Turn up your volume guy!
WHAT!!!!
replaced mine today it stopped the horrible burnt smell from coming in side the car! thank you so much would have never known!!
Replaced that oil feed tube along with the turbo and coolant lines at 213k miles on my 12 Cruze. On higher milage cars be ready for the banjo bolt to break off in the turbo housing when you try to remove it.
I had a leak in the same area. Thank God no check engine light. My friend cleaned around the area, and installed the new part. The old part had worn rubber. There's no burning smell anymore.
I had the same issue "worn rubber and her name is Kayle" beautiful baby girl. thanks for the video good explanation.
I instantly needed to put in headphones for this guy's Channel
Me too!! Lol
My wife purchased 2015 chevy cruze LT turbo 7 years ago. Had 30,000 miles on it. The turbo went out around the 55,000 mile mark. It was covered by warranty. Ive had to replace hoses for antifreeze leaks ect. The car is at 160,000 miles and this is leaking. I will be replacing this today. My wife said she smelled burnt oil smell. I popped hood and saw smoke coming from area with a little oil sitting below. Im about 99.9% its this. We keep maintenance on car up ever since ive been working on the car myself we haven't had many problems.
My 11 Eco has 240K and is leaking oil in so many places. Thanks for the video. This car just requires too much maintenance. I drive 1,120 miles a week.
Welcome to the channel! Today's episode is brought to you by increasing the volume
my bad, volume was probably down on my computer when I reset the volume. trying to get rid of some of the background hissing that is associated with some mircophones.
can't even watch it on phone unless u have a good speaker to hook it up to :(
You sound like an exceptionally smart guy. In an interview, I would hire you on the spot. Most people don't realize that raw intelligence counts for A LOT!!!
thank you so much for this video i have the same issue at 94k miles and it took me 15 minutes to fix after finding this video
I have the same issue at the moment and I've been trying to figure out. This video helped me a lot thanks!
@guided one Personally I don't think replacing the line would fix the issue since it is only an oil feed line. I only had a problem with oil leaking into the engine bay from it. I didn't have and performance or boost loss.
Excellent video. I always appreciate proper lighting and complete explanations. You provided both. Thanks.
I see new one has heat shield. Big aluminum heat shield looks like it reflects heat right back at that area. Heat Shield for Exhaust might be just for safety. It in Phoenix AZ 120 F out side stop and go, 1/2 hour wait of crawling to get on freeway. My Cruze just started to leak at 60K. Should be a re-call. Blows out while driving and do not see in time and there goes you turbo or worst you engine too. Thanks for video.
TURN YOUR VOLUME DOWN AT END OF VIDEO BEFORE NEXT VIDEO COMES UP. DONT BLOW YOUR SPEAKERS!
Right I had to keep turning up thought I had the sound turned up. Tks for reminder😀
Great video my Cruze was leaking oil from that area and i was confused where it was coming from..
Jungleking, awesome video and info. I am doing mine this week. Had me VERY worried til I watched your video. Great job.
Good to know mine isn't the only one that makes that annoying clicking sound
What do you expect with a 1.4 producing almost 140hp?
Great video, you just hit it right on the nail,i got the same issue with my 2011 Chevy cruze,got the same leak on the same spot,iam just about to order the parts,thanks!!!
Good Video, Tools and everything needed. Thanks. Might as well put a heat shield on that tube. Since it goes right under the hot exhaust with in inches.
So I just bought a 2011 Cruze for my daughter that has that same problem. The lady who we bought it from took $1000 off blue book price cause her mechanic told her that it's a $60 part and it would cost $400 in labor. Glad I found this video before I took it to that mechanic she has been using. I wonder what else he has ripped her off on.
Did you solve It ?
@@BS-fz8td yes simple fix
I fix today and I Hope to have fixed my leak problem and error P0299
Exactly what I was looking for thanks!
Good Video, just had to download the video though cause the natural volume on the video was really quiet when talking. (Turned on Loudness Equalization) Perfect and can hear it all now :)
Sir. Thank you for the knowledge, very well done.
