Very helpful videos. I appreciate you taking the time to explain the process. I know now I can do this on my own. Im not a mechanic but I love doing my own work when I know what im doing. Not afraid to get down and dirty. Thank you very much for the tutorial
Best how to video ever. I hate videos where you suddenly see a part removed with no explanation where it goes and how they really got it off. I once destroyed a truck because the video said I could replace the wheel bearings with nothing more than a steel pipe in 20 minutes. Thank you.
Appreciate this video big time. Getting ready to tear into my '14 Cruze and do the same work. This is beyond helpful. Part numbers and exact procedures are greatly appreciated as well.
Everything worked perfectly once back together. I was honestly surprised the car ran as well as it did , with the turbo and cat in the condition it was. Thanks for the feedback.
Awesome camera work. Super helpful. I've heard you can do this oil cooler if you only remove the cat. You have to remove the oil filter/cap, unbolt the coolant line from the cooler (S shaped line), and the one from the block (straight line). Pull it out of the oil drain into the block, push it up enough to get the coolant pipe out of the left side (straight pipe). Then you can remove it out the bottom. I'm going to try this way. I'm having coolant enter the oil, but compression test is fine, no pressure building up in cooling system, and pressure holds at 20PSI, plugs are clean and engine runs normal. It's either the oil cooler, or timing cover gasket. Hoping its just this.
@@Dassick89 Can you please provide update on your repair. Did replacing the cooler stop the coolan from entering the oil? I'm experiencing the same thing. Thanks in advance.
This is the best video on this type of drivetrain. Cruz, Traxx or Encore. I broke the nut on the catalatic flexpipe connection. Sprayed it with oil put a socket on the pressed end and put in a vice and pressed it out. Autozone had the 8mm bolt and nuts so now I have extra. Thanks again for the great video.
Great video very helpful. The seals for the turbo coolant lines are Gm 25198928 or Dorman 667-580 The Gm ones are the best fit , the Dorman ones are loose around the inner diameter. I put the coolant line on the engine block then on the turbo before the exhaust manifold is installed , didn’t have to remove the AC compressor.
I had the ole camshaft cover/intake/hose/pcv nightmare repaired under special coverages through GM 2 weeks ago, told me my oil cooler is leaking/cracked. $1,800 to do this repair. Been watching videos left and right, been fixing most of the problems myself, confident I can tackle this. Thank you for providing the part number for the o-ring at 46:00. That was the one thing that worried me about this, other videos I viewed, people were using a random o-ring because they couldn't find the part number. After all it takes to get to that o-ring and seeing every video how chewed up and worn down flat they become, nope... As for that pcv fix through coverages. 14' cruze, 112k, the coverages are 10years/120k miles.. covers camshaft cover and intake manifold, any dealer will perform this repair. (I barely made it before it expired. p107, runs/idles rough, full vacuum through pcv.) Here's a link to the coverages for anyone it may help. static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10178406-9999.pdf They threw in hoses and seals for free.
I have to do the same thing to grandmas car. You fix one thing, then something else has to break. After catalytic converter turbercharger and all the lines. Granda will have a brand new car!! Any updates on the car you fixed?
It has been working great , never even knew the turbo manifold was bad until removing it , but major improvement in performance afterwards. I am sure some had to do with the cat as well. I fixed the pcv diaphragm in another video and finally got the pesky check engine light to go off on its own. I think I was more excited about that issue being solved. Anyways thank you very much for the feedback.
Hi @s33therfan, thanks for your videos. I've replaced most of the components to prevent coolant leaks. But I haven't gone under the vehicle yet. How feasible is it to replace the turbo cooling feed line and the turbo coolant line without removing the turbo? 49:57
Great video and you have saved me from a lot of aggravation. Did you have any leakage from those aftermarket oil lines on the turbo because like yours mine seem loose also. Thanks in advance
Great video, unfortunately like your turbo my is crack too. Looking for a new old one. Taking your advice On the cooler the electrical plug I put plumber's tap (Teflon tape) around threads will that be a problem
When putting on the exhaust manifold. I had a very hard time connecting the pipe that goes from the oil pan. Luckily the exhaust manifold was loose. I still had to remove the exhaust manifold and get the bolts started. First then reinstall the exhaust manifold. Once again thanks for the help I could have never done it without your video. Now I am my daughter's hero again
The cooler may need to be replaced. I do not know about the 1.4L but the 1.8L has a gasket that can fail. Here is a video link. th-cam.com/video/CCphtGwKdmc/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching
Did you have any issues with leaks when using the amazon banjo gaskets on the block where the coolant supply lines goes? I purchased the same kit and the washer seem a little loose. I did have one that came with my turbo that I put on the head side of the banjo bolt. Thanks! Otherwise, really appreciate the video. Mine has been a PIA. the 15mm that goes into the exhaust hanger to body (had to do oil pan too) stripped.
I just slide it on one side , mate them up , and then slide the band on. I mark its location so a put it back in the same spot. Hope this helps and thank you for the feedback.
Why Chevy did you go with all this cheapness? I don't get why they didn't just build a 2.0 liter engine without turbo to get same fuel economy & power. Chevy could have made a better design on the turbo system & especially on the pcv system with these engines. This is why cost cutting trying to get quick sales backfires. I love old Chevy's, Fords,Plymouth,Dodge American built. Now i own Toyota vehicles because yes you have to do maintenance but don't have this bullcrap.
That's Opel motor project made by GM. All Opel Asta J 1.4T with same motore A14NET in Europe have same problems.. mine too.. gasket, leaking,pipe, PCV valve problem etc etc.. fuck it shtty plastic.. then also the high working temperature (108°C) increase problems on the pipe, tank etc. of the cooling system.
I just always use the " purple power " that walmart sells. The big jug seems to be the most economical and will last a good while. Thanks for the feedback.

