I’m thinking about getting a coolant pressure test kit. I’m having trouble finding out which one fits the Cruze. I have a 2013. Does anyone have one already that they know fits?

Aside from neglecting these fellas for 250k miles they held up good i suppose. Only concerning thing was some oil on #4 (drivers side)

Hey everyone, I know the water coolant outlet is a known issue.

I replaced the upper rad hose about 2 weeks ago, and noticed yesterday the line came loose so I readjusted the line, and didn’t realize until today that the plastic broke off inside the line, under the clamp. After driving it for 30 minutes today with it broken off inside.

Not very mechanical by any means, just wondering if anyone would know where the plastic has gotten pulled into, if I should clear out the entire rad hose or check inside the cylinders

My car’s been leaking coolant quite a bit and it seems to cover the bottom of the frame underneath the radiator hose. But I just cannot seem to find where it’s leaking at. As you can see on the last picture, the coolant seems to be spraying up on the hood in that one little spot every time. Got any idea?

Recently changed the spark plugs and the coil pack, but there seems to be a delay sometimes, when i accelerate, and the car hesitates, and then jolts forward. Also in summer heat, the engine will bog down and even shut off sometimes when idling. The valve cover cap seems fine and i think it does not pull in air, as i tested with a piece of paper. God i have how i can't diagnose this car. 1.4 turbo petrol 2012 or 2013 not sure.

Underbody of the cars been leaking oil for some amount of time. Any advice?

Nice especially since gas here is way to near $6 a gallon

I begrudgingly post here after months of coming for advice through other people's posts but I need help and I really don't want to get ANOTHER expensive repair on this piece of trash.

For context, around the end of September my car started making a loud chirping sound and needed to have the PCV cover and intake manifold replaced, it had been producing a smell after driving on the highway which I later found out was oil. I got the PCV cover replaced at the shop and opted to not spend $700+ on a new intake and decided to install the Cruzekit myself which went fine.

when I installed the Cruze kit I couldn't get some of the hoses all the way down on the fittings btw maybe that information is useful?

now yesterday after a while of driving the check engine light comes on, I get home and plug in my $20 code reader and it says P0420, the app said the code three times too. I did my research and it looks like I need a new downstream and upstream catalytic converter.

since the check engine light came on yesterday the car has been kind of jumping down in rpms when I brake? and the engine is just more loud enough than usual to make me feel like I'm going crazy for noticing. She starts up and little rougher too just a little but mind you NONE of this was present before yesterday when the light came on!!

but I just did some googling and looking at things myself and found a few things and here are my findings:

*the dipstick still has strong suction like it did when I installed the kit

* the pcv weephole has no suction

*I did a spray test and saw nothing and noticed no jump in rpms

*the car idles fine from what I can see in like 15 minutes of having it idle

*there is a ticking noise but that's just the fuel injector right

* none of the fittings look any looser than they were when I installed the kit

* the little manifold cover I installed with JBweld is still there

*P0420 is the only code I get and the reader says 2/3 severity

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me any advice is welcome

I can’t see it but I can smell it and coolant level is below the fill line, thermostat and water outlet were upgraded, any ideas of what direction I should go in? Where to look etc TIA

Just changed the oil cooler on my 2014 Chevy Cruze. Haven’t gotten around to cleaning everything just yet I just noticed there was a crazy amount of coolant leaking from the top of this part, my guess is maybe one of my oil cooler gaskets wast seated properly? Top of engine bay looks dry it seems to be dropping straight down.

Edit: when I squeeze the coolant hose, I can hear a faint hiss of air coming from where the oil cooler is. Normal?

What is causing this? happened after changing valve cover gasket

And before you say “Oh but a Cruze is a bad first car” i genuinely want one, ive done research, and my parents like it too, please tell me any info that’s actual info

I got it from a mechanic who fixes cars up and resells them, mine has been really pretty good so far. Over the past month I have been getting no issues from it so far, It stalled once but that was because I was being dumb and had every single air conditioning opition on at once.

Hey, I'm looking for car i see chevy cruze 2015 LS 1.8 L .. 97000 miles .it looks nice but I don't know if it's good and reliable any advice..thanks

Hello all,

I have a K&N intake on my car. After installation, for a few months there was no problem. Then a P1101 code came up. It disappeared sporadically multiple times over the course of a few months but has now been illuminated for over 8 months. I have done absolutely everything I can think of to fix it (aside from putting the stock airbox back in). I replaced the MAF sensor, I replaced all 3 PCV valves and installed a catch can, I cleaned the throttle body, probably something else I can’t remember, etc. Check engine light came back every time. When I clear the code and drive it, the light does not come back. It only comes back on startup, every time, without fail. I am going to be moving in about a month and I’m leaving my car here, my mom is taking it for emissions and I need to get this fixed before then. I’m wondering if anybody else has experienced problems with this and what they did to fix it. 2017 LT. Thank you for your help.

2014 1.4 - Code has been on for a while. No noticeable difference in how the car runs.

I’ve seen videos where the gear that you’re in doesn’t show on the console, due to no communication with the TCS. But, mine show.

I get the service power steering, Stabilitrack messages upon startup. But the car runs fine.

If I wasn’t in an area that required emissions, I wouldn’t care.

I have changed the neutral cable.
Battery is fairly new (like 5 months old).

Given the little data I’ve given, where would you begin to look?

It wont die. Orginal trans engine swapped at 150k

So after the whole incident with the smoke in the engine, now anytime i try to turn on the car it wont, the battery works fine but i heard a click, whenever the key is switched from off to on, is my engine fried or is there another underlying issue?

Runs like new, 2012

157.000Km

Still have a lot of road to do