Your car has a high pitch rattling noise at the end of the video have you figured that out?..because mine is doing the same thing now.
I have the same oil leak and my chavy makes the same noise as your , should replace the oil line or buy a new underboost ? Thanks
My uncle and i changed out the head valve gasket it was 5 years old. But today check to see if it stopped the leak. Im noticing a small pocket of oil setting in that crevice under the oil feed line. This my problem?
If it's the spot where I pointed to in the beginning explanation, then most likely yes.
That slinky looking cover on the rubber hose with the clamp is leaking where it’s clamped. Is there a way to put a new piece of hose on that coolant line
Did you ever get an answer Robert for your question? I have the same problem
No, it is rubber hose to hardline hose connected via crimp fitting. You have to take the turbo off to replace it because it is behind the turbo
I snipped the end and stretched it and reclamped. If it fails I’ll just put a metal tee and add hose. Thank you!
Yeah, you just carefully cut the crimp and then attach a piece of heater hose with fuel injection clamps.
Is there a way to tell if this part is bad? I haven't noticed a leak but I do have loss of power
Loss of power would be something else.
Nice video, I’m just browsing around Cruze videos since my wife says I can do some upgrades soon. Lol.
A question... Friend has a 2013 Chevy Cruz . took to her mechanic because water hose had a spot that looked ready to leak. While there he discovered a hose leading to motor guess something to do with turbo. Had to lift motor to get to the hose that needed replacing.???? Did it1
Hey when you install the pipe into the oil cooler, did yours have a plastic filter kind of thing in it? My new oil cooler came with one and I thought it was like a dust cover that I pulled out. I never ended up putting it back in and I can't imagine it being much of an issue? I still have it and if it ought to be in there let me know? Awesome!
I have 2010 holden cruze , i feel oil burning smell inside the car, is it because of lekage from the same thing ( what you mentioned in the video) because there is also some oil leakage underneath the engine
I have the same leak....will this give the p0299 code as well with the same symptoms as a cracked turbo? Loss of power, rough running?
It could if the leak is bad enough and starved the turbo of oil to the point of failure. I haven't gotten any codes or power loss issues myself yet.
please tell me how you are getting 41mpg on average?
That was round trip to a family gathering out of town. Mainly highway driving, using cruise control as much as possible. During normal commutes to and from work I get anywhere between 36-38mpg.
@@jungleking007Channel nice work! my in town average is usually 26 - 29.
What is the hose called above the one your working on? It has the heat guard metal around it. That's where mine is leaking.
That is your turbo coolant feed line.
great job and very helpfully video thank you
Did the vehicle have very little power when it was making this noise? My car has lost power and the dealership is trying to charge me 1,600 for a new turbo. Much appreciated
I did not see any loss in power from when I started seeing the leak to after the repair. Was trying to be proactive to save my turbo from failure.
Hey, brother did your issue got fixed? I'm having the same issue with my 2013 Cruze, it doesn't have very much power anymore. DK if is the turbocharger or just this part.
A little weasel piss goes a long way!! Thank for the video.
Friends, the scanner gives me code p0299. I removed this part and seems like one of the o rings is a little worn out. Will this be the issue or will it be the actual turbocharger assembly? TIA
probably the turbocharger if this code is showing, but it could be another supporting component such as the wastegate or a vacuum line somewhere. I would suggest reading a couple forums on the subject and see where it takes you. actual issue may vary depending on symptoms you are experiencing. Good Luck!
Alfredo garci I'm getting the same problem same code. This video help you. was that the problem?
I got under boost and over boost codes from mine. Replaced turbo.
i have a friend with same issues looks like its the wastegate binding tried to lube it but it gets to hot n burns it off may need to replace the whole turbo
Cant hear you hardly at all !!!!
What is that hose right above the one you took off that’s a little bigger with the silver lining around it I think mine is leaking coolant from there.
Same for me, Did you find a way?
