I would not have risked driving the car knowing the coolant leak is spraying on the exhaust manifold. That is a good way to get a cracked manifold.
Well you aren’t me, and I knew by leaving the cap loose it wouldn’t build pressure and spray, which I even said in the video if you watched.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds I did watch all the way through, but I didn't hear anything about the cap. I am glad you got it home with out any more issues. I am not that lucky with cars.
@@mexicanspec He mentions it at 21:21
I hate to butt in , I heard randy saying he going to leave the cap loose so it don’t spray coolant
And what happens when driving down the road in the rain?
Throwback to when the Rams tailgate wasn't smashed by a 77 Olds.
Now he'll have a new rear bumper without the mark on the corner from the mailbox!
Ever since I was 17 I’ve always kept an impact gun, impact socket set and regular tool set in my car. They make it so much easier and faster to do stuff like tires on the side of the road.
I won't use their name but you know who I mean. You just gotta love the company you bought the car from. I sometimes wonder, when they interview lift drivers, they give them a test to make sure they can do as much damage as possible moving the cars around. Someone needs to call them out on this!!!!!
I see this Cruze and made me remember of the 2013 Chevy Cruze LTZ I once had. The common issues are:
* Valve Cover
* Water Outlet not Thermostat Housing
* Coil pack
* EGR valve
Very minor issues but it adds up. There's more things that will go bad on it but if you're able to take care of those things; you can very much have a decent reliable car
🤣🤣 I've just replaced 2 out of the 4 things you mentioned the intake manifold and crankshaft sensor seals are next they are leaking oil
Transmissions are fucking dogshit on cruises i owned one
Yap I know they feeling lol
@@rnggaming5216 Totally agree, they are crappy cars. They have plastic parts for the coolant system, they are always leaking.
Man, seeing a Cruze pop up on this channel again made me think for a second I was gonna see the old Uberman intro! When can I come rent it on Turo??
He cannot list to many miles
My grandma. left me her car when she passed away in March 17 2003. It was a 1992 Subaru Legacy Sudan.
It sat in my driveway for years. It just needed a battery it started right up. It needed a lot of work. Awesome video
Yet another,"Will we make it home." video. Excellent. Thank you.
A plastic thermostat housing?? Whose brilliant, cost-cutting idea was that? Plastic parts have no place in a constantly heat-cycling environment.
All Audi’s I’ve worked on have plastic thermostat housing and the newer 2009 and up the water pump comes in a plastic housing just like the BMW 😬
Genus!
@@jrebuilds2 That's just insane, considering what they charge for them brand new. You'd think they would use decent metal parts.
My 93 Lexus ls400 was all original when i bought it and the plastic thermostat housing is still good. It's because the coolant is supposed to be cold on the top
If it was a 1.8 like mine change it to the dorman metal replacement
Things you need in your car at all times... (assuming your vehicle has a spare) 1/2 cordless impact(Ryobi is cheap and effective), ATA reversible lug socket set, scissor jack with 17mm or 19mm drive nut. From experience.... Turn that 1-2 hour blowout/flat tire nightmare into a 5 min tire swap anyone can do. That impact, sockets and jack might total you $200? The cost of one tow? Totally worth it. Plus you can help others! Build up that karma!
I carry a fire extinguisher, tire pump and battery pack. Forgot - AAA.
@@artlayton1425 haha very true! I am guilty of forgetting the fire extinguisher. Luckily I have never had to use AAA. They can be a lifesaver if you don't have any tools or know how.
💯💯
Randy, you may leave these tires on as long as they're both up front or back. They have good thread and they come from a good brand
I did that on my old 1980 Honda Accord Hatchback. Putting the smaller tires on the front gave it a somewhat sporty profile and it drove just fine for me.
Why do people spell tread thread?
@@mexicanspec British and American spelling I think.
@@mexicanspec They might be numb skulls who don't know that bolts have a thread on them.
This one made you work for it . Nice car, with a few minor tweaks it will serve someone for years to come.
I have a 2014 1.4L Chevy Cruze. It’s a cheap gas saver commuter car. I agree with you, I think these are great for what they are. So far just regular maintenance and only one issue being the turbo which is the common cracked waste gate. I’m glad to hear you have gotten 200,000 miles out of yours, that means I should have lots of life left in mine! I hope you make a good bit of content for this car so I can learn for any potential issues I might see. Thanks for all the great content!
