Thank you my friend. You're a life saver! Had to change the starter on my dad's car and your video walked us through taking the manifold off because we couldn't get to the bolt. Keep up the good work!
Does the 1.8L intake manifold have the little orange thing that cause engine problems? I have a 2013 cruze 1.8L. I have to change my pcv in the valve cover. I just want to make sure if i do or do not have to change my intake as well. I undersatnd they are both connected issues in the 1.4L... but not enough information on if it is the same for the 1.8L. Please help me.
Can you update the video to show that this method of removal will NOT work on 1.8 Chevy sonic. Only way to remove the intake manifold on that model is to remove the drive shaft and drop from bottom. Learned this the hard way..
@@jimmyclaar8111 same mechanics like engine but the body is different. The sonic doesn't give enough clearance through the top of the engine so the way your supposed to do it is you have to drop the drive shaft and remove from the bottom. You can technically with the help of a friend, remove from the top by loosening the engine mount bolts, pull the engine toward you while someone pulls the manifold out from behind but like I said that's not the way your supposed to lol.
@@christyjeter1560 no, actually the car shown in the video is a Chevrolet Cruze like stated in the title. The Cruze and Sonic are nearly identical with a few cosmetic changes to the body. Such as in this example, the Cruze has more clearance in the engine bay allowing the manifold enough room to be removed from the top. The sonic has less space to work with so the manual tells you to remove it from underneath the car which is obviously more difficult.
Thank you so much for posting this. I am doing this job for someone right now. I was hoping that the cylinder head would come out with the intake attached. Maybe it can? Looks like I could remove the 2 boats from underneath, and it might would come out with the cylinder head.
Why don’t you remove the fuel rail? I’m about to replace the intake manifold on my car so I’m making a list of procedures, tools, materials, and parts I’ll need. I’ve seen others replace the o-rings from the fuel injectors after they pull the rail. Best procedure to do is always replace o-rings after breaking that seal. I do HVAC/R work, little plumbing, electrical, mechanical and refrigeration. If anyone has done this can you reply with issues and road unos you may have occurred during this replacement. Also good things to do while having the intake out, such as replacing hoses or sensors while I’m opening up.
9:30 "always use gloves guys when yr touching coolant, its very poisonous, I'm not wearing gloves, but always use gloves" .... "okay, don't do this other thing like I'm doing either" Basically just let me show you how not to do any of this.
I just did this replacement, and this video was extremely helpful, but i did not drain the coolant. Took off the coolant overflow hose from the reservoir side and rotated it out of the way then disconnected the pcv line from the valve cover, loosened all the bolts on the throttle body and with the air intake tube disconnected from the air filter box the throttle buddy rotated out of the way.
Can you show how to remove the intake manifold but on a chevy Sonic that shit is hard to take off 😂😂it is literally way to tight I can't seem to find any videos on chevy sonics 🤷🤷

i love how you guys dont edit out the struggle of getting stuff out so then your audience knows more of what to expect
I’m blown away while working on my Sonic 1.8 by how stupidly hard it is to work on. I’m never getting another car with an engine bay that small.
I hear ya I kinda getting to hate mine also
Wow ! That has got to be the most difficult starter to replace that I have ever seen.
Good Job
This is not the starter. This is the intake manifold.

Best vídeo ever seen of how to remove the intake of a Chevrolet. Thanks man
I'm doing the head gasket on my 2014 1.8 Sonic. This was very helpful.
Thank you yall have saved me alot of money
Thanks for sharing

If removing the alternator. What connections on the intake manifold can I remove ? Without removing it all

Does this apply TO changing a sonic LS
I'm wondering, why does every single cable and wire have its own unique connector mechanism, it drives me nuts
Me to
So you don't plug in something to the wrong spot that much is actually good
This vehicle won’t burn oil when the intake gasket is bad will it?
I'm going to do that soon thanks.
Any videos on head removal I may have bent a valve and want to remove the head
over a 100k get a used motor
Hi,
in Canada this is covered under warranty; check it out

This looks expensive, glad mine was covered under warranty recently !
Zachary Nolte it’s costing me $1200 at the dealership at the moment FML😭😭😭😭😭
@@jrgunman904 intake manifold is a ~$120 part.
@@_Brohan labor
@@zoomjoo i know, it's ridiculous. I just replaced mine and it was not nearly 1080 bucks worth of labor.

THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO DRAIN THE ENGINE COOLANT. NOT SURE WHAT THIS GUY WAS THINKING.............
Explain why

Your a fuckin professional love u dude
For 2012 chevy sonic 1.8 it's a little more harder yes engine mount needs remove ok also top winshield cover ok .
Where's the video for 1.4 engine with turbo
Can you show how to remove the intake manifold but on a chevy Sonic that shit is hard to take off 😂😂it is literally way to tight I can't seem to find any videos on chevy sonics 🤷🤷
They have the same engine.
I need a video on how to remove the whole cylinder head
get a used motor !
my god , take the motor mount loose and pull the motor over
Good friend
Is that English my guy is speaking? That accent is hard
To other mechanics watching. This was a total waist of time and steps
what tips you got? im doing this soon as well
This is not accurate. The 1.8 require the drive shaft to be removed to remove the manifold from the bottom of the vehicle.
$1200 at your local Chevrolet dealership 😭😭😭
40 bucks at a junkyard with warranty
@@AndresMelenaJr and it will be junk with a broken intake tunning valve
