Notice that this video does not show specifically how to remove the coolant line from the engine block. The 17mm bolt. What tools were used to get back there? I've heard, but not confirmed it can be obtained by a socket and very long extension. He also doesn't show removal of the bottom bolts of the exhaust manifold. How are they accessed with the wastegate actuator in place? Check TH-cam for other video's. This makes the process seem a little over easy!

There seems to be a LOT of glossed over steps that just magically happen with the camera off.
Rename the video "39 of the 50 steps to change your turbo"
@Abettorman is possible that if u remove turbo permanent the car will continue working
good video but would like to see more of how it actually came out and when you put back in.
@John Bradley did you find a video?
I'll still looking myself 😫🤦🏽♀️
When installing the 17mm cooling line bolt, use a regular socket and pack it 3/4 full of paper towel. What happens is, when you push it on to try and start the threads into the block, the bolt head slides back into the socket and theres not enough threads showing to start it. Use a long extension. On the lower manifold nuts, place a small piece of paper towel over the end of the nut, then push your socket on, this keeps them tight in the socket so they won’t fall out.
Watch a video on how to bleed cooling system, there’s a bleeder plug on the top of the radiator i didn’t know about.
lol use the same damn truck for spark plugs 😂😂😂 specially when that little fucken rubber piece gets lost!
Man you guys skipped a ton of steps, mostly the hard parts:
1. Getting that second bolt off the oil return is really difficult because its covered by the line itself. Also, if you want to have your warranty for your new turbo you're supposed to replace it. I believe you have to remove the cat to even get to it. You didnt show the removal of the cat....
2. That 17mm bolt holding the coolant return is the WORST. Getting a wrench in there to get it off is very difficult. You didnt show that part, nor putting it back on. (I am literally looking for a video putting this back on, which I spent at least an hour on to no avail)
3. You also didnt show all of the gaskets that need to be replaced. Pretty important to do if you want to make sure you dont get any leaks on your brand new turbo.
-sonic owner with turbo install in progress
Same spot for me. I have been struggling for hours trying to get the turbo coolant line (The one with the banjo end) back on. Not sure I will be able to but as you noted, nobody shows that part!
There is a tool to hold the bolt and the line in place, but on the sonic there is a bracket in the way...so you cannot get a socket or the "tool" lined up to get things threaded in correctly. Plus the videos I've watched on this no one mentions having to drain the coolant in order to do this?
@@z06guy Im assuming you got it, as I did a few months back. I ended up using some swivel deep sockets to get it on. I also used a set of long needle nose plyers to help guide the socket to the bolt. I used my phones camera and light to look and verify I was in place. Also, a good nights rest helped me not get frustrated(haha).
@@danvaldivia3148 Yea, that tool is over $100. Totally ridiculous for something you're likely to use once.
so howld you end up getting the coolant return back on?
What did you mean by warranty
and what do you mean by cat?
Always have a oil return pipe on hand and on the estimate. The pipe is typically cracked or ready to fail when disturbed, even gently.
Yep. That’s why I bought one to be safe. And it isn’t really that much more expensive at all.
Overall this is a helpful video. Some extremely important details that were left out...namely:
Firstly. Re-installation of the right side water line secured with the 17mm banjo bolt and double washers is tricky and 100% by feel as there is a rubber hose above it obscuring the line of sight, plus the crush washer will want to fall off the end of the banjo bolt.
Secondly, the oil drain is VERY difficult to install. One of the bolts is blocked by the drain and near impossible to secure and requires some creativity to tighten. then I recommend greasing both O-rings on the drain itself so they do not bind when slipping it into the block. You have to make sure the manifold is actually loose, not even on the studs and then you coax the drain into the block, fortunately it has a goose neck but it is tricky and time consuming. Be prepared to get your hand scraped up along the way.
you say creativity to tighten the oil drain.. so howl did you then do it?
I got my oil drain line in but that horribly engineered coolant line that connects to the block with two washers is a pain and ive yet to get it on there. thinking about unbolting the AC compressor to get the room to access it.
Just the video I was looking for!! Great instructions, now I feel a little more confident to take on this project. Thanks!
excellent video how much does it cost to change a turbo only labor😊
So I literally just replaced one of these and I really have no idea how you guys manage without moving the ac compressor out of the way. It's an extra 6 screws and two wire connectors.
Just wondering how long this job took. My car is in the shop right now and it's the end of the second day!
So how’d you get that 17mm bolt out? That’s literally the last thing I can’t get loose...
