Hey Michael! I appreciate the affiliate link! However, most of the reviews for the product linked say that it doesn’t fit properly and is cheaply made. Any recommendations on buying that one vs one from GM’s website?
Very helpful, I have a 2012 that just crossed 140k miles and have been blessed that I haven't had the problems a lot of others have commented about, so doing some preventative maintenance on mine and noticed the oil build up on the end of that line, where the new part now has the double o ring(mine is the old part), will be replacing this in the next few days. Good concise video!👍🏻
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders so I recently watched a video of yours involving the replacement of the thermostat and coming back to this comment, just realized you made BOTH of these videos. You work is quality and has basically kept my car problem free and I didn't even know it😂
@@davidseymour9934 not a problem since! The new part was much beefier than the one I replaced, and has a heat sheath over it, I guess to protect from the heat shield RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT.😓 but no leaks since! I should clarify, I didn't have a leak, I did this as PM to prevent leaking. I've done a lot of work on mine, and am basically down to isolating a rather annoying P0171 code that trips. If I can figure that out, or get it fixed, this car runs like a top.
@@blake2534 so true on this thing. Why are some of these components near each other. Yes the sheath looks like a champ on the improved version. A must find this week.
Today my wife said her car(2014 Chevy cruze )had engine oil leaking, I check leaking place, it's just your parts, the oil O ring is damaged. now I will buy this part on Monday to replace it. thank you very much! Your information is perfect!

Thank you for posting this. Had a friend ask for help with her 2014 Cruze because of a bad oil leak. Had no idea what it could be but this was the issue. Thanks!
thanks for the video, much appreciated!!! I knew what the problem was but didn't have any idea what kinda tools I would need!!! My husband never listens to me when I tell him exactly what is wrong with one of our vehicles he will take it to a mechanic and whatever they say he will pay and some times they don't even fix the original problem or create more. I don't know if it's his ego and he feels ignorant when I'm always right, and yes there is somethings I don't know but I don't just lead him in the wrong direction I would admit I no clue... but maybe he is just plain stubborn he don't even think I can change my own oil....so I fixed it and told him it was don't by an apprentice mechanic (didn't want to lie) but he is satisfied with the work!!! So thank you so much!!!

Had thought I was burning oil from spilling a little when I changed my oil filter not long ago during a change. Realized I continued smelling oil burning, caught my attention, noticed oil in that area. Your video was first to come up on my search for cruze oil leaks and there it is. Thanks.
Thank you for this thorough video! I have a 2014 Cruze, bought used with 15K miles on it, have changed the oil every 3-5K miles (I know the bottle/recommendation says it can last up to 10K miles, but from everyone that I know that has done this, it has only causes issues with their cars... so I’ll stick with my routine) anyway, I now have 150K on it and have noticed this build up of oil right around the area you have demonstrated in the video. I will be taking off the heat shield and double checking to make sure that this is the correct problem before purchasing the part, although I am almost 100% confident that this is the exact issue my car is having. I really like the car and I can say that if you stay ahead of the recommended maintenance schedule, you have a decent vehicle that can last a while. The thing I love most about mine is the timing Chain which Will hopefully last the life of the vehicle. The only other issues/maintenance that I’ve had so far are - getting the battery replaced in 2017, new brake pads front and rear, new tires at 70K, and 130K, and a small fender bender. Other than that it is great for road tripping! I guess I can also mention that I have a manual 6 speed transmission which still works like new. :) again, thank you for your upload!

