I'm French, I did not find a tutorial to change my diesel filter on my Chevrolet Cruze.
Your video is well explained, thank you.
To reduce mess there is a drain plug on the bottom that can be opened first. then as you remove the houseing the fuel will come out the bottom hole. I had to tap mine a few times to get the fuel to come out the drain plug hole. this will also empty all the fuel out of the housing to avoid spillage if tipped when removing the houseing from the vehicle. Be carefull when tightening as the mount for the filter housing seems weak and could break. Does not need tourqed on really tight, the o-ring on the houseing does the sealing. Great video. I always need a reminder on which side the filter is on since I only need to do this every 3 years.
nice!! I have one more complimentary sevice at chevy, after that I'm on my own. $169 for fuel filter change is to much. keep vids coming.
K R - That is crazy expensive!!
Ugh... IDK how much my dealer wants to charge but as easy as this dude made it look, I'm a give a go on my own.
$185 here in Socal smdh
Great video. It's funny, this is the same filter on my 2017 Duramax.
RC4X4 - That's crazy!
I know. I was stunned when I looked it up. Mine is at 76% and only 6 miles on the truck. I have a new one coming for when I need to change it. How is the cruze though on diesel? We have a 2014 1.8l that my daughter drivers. Great car.
@@RC4X4 - We love the Cruze diesel. It gets around 50 mpg on the highway and around 40 mpg in town. Lots of power too!
Nice video about to attempt it myself. Thanks for the video.
robert courson - Thank you!
Awesome thank you!
thanks
Thanks man. Perfect video
smcloar - Thanks!
Hi bro my Cruze ltz at vcdi 2013 model , generate error (code 54) what's the problem plz help
Wonderful video.. Sir
Arpit2300 sharma - Thank you!
How long did it take to fill up that catch pan with all that fuel ?
And thanks for the video... saves me time to go hunt for this filter :D
speadfreakmax - It took about 5 minutes to fill that catch pan up. Be careful to not get any debri in that new filter when installing. Thanks for watching!
I bought the 36 mm socket and a highly-rated impact wrench. It took about an hour to finally get the housing removed, even with the 300 ft./lbs. wrench rating. The filter was dirty-ish looking but hard to know if it was simple staining vs actual sediment. The housing went on much more quickly and somehow tightened to a further point than it was to begin with (I marked the starting point before getting started). It was a ton of work and since my 2018 cruze wasn't acting up, wondering if it was worth all the fuss. Have any of you diesel cruze owners had problems after not changing the filter?
D B - Fuel filter changes are very important for diesel fueled vehicles, since diesel fuel is actually dirty compared to gasoline. If you let your fuel filter go, the contaminates in the fuel will eventually reach the injectors and potentially clog/ruin them. You're fuel mileage will suffer from poor injector performance as well. It was definitely worth your time and effort to change that filter! Good job.
@Wolfgang von lichtenstein oh, i doubt there's anything pristine w/ our fuel here, (except the price which i say sarcastically lol)
@Wolfgang von lichtenstein as far as i know, it's made up of only byproducts of crude oil (plus ethanol if gasoline). in the UK they mix vegetable oil in w/ your diesel?
I don't know about the ole premium guard filter tho? GM #13539108 or AC Delco TP1015 is the way to go.
Bill Bear - Thanks for the comment. I've since changed this filter a few times and I did end up going with the AC Delco brand. The premium guard filter worked fine though.
Anyone knows when Do I need to reemplaze fuel filter of Diésel Chevrolet Cruze 2014 ???thank you very much !!!
Mauricio Cornejo - Look on the DIC (Drivers Information Center) which is located directly in front of the steering wheel. It's the little screen in-between the speedometer and tachometer. Select the options tab by using the menu button on the turn signal lever. Once you are looking at the options tab, then you can cycle through by using the up or down arrow switch on the same turn signal lever. You will see your oil life, fuel filter life, etc. I hope that this helps you.
Jeez, he sure made this look easy, when I tried to simply unscrew the fuel filter housing the whole fucking filter fell off
Jake spoone - The whole housing fell off? That's crazy.
My fuel filter was on so tight that I had to remove the filter housing from the car and put it in a vise to be able to unscrew the filter housing. When installing the new filter I only tighten the filter housing just a bit so next time it will unscrew while still mounted to the car.
Same problem, that plastic slide piece that holds the housing is garbage design, luckily the fuel lines unsnap easily, I had to pull whole housing to unscrew mine as well
Do you know if the 15' chevy cruze LT has a fuel filter?
It's located in the tank and isn't serviceable unless you need to drop the tank. It's supposed to last the life of the vehicle.
