going to take it all back apart and replace it again. Im not very impressed with the Zonfant brand. Is GM Parts the best for this, or am I just paying more for the name? Any info. you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brian
I've changed a bunch of these they are known for cracking as far as the turbos
Great video! How many hours would you charge for replacing these cooling lines under the turbo?
Many thanks!
Did you make a video on how to fix the broken stud on the cat?
I have the same leak on my 2014, this seems to be a common problem on the Chevy Cruze another terrible set up, wondering how you would of replaced with a hose so you don't have to tear down so far to fix?
and would it be a fix? I bought the new part and am somewhat mechanical inclined but not happy about the teat down that fat for one little line,and getting it back together with no issues, your video is excellent and your proper repair is great.
Thanks for the support and feedback.I know this that first line on the top is not hard to change but the one under your turbo that’s the tough one to get to if you decide to leave the turbo on its just easier to remove the turbo you can do it buddy just take your time and soak your bolts in penetrating oil 2hr before you start
Where you able to replace the hose without the full tear down?
I do the same thing with the bolt head size 🤣
Love it
@AlexTheCarDoctor - please give me a link to find the best exhaust header studs and nuts. It seems there all kinds of them and none of them appear remotely like tge ones on our vehicles.
Your wife is an ANGEL, and how lucky you are, and a picture of the child would be great.
And of course thank you so much. Love your brother Freddy
My step daughters Cruze needs just what you showed. You both are angels, salt of the earth.
Thanks for your kind words. I recommend the dealership for those studs or you can try the brand ARP.she is almost 3 now and is a handful
I work for GM and you really dont need to remove the turbocharger to replace the lines. But i love what you are doing keep up the good work.
You are absolutely RIGHT! I just thought I would tackle to video ideas at once. In case someone wanted to know how to remove the turbo. Thanks so much for watching! Shout out to you my fellow mechanic brother. 👨🏽🔧
If you don't take the turbo off, how difficult is it to replaced on the coolant line? And would you need to replace the oil too?
@@JohnDavis1972 hey there I would say it would be pretty difficult very tight space but it can be done I just find it easier to take off the turbo to replace them. you don’t have to change out the oil if you don’t want to
just watched your video very informative, can the coolant line #55567067 be replaced without removing the entire turbo? can it be done by removing the cat. converter only? (not a mechanic looking to possibly save cost)
Thank you sir
My pleasure buddy
I got this same problem. My turbo failed and I had an unknown coolant leak for months.
Good video sir.
Nice video
Thanks 🙏🏽
I'm going to have to do that to replace the oil line on the oil çooler. I done replace the oil çooler line to the turbo.but still got oil leak. So I will have to remove turbo on my wife's car. O that's a nice jaugwire, I replaced the motor one one.
Thx Alex for this video and ur patient,how much it cost to fix turbo on Chevy Cruz 2012?
Thanks for watching buddy. If I remember correctly I think it was between 300$ to 500$
You have a great wife. Not a lot of women would be in the shop with their man.
It is sooooooo much easier to just remove the catalytic converter and egr tune and replace the line. 2.5 hour job done in 1. Still have to take the heat shield off the turbo but that's it, the rest of that was unnecessary. I'm sure you figured that out by now though lol
Hey there buddy yeah I know it was unnecessary to take the turbo off to change the cooler lines but I figured it would be a good opportunity to show people how to remove the turbo that’s why I label the video turbo removal process. Thanks for watching buddy
Could there be pressure in the cooling system due to the turbine even though the engine head is good
Mines not the fitting. It's at the distribution block behind that, where it goes into the block.
I know I done to tubos on curses and it's some what tryin for me but I got it in two days but the 2 cruse I done it I one day and it was easy
you should plug the turbo air intake with a rag
I only plug things if I’m leaving the job for a few hr
@@AlexTheCarDoctor a screw or a nut could fall into the compressor impeller while you are working. Tank you for the video
Alex is there a way to see where that leak came from near the the turbo by visual inspection? I know it was covered by the heat shield. I had my coolant reservoir replaced because it was a leak and 2 hoses because of coolant damage because the hose was soft. The shop did the work. Put pressure through the system before to check for leaks and and after when the work was done to check for leaks. I left and 9 days later same issue. Come to find out there was a secondary leak from rusted pipes from coolant line going to the turbo. In your opinion if you did the work on the reservoir and 2 hoses wouldn't you check other lines leading from or associated with the coolant just to make sure there isnt any issues so you might want to inform the customer? Thanks. Oh I have a 2012 Chevy Cruz Eco with 116k miles.
They definitely should’ve looked over the whole cooling system for you for potential future failures,I don’t see why not it benefits both you and the shop if they find something like a rusted coolant parts
Or any other problem,at my shop I provide free inspections
I just replaced the coolant reservoir on a 2012 Cruze a few months ago. It was definitely cracked and leaking. Now it's back in our shop, came in after overheating. Coolant was low. I filled it and pressure tested again. No leaks, no pressure drop.
Sat on the lift under pressure for 30 minutes before I got drips. If you pull the tube the leak goes away. Not an obvious leak and sometimes doesn't leak depending on how it's positioned. Just poor design by GM.
If there was any rusted coolant lines I would most definitely let the customer know . You can easily see rust on the outer lines but I do know sometimes the outer lines will look fine and it will rust from the inside out that you can’t really detect. Thanks for watching buddy