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Hello again! So I went ahead and looked under the hood, and sure enough the Turbo Oil Feed Line was leaking where this video demonstrated it would. I was able to go to my local Chevy dealer and get the piece and repair it myself in one afternoon. This video helped tremendously and guiding me in doing the repair. My immediate observation, and I’m not sure if you can verify this with others, but my car would sort of stutter on acceleration prior to doing the fix, but it was barely perceivable, enough for the driver to notice. After I installed the new piece, I no longer experienced any sort of stutter or delay in acceleration. I did not think that this piece would have that big of an effect since I thought that it was just how the car normally accelerated, and I’m curious to know how oil to the turbo would affect my acceleration. Besides that curiosity, I can say you have gained a subscriber. Thank you for your great video.
@@jgoncrzy4176 That’s a great update & we appreciate you sharing this. System is controlled electronically & when system detects shortage in oil pressure & feed, it will degrade performance. Hopefully a stress free enjoyable weekend ahead for you. Enjoy! 😎👍🔧🔩
@@davidseymour9934 Hey, I did the repair a year ago, more or less, and I have not had any issues with this piece thus far. It is still working great. I have had to change the Engine Valve Cover at 165K due to the PCV Valve failing, that took about 3 hours from the moment I opened my hood until the moment I closed it. That made the car run smooth, and all codes went away. Then at 170k I replaced the Water Pump since it was leaking, that took about 6 hours since I was doing it by myself and do not have any power tools, so everything was loosened by hand as well as tightened by hand (tedious, but it got the job done). Now the car continues to run like new, and all my repairs have been done in my driveway, so its still a win for me.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders you welcome I have a question I will appreciate your reply I have cheve aveo 2010 their is tiny micro hole on joint ( transmission and transfer case) I dried it with cloth 10 times and check 10 times ( that's exact point) when I start the car it start leaking ( leak is very very like mini mini 💧 coming out) making way to the ground by passing over from transmission fluid pan as that's is at the bottom Can you reply with my best cheapest options Plus is it ok to drive 4 to 5miles

Mike I have a question for you my 2015 Chevy Cruze makes like a grindering noise when you press the brakes going down a hill but it has new pads new rotors took the wheel off checked it all over and I don't see no evidence of why it's like a grinding noise it's driving me nuts I thought maybe my pads are getting bad or my rotors but there's no physical evidence about being bad so can you help me out or what it could be could it possibly be the caliper sticking
Some say to replace this line every 50k miles. A common turbo failure results when this line becomes clogged. Supposedly, high heat cause oil to degrade and cause deposits, which restricts oil flow. The added heat shield is a vailant effort, but have my doubts on its usefulness.

What about common oil leaks on the passenger side? Using oil like crazy. Just had to replace the serpentine belt. Have had the water pump replaced, valve cover gasket replaced recently.
@@kaylasmith2670 Thanks for watching, any update? Have you inspected the lower oil pan? The oil pan has the drain plug, which has a rubber seal. This rubber seal can fail and allow oil to leak out onto the ground. If the drain plug seal is still good, take a closer look a few inches up where the drain pan secures to the engine. There is a seal between the engine and oil pan, and if this seal fails, oil will leak onto ground on passenger side as well. 😎👍🧰
Thx for the video never though about this I was also gonna change the valve cover gasket because of an oil leak then I checked your video out and looked in my car the part was also leaking oil lol that’s what I get for buying a used car but thanks a lot for this video, keep up the amazing job you are doing 👍

you can get that part at A auto parts store cheaper then the GM part the bolt was different it's a oil cooler line that goes on the tubro Eco LT is what I have. There is a part behind the exhaust manifold that goes boy what a pain to change it drips on the exhaust.
Thank you for the video I just purchased this vehicle for my daughter we were having problems with the turbo it has been replaced the car smells like rubber from time to time in the inside and now she's complaining of smoke from the back what do you all think it could be
Excellent dear.. real profishnally way you are explaining.. I appreciate.. It is a helpful vedio for me Hope utube gives certain value for such people like you and crisfix and Scotty kelmer
My Chevy Trax 2017 is burning so much oil I can't see where the leak is nor can the shop I wasted 1100 on they said get a new turbo and engine but my car runs fine except going up steep hills and blows a lot of smoke sometimes with a nasty smell of burnt oil how many more miles can I roll 😊
Thanks for watching, that’s a bummer. It’s possible that you need a new turbo however, it’s also possible that your internal valve seals are leaking and allowing oil to sneak into combustion area where it is then burnt off and exhausted out of your exhaust pipe. When this happens, the oil quantity inside engine goes down with no signs of leaks. Please keep us posted and hey, if you are into crypto trading, visit our newly launched DIY ecosystem.

