I would've used new tubes all around. I'd also recommend getting the oil cooler replaced since the turbo is off. Those are also known to leak because the gaskets in them go bad as well.
Thank you for your videos. I was able to change this out thanks to your step by step instructions. Fuel pump is next. Any videos on that?? Thanks again!!!
100 years of building cars and still can't get it right, this car is the biggest pos ive ever seen. And then they have the gall to announce they're gonna build electric vehicles. I don't know how GM isn't embarrassed.
You have ZERO knowledge of cars then. Because the Cruze is NOT even close to being the biggest pos ever. VW and Chrysler have that down pat...my Cruze runs phenomenal, 205k on the clock and it leaks oil but runs like a dream. I've owned and fixed and sold all kinds of different cars and brands. VWs are the biggest piles of trash ever made. But remember this, EVERY car had issues. Every car has its own problems...to call a car a POS because of leaks is ridiculous. Any factory turbo car will leak. It's part of how it is. Even Bugatti Veyrons leak.
Ive worked on all sorts of cars, ive had my cruze since new, done more maintenance than most people ever dream and still i had just about every single part of this car fail at least 1x. Im on my 4th turbo Yes i replaced the cam cover and intake with new dorman parts. They still crack. Biggest pos i ever had the embarrassment of owning. These cars need to be owned by legit mechanics to keep them running. Only reason mine is still on the road. Chevys biggest fail. I hate this engine.
I just done a 2015 Chevy trax, the ac is totally in the way of the coolant line that required a 17 MM socket. The only way to get that 17mm was with a open end wrench. ....what a major pain.
If anyone does this job, dont buy dorman exhaust studs. They are too long to use with those copper nuts they include. Use you oe studs or if you ruined those, buy new gm oem studs. Dorman and other brands just dont work with the copper nuts they include. They are all ¼" too long. Dorman sent these too long studs all 3x i replaced their garbage turbos. 300 miles and cracked turbo, 1200 miles shaft failed. Stay clear of dorman turbos.
Hello, I just finished this job over the weekend and I think it went well...no leaks. However, after my initial test drive, I brought it back to my garage and parked it for a second (shutting it off) before putting it back up on my ramps to check for leaks and such. When I got the ramps in place and started the car to drive up on them, the check engine light came back on. So I was wondering, after replacing the exhaust manifold and turbo on 2014 chevrolet cruze, does it need to be recalibrated or should I just give it a few drives to see if the computer makes any changes? By the way, the original turbo was certainly the problem, it had a large crack in the waste gate side and the propeller did not move very freely.
Thanks for this great video. Did you happen to notice that the bracket shown at 13:28 later, simply disappeared without any mention? Did you also notice that some of those clean, new manifold nuts seen at 15:15 suddenly became old and dirty at 15:44 for some reason? That bracket seen at 13:28 never did get put back in the car. Why. When I was young I was always told to start and even hand tighten every fastener on an object BEFORE torqueing any of them so that the attached part doesn't have to be shoved into place under the final bolt, storing lots of damaging stress. Doing so is exactly what causes cracked welds and subsequent leaks. like the oil lines and the way the guy pried the CAT over so he could connect it to the turbo. This can very easily result in a cracked weld, exhaust leak and P0420 code down the road. He should've loosened the CAT mounting brackets a little first then retightened them last. That's what you would definitely want to do for your own property or any equipment that has to be reliable.
I found this walk thru after watching the car wizards latest video. For what it's worth, this looks like a job best started at daybreak, but otherwise not nearly as horrible as it sounds.
My old turbo has 3 thin manifold gaskets but new turbo kit comes with one. I think this video shows the same. Why were there 3 originally and is just the one sufficient?
There is a online with a decent size black plastic peice on the end of it the goes to the bottom of the turbo U didn't have it in ur video.wondering why
Had a oil leak in my 2014 Chevy Cruze sent it to the shop and they did this but oil still leak from my Chevy Cruze now I have to take to another mechanic to find why oil leak still so the Turbo replacement was not the issue but I still had to pay the bill and still got the oil leak

I would recommend removing the front catalytic converter to give you easier access to removing the lower oil return line bolts.

Obviously this is job security.
Do I need to drain the antifreeze before I start on turbo
Thank you so much for sharing this video. My wife and I just changed the turbo on a 2015 Cruze LTZ. Thank you.
+@JoseGarcia-si5ms Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Where was all of the oil leaking from? The oil cooler?

Which turbo do you recommend for this vehicle? Oem part is expensive, dealer wanted $2300 for the repair with new feed pipe and return pipe.

How many hours is this job charged for?
Do you have to drain the coolant before beginning this job? Or just try and catch it...?
can you please make a video on how to detach the turbo from the exhaust manifold?
+Wolfoz Roblox We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Nice to see a cruze with its under panels still intact, I just have the front few covering the radiator😆
seems like it's been leaking a lot of oil
excelent video, thanks for share
Thanks im bout to change the turbo oil return pipe too
13:24 you can see the turbo install is complete and he forgot to install this part
this is why you never see it again for the rest of the video, ha ha
What size nuts did you use to install stud bolts???
Im doing this on my cruze and that oil line i cannot screw in for the life of me. I checked and the thread is fine but i cant get that hose to go in.
My old turbo has 3 thin manifold gaskets but new turbo kit comes with one. I think this video shows the same. Why were there 3 originally and is just the one sufficient?
Does anyone know the stud size
Sorry, how much torque did you use?
There is a online with a decent size black plastic peice on the end of it the goes to the bottom of the turbo
U didn't have it in ur video.wondering why
I didn't wanna do this before watching. After watching I *Really* don't wanna do this....
Any chance the manifold will come off without taking out the turbo?
I'm getting a under boost and rich code after installing new turbo
Had a oil leak in my 2014 Chevy Cruze sent it to the shop and they did this but oil still leak from my Chevy Cruze now I have to take to another mechanic to find why oil leak still so the Turbo replacement was not the issue but I still had to pay the bill and still got the oil leak
You only removed 3 frm d botton i waned to see how u did d 4th
Did you put the studs in backwards, I tried this and the bolts wouldn't fit
What is the hose at 0:36
Easy stuff. Just need the tools.
Does anyone know what turbo is best for this car? Should I just go with original GM?
I’ve heard Garrett brand is good
I hate this so much the 17 when installing I’ve been stuck on just the 17 for a day and a half I already took it off it doesn’t wanna go into the hole
Fix the oil leak lol gonna put an engine in it!
Sorry why you remplase .
By which code coming.
Thank you.