Were there any other issues with the removed turbo other than the cracks in the wastegate area? To hear GM talk about it you'd think they see that as almost normal.
Because they pretty much happen on every 1 as reported by owners.
Where did you buy the part?
Can I ask what was the mileage on Chevy Cruze when you did this swap change. I have 2014 Cruze and wanted to keep an I on mileage just to see if I have problems like the one ur working on. Thanks for the video
I just replaced my water pump, intake manifold, battery, thermostat, and spark plugs, however, I have a oil low pressure light at idle...just had an oil change, what is next, an oil sensor switch to take care of the low oil pressure light at idle.
My turbo is throwing underboost codes sometimes, I heard all turbos cracked, did you do a boost leak test, before you actually replaced the turbo?
A boost leak test would not apply to a cracked exhaust turbine housing.
good video, could have shown the lower bolts being removed from the intake, or at least said how many bolts where under it. one we had was leaking coolant, had to remove to replace hoses/ terrible engineering / customer teed off, less than 100 dollar parts labor intensive
do the bottom bolts come off from the bottom? I mightr need to replace mine so im checking
Just asking if the replacement turbo will diesel engine will not run away
When you drain the oil feed line to the turbo do you add that amount to the enigine oil? So the engine is 4 Liters plus the amound in the turbo?
Fill oil to spec amount > check dipstick level > top off to desired amount.
@@fluxcapacitor05 yep i have changed the turbo now and it was 4L by also draining turbo so.
Thanks I have a cruze that needs the same thing
Awesome video! Thank you.
Great job. I like to know what code did you got in order to replace the turbo ? I am getting P0299.
I got the same thing and we had to replace the turbo charger underboost
Same here
If it squeaks its the engine cover
Really good video. Thanks!
Does it have to be reprogrammed after changing the turbo?
wait towards the end, is that really how quiet it should sound?
Where did you get your turbo and how much did it cost... If possible can you give me a link, please and thank you....
i get most my replacement parts from rock auto.
This video is incredible, thanks to this video I can know which part I have to change to my encore 2015. But here is my question for how long can I keep running my car with this code P0299?
How long does it take to replace a turbocharger
Very cool video! Thanks
Good job ❤
I got a 2017 chevy malibu there saying turbo going to be around $800 and labor 1k what do you think the cause for new turbo is saying engine power reduced but if I turn off car for 10 seconds and turn back on goes away
I'm having trouble finding that kent moor tool
what ab the hose that’s plastic and has a clip at the head it has two e10 bolts screwed onto the turbo where does that go
Seems like that heat expansion at the waste gate causing cracks on the turbo is a common occurrence.
Same thing happened to me. I can't figure out how to get the lines back on
Very very common. Like literally every 1 of them cracks like that.
I was actually how you disconnected the coolant lines because you can't see them from top or bottom!
You can get them from the top right?
@@johng5261 Yes
Where you buy the turbocharger
Followed the video, everything went well, put in new oil, but when I start it it's making a ton of loud noise. Anyone know about this? Thank you
There's two bolts that hold the oil return line attached to the turbo. How'd you manage to remove the second bolt from up underneath?
an extension with a wobble nut
What is the part where the cooling tubes are connected at is the black plastic that is attached to the motor
I wish you showed how you removed the bottom bolts on the exhaust manifold that’s why I came here
Remove waste gate actuator and use a 10mm deepest 1/4” drive socket
Do I need to upgrade my transmission on my cruze eco for a docas turbocharger
OK so I got my scanner. I found multiple codes for maf baro, boost sensor ect. All low voltage codes. I erased them and drove the car and have yet to return. My scanner shows all values normal... Gremlins?
Is the only way to prelube the turbo by cranking it without fuel? Can you just turn it to the on position and have oil start flowing to it then, or does oil not circulate until the engine is actually fully cranked and started?
The oil pump is a mechanical pump that is driven by the rotation of the engine. Energizing the electrical system by switching the car on won't do it. The engine has to be cranked/started. Cranking the engine without starting it lets the process happen much slower than it would if the engine were running, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the new (and unlubricated) turbo.
nice thank you
How do you get the lower left manifold 10mm stud in i cant get it started super super hard to reach i have a 2013 i am stuck and dont know what to do
I have a chevrolet cruze 2014 Lt .My check engine light came on and I got a P0299 underboost condition. Does this mean I have to replace the turbo Like in this video ?
