Great video, thank you. Good camera angles and straight to the point.
Hi!
New Subscriber here!
What is the name of the hose right above the alternator in your video, near the belt? That needs to be replaced also on my 2011 while replacing the belt 🥴. That one busted on me and what looked like coolant, was everywhere 😞.
Thanks!
It is pretty common for the tensioner spring to break off when removing the tensioner? I took mine off and I started on the bolt at the bottom spring park. And it shot off and broke. Did I do it wrong?

I just installed a new tensioner and I'm not able to release the tension to get the new belt on. I'm not surprised by that part because I don't have a lot of leverage or weight to put behind it, but is there a way around that? Another method of getting the belt on without having to find someone to loosen the tension for me? Thanks!

I replaced the belt on mine and it shredded again a week later but it was smoking first how do i figure out which one wasn't spinning and creating that friction?

Did you replace the tensioner?
@@Jpcar1984yea I replaced the valve cover yesterday actually with the right torque sequence and inch lb torque. It’s still leaking I’m getting smoke from somewhere between my passenger side headlight and the turbo.
@@Jpcar1984it only smokes after reaching operating temp when I drive it a while when the engines cold it drives perfectly fine.
@@troysmith3713 Not a mechanic, but I just recently did a fix for a P0171 fix on my Cruze 2011 LTZ Turbo, with the catch can, new intake manifold and custom bypass. I had blown my pcv hose, intake manifold rubber seal and finally valve cover started whistling. All this just to say i'm familiar with a valve cover. You said you did a valve cover replacement recently, did you add gasket silicone to the 3 spots of the valve cover? I had a leak as well, but what I found out was my previous service center never added gasket silicone to the top, bottom and mid grab points near and around the bolts and I was leaking oil. There are gap points found on the metal on top and bottom on the left side where the bolts are where gasket silicone is required. Have you checked if this is where your leak is from?
This is of course unrelated to the your belt situation. From one Cruze owner to the next, hope this helps or you find a solution to the issue.
To make a good video maybe next time video what the problem is.