Thank you
j DoGG - You're welcome!
Pro tip: You only have to cycle the key once, just don't turn the engine over until the pump quits cycling.
Bill Bear - I had to cycle mine a few times because the fuel pump would quit running. I could still hear that there was some air in the lines.
@@Corysdiyauto have you ever had any po171 codes?
@@supporterofeverythingyouli6255 - No, I haven't...... knock on wood! Haha
@@Corysdiyauto okay just wondering I have a customer that has this car and comes in from time to time with this code.
@@supporterofeverythingyouli6255 - Could be a dirty sensor? These things get coated up with soot over time on these diesels and sometimes just cleaning them up and reinstalling them fixes it. Just an idea.
I have a question about the gasoline filter, for a Chevy Cruze eco tech LS 1.8L 2014? Is the fuel filter in the same area?
Yes, it is in the same area.
@@Corysdiyauto The are is a box looks a little different from a 2014 Chevy Cruze diesel engine. I have a gasoline 1.8 l 2014 Chevy Cruze.
So, I am not familiar with that set-up, but I assume you have removed the protective splash shield and have located the fuel filter housing?
Is this the same process for the non Diesel Cruze?
FTWRogueE - No, the gas version just has a pickup screen in the tank that you shouldn't have to worry about.
@@Corysdiyauto ohh great, i was looking for the filter. thanks for the info.
What do you mean pick up screen!? I have 2015 chevy cruze eco do I need replacement?
Gerardo Mendoza - Sorry for the late reply. The pickup screen is supposed to be good for the life of the vehicle. It prevents debris from getting sucked up into the fuel pump and pushed through the rest of the system. It's located in the gas tank along with your fuel pump. The fuel pump will probably fail before you ever have to worry about that pickup screen getting clogged. The Cruze diesel is the only model with a fuel filter.
Will this work on a 2016 chevrolet cruze lt, is this the same fuel filter
This applies only to the 1st generation diesel models (2014-2015). I don't believe that the Cruze came with a diesel option in 2016.
How did you brace the filter so that it didn't twist out of the mounting bracket well you were breaking the seal?
nyc white - You don't need to brace anything while you loosen the filter housing, just simply unscrew it.
@nyc white - That's never happened to me before. Maybe someone overtightened it last time it was changed? You might have to get another set of hands to help you hold it.
@@Corysdiyauto I did eventually get the lid to come loose. It took wedging something in there to brace it from moving. Appreciate the guidance and subsequent input.
@@nycwhite7271 - I'm glad that you got it!
Where in the world did you get a diesel Cruze at?
Rob B - I actually bought this one used on Craigslist, but Chevrolet stopped making them back in 2019 I believe. The first model year was in 2014.
Holy shit your at 72k an I'm at 79k an 22% left of fuel filter life 🤔 do you do a lot of highway driving?
David A - The Cruze is my wife's car and yes she does a lot of driving. I feel like I'm always changing the oil! Haha
@@Corysdiyauto lol shit is expensive
Cory Mondics How do you look at the fuel filter life on the screen
@@Gabriel.4190 on the turn signal indicator there is a menu button you can press until your on the options screen and then you can rotate the wheel next to the menu button till it says fuel filter
Mercy cory i think that thing needs a new battery 😆
OGMoneyStaxxx - The car has a good battery. There was a little air in the fuel line and that's why it took longer than normal to start.
Cory Mondics Do you know if that air works itself out and that there’s no chance it will need bled in any type of way
@@Gabriel.4190 - Sorry for the late reply, but that air works itself out within a few seconds of startup. I should've filled the filter housing up with more fuel before I installed it.
Cory Mondics I changed it, but ended up getting bad fuel literally a couple days later. My insurance would only tow it to the dealer to be fixed so I ended up paying to have it done twice, shitty situation.
@@Gabriel.4190 - Aw man that's too bad. Hopefully that doesn't happen again!
Will all the diesel in the tank be drained out when the filter is removed?
xXxAsinineNameXx - You don't have to worry about the fuel in the tank being drained. The fuel in the filter housing is the only thing that gets drained.
@@Corysdiyauto Thanks
position by Chevrolet orlando ls???
I don't understand your question?
@@Corysdiyauto searching the position on my Chevrolet orlando ls, but not found the Place
I believe that it's in the same location under the car, near the fuel tank. You'll have to remove the cover to access it.
@@Corysdiyauto no, no cover, no filter by tank
@@stevestevens480 - Do you have the diesel engine? What year?
That 18mm screw in the middle is a drain. Remove that first
Jesse Turner - Yes, I didn't do that the first time, but I do it now.