Any suggestions on removing the t-45 bolt that stripped out?? I have tried vice grips but no luck...next size t55 to hammer in, and I also tried hammering in a hex socket that was close to the t45.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. A thick rubber band placed on tip of bit may help. Below is a link to our video showing this with a screwdriver. th-cam.com/video/BbmlquGMxes/w-d-xo.html The rubber band adds extra grip. Keep us posted. 😎👍
so this is why the oil filter adapter gaskets leak on this engine and cause leaking issues around all the seals on oil cooler itself. I was thinking about doing the gasket kit and replacing all gaskets or is it better to just replaced the whole oil cooler? I see these cars also have issues with the valve cover diaphragm and intake manifold check valve.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders question for ya, left side of the engine from when you’re lookin the in the hood below the belt there’s some oil that’s leaked out would you say it’s valve cover seal? Cause I for sure need to replace it but I’m hoping that will stop the oil leaks thanks 👍🏽
@@DiamondNedFlanders Thanks for the reply & it’s very possible. Take a good look at the two solenoids on the left-hand side of your valve cover if you’re standing in front of the engine. See if you can see any signs of oil leaking from where the solenoid’s rest in place. Keep us posted.
Nice job in your explanation. one question thou, I noticed that the e 10 bolt on my car was lose so I tried to tighten it but it keeps turning without being tight, do you know what would be the cause.
Young Martins Thanks for watching. It’s sounds like it’s you have 1 of 2 things...broken bolt or stripped internal thread. Or it’s possible that the bolt is not properly aligned with the thread... not allowing it to grab a hold of the thread and feed in to tighten. Are you experiencing a leak? Hope the video helped.

Hi Michael. I am now having an oil leak, slowly, on the driver's side. I am going to attempt this repair. Thanks for making it so clear. My two questions are, how has it held up? Did you lubricate the gasket before installing it? Thank you!

I noticed my oil leaking from that location with big puddles. I thought it was the transmission fluid but its golden brown, so it's oil. I cleaned the area and noticed oil building up but couldn't tell where it was leaking out from. Now it makes sense, that's the exact spot where it's coming from. I'll replace this part as soon as I can.