These Cruzes always came into the shop I worked at. Valve covers going bad, PCV valves, Water pumps, Thermostats.
bought a Jaguar and a BMW recently from Copart. Guess what? Forklift driver idiots completely ruined rear part of front bumper, and rear IRS/rear axle frame. Damage was definitely not there when I inspected the car before auction. they should find different ways to move the cars around.
Just take the two tires you bought put them on the front they're all 215 same height. Put the 215-55s on the back 🤔
Actually, the thermostat housing is bottom left under the turbo. You're referencing the water outlet, which I'm all to familiar with in my girlfriend's car, lol. A $15 part caused a catastrophic head gasket failure 🤔
You are right Randy. That's the way you have to do it, for good content for us. Everything on the spot. So we can see what to buy and how to buy. Other thing, you will now what you bought, driving it home. Keep up with the good work. Love it.
In spite of the issues, you obviously enjoyed your day. I enjoy seeing you bring back cars that others have given up on.
quick tip for yeah, i believe thats not the thermostat housing thats leaking, its a water outlet housing, just thought id let you know because there is also a thermostat housing
You have a wonderful time making these videos, and all of us have a wonderful time whatching these videos! Please keep up the good work! Greetings from Milan, Italy!
Hell yeah randy didn't expect a win video on Monday last I remember you were doing weekends. Loving the content keep it up buddy and hope you and your wife are alright from the accident.
Not Thermostat housing water outlet. Thermostat housing on the front left of motor
Nice car. The best looking mini sedan ever made.
Oh what a day!!. Fun watching all the way. Surprised this was sold for 1250$. Great content
Plastic thermostat housing and plastic water outlet w/ temp sensor in it on my 2010 Mazda 6.
Never overheated.
The rubber gasket on the water outlet crapped out at 307K miles last December.
Same gasket on the thermostat hasn’t failed yet. I’m getting The original thermostat and water pump replaced soon, I don’t want a failure, now it has 345K, to leave me stranded this winter.
If i remember right randy, the key works when the car isn’t running, my car won’t lock/unlock off the keyfob unless the keys in my hand with the car off
the turo stories are what got me hooked on this channel originally.
Time to do some sketchy stuff doo da doo da, hope I get away with it la da doo da day. Lol I love your riskier trips, edge of your seat minute to minute action and never one staged or dull moment. Raw, real and out there
The good stuff
It's really great to see your videos, you seems to have so much fun with every car you win from the auction, I would love to have an auto auction close by to me also.
Keep up the good work.
Oh those ridiculous counter offers. It’s like they want twice the value of the car and the counter bids
Good seeing you man!! You're up and at it early!
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds I get up around five. The early bird catches the worm🤘
@@LunarOutlawsGarage it's usually the second mouse that gets the cheese 🧀😆
Happy Thanksgiving it’s coming up this Thursday eat plenty of turkey chill with the family You got a good deal for that car bro. Always come prepared bring your tools and everything you going to need
I just sold my Chevy Cruze, it was indeed a great car! Definitely worth alotta money right now, especially with gas prices climbing
Despite the problems with tires, leaking coolant. It's a nice 🚗
Randy: I have a trailer but why??? We gotta do it the hard way.... Me: This is why I this channel is golden...
It's the intake manifold that causes the pcv valve to fail, get ready for it to fail again without changing it or doing a bypass on it.
When forklift driver damages a car aren't they responsible for the damage. You did not buy the car with fork damaged tires
Most auction houses don't give a fuck. You might be able to go after someone personally if you're able to get to them
Unless you had proof, it's hard to get the auction house to take responsibility for it.
It had flat tyres one of the times when he viewed it.
I always thought the Chevy Cruz was a good looking car, but everybody I know with one isn’t happy with it.
The Suzuki Kazashi looks very similar to that style Chevy Cruz.
@Hidden Projects though to be fair, a new Kazashi cost more when new than the Chevy Cruze.
The Chevy Cruze has to have the key removed from the ignition before the trunk can be opened. the key fob or the button above the license plate is the only way to open the trunk. I have a 14 Cruze.
that key fob button still works (unless it’s dead😂) you just can’t use it while the key is in the ignition. i had a 2013 malibu with the same key and it wouldn’t work while in the ignition
Why don't you put the new tires on the back? Then you won't have to buy new tires. Since they are the same size just wider.
The new tires are the same width just an inch shorter. Probably what's causing his tpms light as well.
Nice car, good color, just sucks that the thermostat has issues.