People helping people.
How did it all go?
Any problems?
They now make a steel flexible oil drain I may do that too!

I was able to do it the way I explained today. Possible without removing exhaust manifold!

Thanks for watching.
Great work man, thank you! My chevy cruze has been a pain.
They all seem to require a lot of maintenance for sure . Thank you for the great feedback.
What size of bonded sealed washers did you end up needing for the pipes? 49:36
Thank you for the video just did my brother car Chevy Cruze
Glad it helped, thank you for the feedback.
Your links for the oil feed and oil drain are the same. If you get it fixed I'll order using your link.
I appreciate you letting me know , it should be corrected . Thank you for watching.

You should be able to get to it , but it will be tight in there. Hope this helps
Great video and you have saved me from a lot of aggravation. Did you have any leakage from those aftermarket oil lines on the turbo because like yours mine seem loose also. Thanks in advance
I had my doubts , but none of them ever leaked. Thanks for watching.
Great video, unfortunately like your turbo my is crack too. Looking for a new old one. Taking your advice
On the cooler the electrical plug I put plumber's tap (Teflon tape) around threads will that be a problem
Should be fine , thank you for the feedback.

helpful video. so my cruze isa mixing oil into the coolant, so do i have to replace the oil cooler as well?
The cooler may need to be replaced. I do not know about the 1.4L but the 1.8L has a gasket that can fail. Here is a video link.

I just got a ac Delco oil cooler. It has that black plug in it sticking out ¼". How does turbo line even go into with that black piece?
They put a check valve in the newer coolers. It will open up once the turbo feed is bolted on. Thanks for the question.
Got a 2015 Cruse
What other models are interchangeable for turbos? Thank you
sonic , trax , encore .thanks for watching.
How about rims? What rims are interchangeable for 2015 Cruze?
Don't like the doughnut. Thank you
thank you. that work costs $100 in russia. I'll try to replace the oil cooler with this useful video guide
Thank you for the terrific feedback , much appreciated.
Man thank you so much! Great video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯💯

Any advice on connecting the vclamp that goes between the turbo and cat? Im dying over here.
I just slide it on one side , mate them up , and then slide the band on. I mark its location so a put it back in the same spot. Hope this helps and thank you for the feedback.

Those cats are unavailable now@@s33therfan
How long did this job take you to do?
The actual work was maybe 4 or 5 hours . Hunting down parts and ordering took over a week. Thanks for the feedback.

I thought you were working on a 1.8 crap
And now malibu the only passenger car
I did not know this . Thank you for the feedback.