Computer generated trim selecter will automatically detect that the chevy cruze LS comes with the non turbo 1.8 meaning this part would not be needed or compatible with that engine. So unless you have had an engine swap to the 1.4 you should never need this part.
Do you mind elaborating as much as possible on what you meant by saying save your turbo? I'm trying to diagnose if my turbo is good or bad. I just recently got a PVC valve malfunction that is covered by recall on my 2015 Chevy Cruze but idk about the turbo.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. This feed line provides oil to system & if leaking, it is not supplying required amount of oil to turbo...leading to turbo failing sooner. 😎👍
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders thanks so much for the reply cuz my car was over pressurizing and smoke was coming out the exhaust. I found a recall paper for PVC but idk if my turbo is done for..
Good morning & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. This is the Turbo oil feed. Not sure if it’s helpful but the part # is shown on packaging. It’s a very friendly part to replace. Keep us posted on your project. 😎👍🔧🔩
Please help! Mine sprays oil right above that area but only after I drive it. I don’t see any dripping while it’s not running or idling. Could the part in this video be malfunctioning like this? I thought it might be coming from the oil cap but now I don’t know. Any thoughts?
jmnexms Thanks for watching & it can definitely spray oil while engine is running. As the engine is running, can you see exactly where oil is leaking from? Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩
DIY With Michael Borders No. While it’s running I can’t see a leak at all. I even had someone rev it up a few times and still can’t see anything. But after I drive it around a little bit and pop the hood it has sprayed oil onto the valve cover etc and the inside of the hood. It pools on top of the transmission some. I think I might replace that part in the video since it’s not very expensive and probably do an oil change and see if that helps. If anyone has another idea I’d sure appreciate it. Thanks for getting back to me.
jmnexms Thanks for the update & it’s probably best to replace this part sooner rather than later to fix that oil leak. Hopefully this video will help you through the process. Keep us posted! 😎👍🔧🔩
DIY With Michael Borders After a weekend of pulling my hair out trying to figure out this leak my new oil cap that I’d ordered, just in case, came today. After installing it I drove it on the highway for about ten miles. So far no leaks. 🤷🏻♂️
Hey Mike I have Terrible engine leak, the auto shop says I have to pay a high bill but can you recommend any ways I can find out exactly Where the leak is?
Good morning & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Let’s get this figured. Best way to check for leaks is starting engine and allowing your engine to reach normal operating temperatures. As your engine warms up, your coolant system will begin to pressurize as designed. That added pressure can be used to your advantage as it will help pinpoint the leaking point or part. Be very careful not to let the HOT coolant touch you. Also, we have attached a link below that shows a leak that we experienced. th-cam.com/video/_mlf00TsE4k/w-d-xo.html Let’s start there. Keep us posted.
Noticed the leak today so I went and got the part on my way home threw the p0266 code for the turbo. I replaced the part and cleared the code. Hasn't came back on. Loss of that oil pressure could definitely ruin your turbo if left unchecked.
Charlie Coronado Thanks for watching & we hope you enjoyed the video. Those clamps can be tricky. Some people use pliers. AutoZone sells a handheld tool that is specifically designed to remove these clamps as well as reinstall clamps. Many more helpful videos to come! 😀 Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your TH-cam notification Bell 🛎 that would be awesome thanks again! 😎👍🔧🔩
Charlie Coronado that is the coolant return line. It bolts to the underside of the turbo. To replace the actual part you have to pull the turbo. I fixed it by cutting the crimped metal sleeve and replaced just the rubber hose and used double hose clamps.
@@kool-aidsphuckery9596 thank you for the reply that's exactly what I did. And only spent 2$ to fix it myself. And saved the part cost and maintenance costs...
Charlie Coronado keep an eye on it. I had one hose clamp on the end closest to the turbo but then replaced it with 2 hose clamps because it still dripped
best place to get parts now is rock Auto or 1A auto parts my front rotors on my car are life time warranty. pads and rotors where less then 100 dollars for my Cruze
Could this be the cause why my cruze seems to be spraying oil? I opened the hood due to lots of smoke and noticed in that area almost a puddle of oil and oil sprayed all over the upper part of the engine. Thank you!
is it okay if i delay the replacement for like another month. its already a month. will it affect the turbo? i dont see any oil on the ground as of now only oil smell and i can see oil in beneath the shield.
Thanks for watching, that will be personal preference. If it’s a slow leak, it’s best to get it fixed on your time as opposed to the leak getting worse and damaging your Turbo.
how did u figure that was the spot it was leaking from? I've got a chevy cruze 2013 has a leak and everytime I'm driving I get a big smoke coming from under the hood. I see oil but can't figure where it's coming from
You didn’t spray anything on there ? Like wd40 anything .. I just got a Cruze 2013 and already had to change the turbo oil feed line witch is an easy fix btw but if you got smoke your either over heating somewere …or you got oil and stuff burning off your engine
Micheal, was this a visible leak that made you replace this part? I a 2011 and when the car gets hot we get a burning smell in the car. Especially when the heat is on. Also wondering if I have a leak in the heater core and that's what I smell.
Hmm, after this video i must look under the heatshield by myself. The repair shop said i have a leaky oil cooler. Perhaps it is only this pipe and not the cooler. Oil drops direct on the connection from the catalystic converter to the next pipe. Greetings from Germany
Wow, my Cruze is a 2013 and it's just under 150,000 and it just started doing this. Although I've had to replace a lot of other things on it too. But my baby still runs.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. This should be more on the friendlier side. Our guess is between $100.00 - $150.00. Keep us posted on your project. 😎👍
Just pulled into the driveway & see smoke coming out. Oil dripping frequently from this front area. Checked the oil & it’s bone dry. No loss in power or running hot?! Any ideas on what it could be ?!
Pulled the heat shield today, put oil back in, & turned the engine on. Oil is coming out of the oil line from the turbo. It’s the connection on the right. I ordered another to replace it & should be in tomorrow. I’ll keep you updated!
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders it was the turbocharger oil line. The top O-Ring (right side) was completely dry rotted when I took it off. I proactively swapped this part Feb 2020 with the new version from Dorman before it leaked (got it off Amazon.) It lasted until Jan 2022. I could see a line of oil leading into my driveway. Lucky I wasn’t on the highway!
Be prepared to change the oil cooler that's behind the exhaust manifold what a pain in the butt it is to change it I change that and I had to change the oil coolant line that goes on top of the turbo for a 1.4 engine
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. The oils pan is different & located at very bottom of engine. If your oil pan is leaking, you will have oil drips on the floor underneath your engine on the side of your oil pan. You will also want to check your oil quantity inside your engine to ensure you’re not going low on oil. Hope this helps. Enjoy your night. 😎👍🔧🔩
It’s crazy I just replaced this you really could just put a new o ring on most the time for a dollar .. instead of buying a whole new part unless it totally messed up.. most time it the rubber o ring from the heat
I think I have a value cover gasket going smelling burnt oil coming into my vents when heat is on I have noticed very little oil leaking around the cover
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Do you see any oil leaking while engine is running? Is your oil fill cap properly installed & secured? Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩
I already regret buying this Cruze. A ton of problems and it only has 70k. Mostly leaks from poor engineering. Such good looking but garbage cars. I avoided GM for 22 years. My last GM cars were crap, too. This will be my last ever Chevrolet.