The clock got reset to January 1st 2010
bro we have a 14, 2 bad water pumps, head gasket, thermostat, valve cover, intake manifold, both 02 sensor , fuel rail sensor, Turbo, 3 coolant lines, 2 clamps, coolant tank, oil leak from somewhere, purge valve. 100k miles
Man Randy haven’t seen a Chevy Cruz on the channel since your last one it’s good to see you picked up another one for all the OG followers we should remember that Chevy Cruz
Very easy part to fix. Coolant outlet, $40 part plus coolant. Replaced mine on the side of the highway with a socket set and vicegrips, 20 minuet job. Tires $50 a tire Waterfall Eco Dynamic tires at walmart. Cruzes are great cars just need some particular loving.
I’ve heard nothing but bad things about these cars from turbos blowing oil return lines
Making people THINK their head gaskets are blown! But they’re not!
And trans failure before 100k miles now that is a raw deal!
But just watched another guy who bought a cruise on auction for cheap! Was told engine damage
It was blowing white smoke from engine and tail pipe and it was just the turbo! He got a cheap $200 Chinese made one and car was fixed ran nice! Only had 86k miles and he sold it made huge profit.
But it had black leather inside/heated seats/ gps/touch screen radio/
It was white outside
With tint window.
He paid $900 for it put $300 into repairs
And detailed it! And sold it for $5,500 it sold in days!!
If I were you I would just put the two tires you bought on the back and the other two on front. They are so close in size it should never cause any issues.
Great buy that coolant leak is a easy fix it happened to mine as well it been a great car it has 220000 miles still going strong have had to do some maintenance but that’s expected at that mileage
Surprisingly no one has mentioned calling out the manager for letting one of his guys puncture tires.
@@PlainShan3 I figure the outcome would be of the “too bad too sad” variety myself.
You think the manager let his employee puncture the tires?
@@PlainShan3 We have seen this before. IAA is not responsible for the damage done by the loaders.
@mexicanspec If I was the manager of that center and found this out someone wouldn't have a job at the end of the day 😊
I have a 13 Cruze and a 13 Sonic both with the 1.4 turbo. The first shift when cold always slips. The leak is coming from the water outlet. The thermostat is on the other side of the motor. Common issue. They are good cars for someone that can DIY. Valve cover, PCV hose, intake manifold, all common vacuum leaks.
Cooling system is open, but let's rev it up to 6k a few times.
how come you did not ask for the manager of the facility and ask them to look at the tires right when you noticed it, they might make a way to either give you replacement tires or something for the damage the loader did
Because it's as is. Period. They will not do anything about it.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds gotcha, well i did enjoy your content but if a question is asked and your response is like the way you have then i have no way to justify continue to watch your content anymore, you just lost another subscriber
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds if you would have said it's because the policy of copart, that any damage before, during or after the sale is not resposible of copart, would be a better answer
@@terryarthur8822 i don’t think one subscriber affects him lol
congrats on "winning" a money pit of a car!
the 2012 Cruze I once had a 1.8L eco tech engine, it too ate up thermostats, leaking valve cover gasket and as a bonus the head gasket went and had oil on the coolant system and all that fun stuff. And the trunk button did not work. The key fob eventually disintegrated, And the every plastic connector in it was made from the most brittle plastic GM could find.
Traded it in for a 2015 GMC,,,no regrets.
The thermostat housing is on the waterpump. You pointed to the water inlet that Has a coolant temperature sensor in it.
I own one of these headaches to use the trunk release on the fob the car has to be off
Randy you are a very entertaining fellow.
There’s an obvious reason they no longer make these. They weren’t the most reliable from what I’ve seen, particularly the 1.4 engines.
Before the complaining comes, obviously the tire damage is the result a careless individual and isn’t reflective of GM's quality.
Just a tip; never place your nice wheels FACE DOWN on the ground, you can ruin them. You probably didn't hurt them on the dirt lot but do that on hard concrete and well...ask me how I know.
My mother sold her 2012 ECO Cruze this past year because she got another new car. She bought the Cruze brand new and put roughly 90k miles on it before it had its first minor problem of a failed water pump. Other than that she didn't have any other problems with the car. It was a fun car to drive when i would borrow it.
Replaced my daughters thermostat housing in her Cruze with an all metal housing. It was an 1.8 so not sure if they have one for a 1.4. Took about 3 hours to complete the entire replacement. Not very hard.