93 times out of 100, yes. GM severely screwed up balancing the supply oil line with the return. The return is huge, but the supply is the size of a pencil. So if you're delinquent whatsoever in changing your oil the thin line will clog/restrict/reduce flow just enough to wreck the impeller, which turns at crazy high speed and needs constant oil all of the time. Don't mean to jab, but since most Cruze owners are on the thrifty side of the economic spectrum this scenario tends to happen often and this particular engine does not handle it well.
Good video but only disagree with one thing I believe you should let the codes clear themselves instead of using a scan tool but I suppose that’s just preference
Ive never seen a history code clear itself.
Huh? On what vehicle will a code clear itself?
Did he skip the lower nuts on the manifold or am I tripping?
The new oil return line I got was not A T45 bit it was A 3/8 size it was strange
Why is mine smoking white after I replaced?
What kind of turbo?
Guys how the hell do i get the bolts underneath?!?! He very conveniently skipped that part!! Someone help! Im working on this rn 3pm PST.
I can get the two edge ones. But i cant get the main two underneath the manifold. The turbo is directly in the way!
Does anyone have a rough idea of how long this job should take?
How do I order this kit?
Didn’t show how you hook up all the lines
Easier way to crank it is flood mode, just mash the pedal to the floor before you crank and it won’t fire or add fuel. ;)
Do you still have to touch the ignition coil assembly and fuse with this method?
I think you might need to hold the electronic fan still, Ill try it and get back
Really??
can you confirm what models this works for? i have a 2016 trax
Did you do a boost leak test? All turbos for the Cruze have some crack
Mine does. Worse car I have ever bought
@@cornpop9262 yes it is, nice inside terrible engine flaw
@@johnnelson7457 yes. I only have 100,000 miles on mine. Already replaced the entire cooling system and now the turbo is cracked
@@cornpop9262 cooling system is trash, plastic parts, don’t get me started on turbo coolant lines, I no longer have the Cruze sold it and got a hyndai accent no problems yet, also got a 14 year old Jeep Grand Cherokee and no problems ethier
@@cornpop9262 same thing man I changed my water pump , cooling system, radiator, thermostat, valves, bolt, now the turbo I'm so tired if this car man...
If you don't mind me asking, what turbo did you use to replace the original one?
I see the word "Garrett" embossed into the new turbo in the video, so I assume that answers the question....
saved me $600 going to chevy the bottom hose for my turbo popped out
Just bought a Cruze what did you put on yours to go faster ? I just got mercked on a highway by an s10 truck in front of my friends and shit I felt like a bitch dawg what should I do make it faster
@@temp2541 buy a different car lol
I replaced my Turbo on my 2014 Chevy Cruze LT and my car gives me a underboost code again with the new turbo and takes forever to get up to speed. Anyone know why this would occur?
Did you reconnect the waste gate acctuator and all the vacuum tubing associated with it?
Needs to show more missing tasks.
👍
My Turbo has crike
Hi, how much does the part cost??
Around 700
@@RoOmIeStCoRpSe thanks👍
@@RoOmIeStCoRpSe LOL it only cost me 350 online. Genuine garret turbo. Look around online before you buy from a dealership
Do yourself a favor take it to a shop or gave another car ready. This is definitely not as easy as the video
Too late buddy.....im already in the process of putting back together and I'm sure its gonna be a bear!!!
I did it for a Sonic, really isn't that bad with the right tools. You need an assortment of sockets to get in the odd spots, but overall very doable.
Great video just wish you could show some troubleshooting bolts that was hard to replace and maybe the chevy trax suv the bolts were a little difficult and different.
You must own a shop think that you're the only that can fix things
So I replaced the turbo and now it’s in limp mode. I don’t have my scanner and I’m lost. I’ve done a few of these and this is a first. Any suggestions?
Possible boost leak at the intake manifold?
is that $120 EN-49942 holding tool really necessary? or should one just be vewwwwy caweful to not twist the crap out of that coolant feed pipe when loosening?
also, any idea if the underboost codes have stayed gone say, 12-15k miles later? halfheartedly hoping that an incoming aftermarket V3 PCV check valve replacement kit makes my 122k-mile "new" car magically run like new -- or at least stop popping P0299 every time I encounter a steep freeway onramp -- but the turbo is cheap enough and mine has enough miles under its belt that perhaps it wouldn't be the worst idea to replace if for no other reason than preventative maintenance... ?
Looks like an easy job as unreliable as they cars are easy to fix
My girlfriend paid $1,500 to have that done
It's not a easy job but doable junky motor do yourself a favor buy a Malibu or impaila don't buy this shit
Great video!