If you have the 1.4LT, your PCV valve might be going bad. There’s a repair kit on cruzekits.com, as well on some TH-cam videos on it. You can take your valve cover off and if you hear “whistling” or a sucking in air on the PCV. I’d also check to see if you have oil in with your coils. Could cause misfiring :)

GM changed the part # to 25200947. it only comes with one ring. Not 2, so I am going back to GM and buying another o ring that is part # 25198546. My local GM part store said this is how it should be 1 o ring but I do have space to add another so I plan to do so it look exactly like this part minis 1 ring .

I really like the car and I can say that if you stay ahead of the recommended maintenance schedule, you have a decent vehicle that can last a while. The thing I love most about mine is the timing Chain which Will hopefully last the life of the vehicle. The only other issues/maintenance that I’ve had so far are - getting the battery replaced in 2017, new brake pads front and rear, new tires at 70K, and 130K, and a small fender bender. Other than that it is great for road tripping! I guess I can also mention that I have a manual 6 speed transmission which still works like new. :) again, thank you for your upload!
Thanks for watching & we really appreciate you taking the time to share this. Sounds like you’ve learned a lot keeping up & ahead of you Cruze MX.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Hello again! So I went ahead and looked under the hood, and sure enough the Turbo Oil Feed Line was leaking where this video demonstrated it would. I was able to go to my local Chevy dealer and get the piece and repair it myself in one afternoon. This video helped tremendously and guiding me in doing the repair.
My immediate observation, and I’m not sure if you can verify this with others, but my car would sort of stutter on acceleration prior to doing the fix, but it was barely perceivable, enough for the driver to notice. After I installed the new piece, I no longer experienced any sort of stutter or delay in acceleration. I did not think that this piece would have that big of an effect since I thought that it was just how the car normally accelerated, and I’m curious to know how oil to the turbo would affect my acceleration.
Besides that curiosity, I can say you have gained a subscriber. Thank you for your great video.

That’s a great update & we appreciate you sharing this. System is controlled electronically & when system detects shortage in oil pressure & feed, it will degrade performance. Hopefully a stress free enjoyable weekend ahead for you.

How'd it go? I have seen this blob since 135K
@@davidseymour9934 Hey, I did the repair a year ago, more or less, and I have not had any issues with this piece thus far. It is still working great.
I have had to change the Engine Valve Cover at 165K due to the PCV Valve failing, that took about 3 hours from the moment I opened my hood until the moment I closed it. That made the car run smooth, and all codes went away. Then at 170k I replaced the Water Pump since it was leaking, that took about 6 hours since I was doing it by myself and do not have any power tools, so everything was loosened by hand as well as tightened by hand (tedious, but it got the job done).
Now the car continues to run like new, and all my repairs have been done in my driveway, so its still a win for me.
Superb video

Some say to replace this line every 50k miles. A common turbo failure results when this line becomes clogged. Supposedly, high heat cause oil to degrade and cause deposits, which restricts oil flow. The added heat shield is a vailant effort, but have my doubts on its usefulness.

What about common oil leaks on the passenger side? Using oil like crazy. Just had to replace the serpentine belt. Have had the water pump replaced, valve cover gasket replaced recently.
@@kaylasmith2670
Thanks for watching, any update? Have you inspected the lower oil pan?
The oil pan has the drain plug, which has a rubber seal. This rubber seal can fail and allow oil to leak out onto the ground.
If the drain plug seal is still good, take a closer look a few inches up where the drain pan secures to the engine.
There is a seal between the engine and oil pan, and if this seal fails, oil will leak onto ground on passenger side as well.

