How to Replace Front Catalytic Converter 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze

Shop for New Auto Parts at 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/c/93/W/...
This video shows you how to install a front catalytic converter on your 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze. Catalytic converters clean impurities out of your car or truck's exhaust before pushing that exhaust out of the tail pipe to help reduce emissions pollution. If the catalyst has failed, or is clogged, it will cause problems with the running quality of your vehicle.
This repair was done on a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze LT 1.4L Sedan 4-Door FWD and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2011 Chevrolet Cruze
2012 Chevrolet Cruze
2013 Chevrolet Cruze
2014 Chevrolet Cruze
2015 Chevrolet Cruze

I can say the Cruze has turn me into a TH-cam mechanic 👨🏼‍🔧🤣😂 everything that goes wrong I come on here learn and change it 💯💪🏽 Thanks for your help as well

Doing this job very soon on a 2012 Cruze. Very much appreciate the video. Also recommend using anti seize on the O2 sensor threads. I bought a new upstream and downstream O2 for another $60 to make sure all the parts are fresh. Original problem that burned up the cat was a PCV hose/valve that went bad and was feeding the engine too much oxygen. That caused hot exhaust and killed the cat, so that was replaced and confirmed fixed before deciding to replace the cat to fix the P0420 code. First code was a P0171 indicating the PCV issue. Always fix that first before the cat. Again, thanks for the great video and professional work.

If you’re replacing your catalytic converter might as well buy a new o2 sensor if you have the extra 80$ for it.

“Just gonna tap the socket” *proceeds to beat the ever loving shit out of it*

[@BenDover-wu6lu]

I got a stripped bolt. The top one that holds it to the engine. I have zero room like you do. Ugh

[@LOLONO666]

Which aftermarket brand would you recommend ?

[@soundsforsleep674]

Doing that this weekend thank you!

[@delmarea_k1624]

Are lubricants, or anything else required when replacing this part?

[@brianbradley4288]

is the catalytic converter not welded to the exhaust manifold ?? i have to change mine and i wasnt sure if it was welded or clamped

[@ronrobert1544]

Thank you for the video

[@DavidBarnesBarnzy]

It appears that you replaced more parts than just the catalytic converter? The rear cat looks knew also so did you replace it also the waste gat looks new?

[@joih8681]

I have the Chevy sonic turbo just in dealing with the turbo line issue..

[@bakchodshayar7778]

Did this part bought from 1AAuto fix your p0420 code or not?
If not then plz suggest me which brand part would do the job and p0420 won't come back. Plz
Already tried one from amazon 300$ but light came back.

[@knowsittobetrue8566]

I thought the downstream o2 sensor was also connected to the catalytic converter?

[@ryanmcclure580]

It's down below after the front converter.

[@josedejesusmartinezjimenez4876]

Buen video,gracias.

[@ChuckyBeaver]

I think my aftermarket cat isn’t any good. Still pulls p0420 code

[@dancurrier6421]

what if you can't get the nuts of the bolts

[@haydencutrone6443]

Looks like there is an oil leak

[@prestoncody18]

Just broke one of the 3 nuts off.