Randy put a battery in the key fob and your trunk should open when it sees a signal
Excited to watch this while munching
I'm hungry lol
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds yeah just got home from work and i was starving
There is a trunk release button on the trunk on the outside by the license plate lights. My neighbors Chevy Cruze has the button by those license plate lights.
id make them replace the tires as they popped them
Yes I remember your new Cruze as uberman, so proud as a peacock.🦃
And yeah forklift operator is a hard job, sometimes they are completely blind.
See all the popped front and rear bumpers flat tyre and a lot more damage.
And paying back for them mistakes no way, and they charge any car 400$ buyer fees or more.
Those tires are close enough you cold put the 50's on the back and the 55's on the front. Only real problem is mixing Michelin's with " regular " radial tires.
randy i know a rly cheap hack for that rear one and that is to patch up the tire from the inside and add a tube in it and it works good as new
WOW 500$ for auction fees ??!!!
Reminds me of a red Cruze that my mom once rented in late 2016 after hitting a deer in her 2014 Accord. Bright red, black leather interior and automatic transmission. Wasn't really anything to write home about.
If the valve cover pcv is bad , so is your check value inside the intake manifold. That's what causes the pcv to split under the extra pressure.
If its the 1.4L Ecotec you're gonna need to look into a few key things on that engine. There's a PCV issue that you need to get a fix kit for (GM never addressed it) Gm issued new valve covers as they tend to leak air. You're gonna wanna replace that. The PCV issue can lead to the oil feel line in the turbo to clog up. These love to blow headgaskets.
I have a 2015 Chevy Cruze LT giving lots of problems always replacing parts and fixing it until I gave up and sold it crazy thing is it had low mileage.
Put a battery in the key phob and the trunk latch will work.
that's why i hate loaders they are not careful enough
Randy boy good boy shout out from the philippines LINDENBERG FAMILY KEEP YOUR GOOD WORK AND FIX IT OLD CAR
Valve covers heat and warp then the new ones do it again in 30k miles!
Only way to get a perm fix is replace the valve cover for metal one
Yea they’re 200-300$$ but you won’t have to do it again!
I have 2014 chevy Cruze there is no manual trunk latch and you can’t open the trunk until you unlock all of the doors… so just press the unlock button in the middle console and the trunk will open with the button on the trunk
My first car was a 2012 chevy cruze LS with no turbo. Had it for 7 years. It was a nice car. Good on gas but the maintenance on it just became a car payment on a paid off car. So I sold it 2 months ago. I miss it, but I don't miss it being in the shop every other month.
Thats a nice warm lookin jacket dude , great video :)
Randy yo need a impact wrench makes life easier in does moments
They’re a good car. I had a blue, 2.0 turbo diesel. In Australia it was called the Holden Cruze. I had mine 7 years and did 210,000 kms.
Nice score on the Chevy Cruz even though it has some issues.
Man those tires were Forked…. Like really really forked.
I have a 2011 18Lt version Car and it run's well all the time...
You mixed green coolant with dexcool!!! Its gonna gel up eventually flush it all out
Till the issue is sorted I would have just put water in if its not going to be freezing weather.
Great video randy you got a good deal I think for the price I went and looked at what they are selling for and you got a deal 👍
theres a push button on the back of the trunk .... right under the handle theres a black push button .. whrre you dont gave to go thru yhe back seat😊
You need to sink the Tire pressure with the new tires stems bro , Each tire has a sensor and it needs to sink with the computer,
In the short term I would just put those tyres on the two front wheels. Only thing I would have done differently is to put the spare on the front and put the trolley jack back in the truck before leaving to buy tyres.
So even if a vehicle is sold and they do damage to it they're not liable bullshittin me
Yah that is some BS
Your videos are awesome! Your well spoken and very enjoyable to watch.
Nice cruze man 🔧🧰 my friend had the same problem with his he ignored it and blew his up 🤣
Brandy I thought you showed us a box of tools that you brought one there have been a socket wrench that would work to remove the wheel lugs? Doesn’t have to be a lug ranch as such
Ecotec is known for warping heads
Awesome videos bro! This new format of short videos works better for me!
Nice Car Randy with the exception of the issues. Over here there are called the Holden Cruze .
im 99% sure that for the remote to work to open the trunk turn car off take key out of ignition key fobs normally dont work while car car is on and for the boot button to work on the trunk lock and unlock the car...well the cruze is a not bad car this one sounds like it has issues but hey it can be fixed.. another great video randy
Ture light came back on cause you gotta reset sensors
That car brings back memories for me too but mine was a 2014 and bright red your favorite color it was the first brand new car I’ve ever owned
That’s not the thermostat housing it’s the water outlet. Thermostat housing is part of the water pump