My Chevy Trax 2017 is burning so much oil I can't see where the leak is nor can the shop I wasted 1100 on they said get a new turbo and engine but my car runs fine except going up steep hills and blows a lot of smoke sometimes with a nasty smell of burnt oil how many more miles can I roll 😊
Thanks for watching, that’s a bummer. It’s possible that you need a new turbo however, it’s also possible that your internal valve seals are leaking and allowing oil to sneak into combustion area where it is then burnt off and exhausted out of your exhaust pipe.
When this happens, the oil quantity inside engine goes down with no signs of leaks.

so this is why the oil filter adapter gaskets leak on this engine and cause leaking issues around all the seals on oil cooler itself.

DIY With Michael Borders No. While it’s running I can’t see a leak at all. I even had someone rev it up a few times and still can’t see anything. But after I drive it around a little bit and pop the hood it has sprayed oil onto the valve cover etc and the inside of the hood. It pools on top of the transmission some.

Hey Mike I have Terrible engine leak, the auto shop says I have to pay a high bill but can you recommend any ways I can find out exactly Where the leak is?
Good morning & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Let’s get this figured.
Best way to check for leaks is starting engine and allowing your engine to reach normal operating temperatures. As your engine warms up, your coolant system will begin to pressurize as designed.
That added pressure can be used to your advantage as it will help pinpoint the leaking point or part. Be very careful not to let the HOT coolant touch you.
Also, we have attached a link below that shows a leak that we experienced.
th-cam.com/video/_mlf00TsE4k/w-d-xo.html
Let’s start there. Keep us posted.
Would this fix my oil pan gasket leak
Noticed the leak today so I went and got the part on my way home threw the p0266 code for the turbo. I replaced the part and cleared the code. Hasn't came back on. Loss of that oil pressure could definitely ruin your turbo if left unchecked.
Thanks for watching & sharing this, you are spot on, you don’t want to replace a turbo. 😎👍
Can you tell me how to remove the other line or hose that's right above it. The one that has the aluminum coil around it. Please

I believe its called oil line. Please and thank you
Charlie Coronado that is the coolant return line. It bolts to the underside of the turbo. To replace the actual part you have to pull the turbo. I fixed it by cutting the crimped metal sleeve and replaced just the rubber hose and used double hose clamps.
@@kool-aidsphuckery9596 thank you for the reply that's exactly what I did. And only spent 2$ to fix it myself. And saved the part cost and maintenance costs...

is it okay if i delay the replacement for like another month. its already a month. will it affect the turbo? i dont see any oil on the ground as of now only oil smell and i can see oil in beneath the shield.
Thanks for watching, that will be personal preference. If it’s a slow leak, it’s best to get it fixed on your time as opposed to the leak getting worse and damaging your Turbo.
how did u figure that was the spot it was leaking from? I've got a chevy cruze 2013 has a leak and everytime I'm driving I get a big smoke coming from under the hood. I see oil but can't figure where it's coming from
You didn’t spray anything on there ? Like wd40 anything .. I just got a Cruze 2013 and already had to change the turbo oil feed line witch is an easy fix btw but if you got smoke your either over heating somewere …or you got oil and stuff burning off your engine
Micheal, was this a visible leak that made you replace this part? I a 2011 and when the car gets hot we get a burning smell in the car. Especially when the heat is on. Also wondering if I have a leak in the heater core and that's what I smell.

If you have the 1.4LT, your PCV valve might be going bad. There’s a repair kit on cruzekits.com, as well on some TH-cam videos on it. You can take your valve cover off and if you hear “whistling” or a sucking in air on the PCV. I’d also check to see if you have oil in with your coils. Could cause misfiring :)

Gosh the cruze is such a nice lookin car but the engines are all lemons and chevy is totally aware of it but refuses to take responsibility and cover all the problems free of charge like they should. Instead they just stock up plenty of valve covers and intake manifolds to sell to owners.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Cruze owners are definitely replacing those parts during the time they own the vehicle. Let us know if you have any questions. Enjoy your day.

GM changed the part # to 25200947. it only comes with one ring. Not 2, so I am going back to GM and buying another o ring that is part # 25198546. My local GM part store said this is how it should be 1 o ring but I do have space to add another so I plan to do so it look exactly like this part minis 1 ring .