Me to I need to fix mine ASAP I got the part don’t no how to fix it doe it’s a dealer only part gotta go to Chevy to purchase it
Yes it’s the turbo coolant return hose pipe. Do not take it to the dealer unless you have warranty on it or have hundreds or dollars to fork out. Mine was actually just loose , so I took the heat guard off it’s like 3 bolts and you can see the hose better. Tightened it back up and put a little clamp on it. It doesn’t leak anymore. But the turbos in these cars still worry me . A lot of people say they are junk,along with other parts that are made to break. I would buy both parts and watch this video and other videos and try and do it yourself. If not find someone who can help you. Or take it to a local Mechanic you can trust. Is your car overheating mine was just a steady drip, and I would make sure the car had coolant at all times before I found the leak.
Damian T thanks bro, you help a lot.
It can’t save your turbo I swap it before one year and before 1 month my turbo has been cracked. The only way is to swap the wastegate aculator and pray for good .
This cause the problem
Great video! ordered the parts for my Cruze to repair myself.
Gud video exelent my Chevy cruze needs work
Lmao same
We have a 2012 cruze lt 1.4 turbo. It just kicked out a 0299 code turbo underboost. Could this line kick out that code?
If it becomes blocked, potentially. But I would suggest watching this video. He goes into great detail about the code and causes:
ua-cam.com/video/TPUiI7ytQ2c/v-deo.html
Make sure your pcv on your vavle cover is not sucking air. That and intake manifold check valve isnt missing. Searching both on cruzetalk will get you answers. I had this code and host of others and had to replace intake manifold and valve cover. Fixed my issues though.
Look into the intake manifold pcv valve work around on here. It will throw the under boost code even though turbo is fine. I found that running the highest octane gas(93 in my case) also helps these things run much better. I know the gas price sucks, but it will save you money in the end! I've learned so much about these vehicles. They can be a good car one you know the proper fixes. I now have 142400 miles and still going strong. 2011 chevy cruze 1.4L turbo.
@@chrissnyder3430 agreed...I think the Cruze gets a rather bad wrap for some *fairly* simple fixes. Got my 2012 with 120k on it a few years back and it now has 267k on it and still going...time for a cpl of fixes though.
@@chrissnyder3430 chris did your car have an issue with the PC valve? I've also heard of the o ring on the oil return line leaking causing it to suck air and throw the low boost code.
Chevy cruze. Every 3 months u have to fix it.😒😒😒😒
Story of my life. Water pump replaced, radiator reservoir replaced, turbo inlet line, pcv valve cover, still leaking oil can't figure out where.
@@slploudmouth check oil pan
I’ve replaced the PCV cover 3 times. A mom/pop shop did it the first time, three months later I took it to Chevy, then the third time I did it with my father. Still leaks oil and we’ve got an annoying chirping sound. Now we’re looking at the turbo system to see what in the hell is going on. It has 152,000 miles.
@@slploudmouth probably leaking from the gasket of the valve cover that were mine was leaking from and it kinda hard to see if it just seeping thru
Correct
i fixed with 10nm is that normal?
Does anyone have p2261 code????
Yes, that's a Turbocharger Bypass Valve: Mechanical code. Mine threw this code a few weeks ago, turned out it was just a couple bad vacuum hoses on the backside of the intake manifold. Always check your vacuum hoses before you do anything expensive!
I had the engine light come on, the code p2099(turbo issue), it goes on and off, i have only 86,400 miles on it, so would replacing this part fix that issue?
If your cruze is leaking oil from that line, of couse you gotta replace that line, in case it is not, you need to check your turbo!
Did you replace the part? If so, was that the cause of Code P0299?
How much liters leak oil?
What is the code you got before you replaced this part. I'm currently getting a turbo charger underboost code. I'm actually getting mind oil leaks as well.
No code, just a leak.
Please, does anyone know what the black plastic part on the turbo where the small diameter pcv hose connects to.? It has 3 - t30 bolts connecting it. The plastic nipple broke off and have no idea to search for that part without the name.
Recirculation valve
Going to be looking at my 2012 chevy cruze 1.4L later, thanks! super dumb question, but did you need to drain your oil to do this prior to pulling it out?
Oil does not need to be drained, however make sure motor is cool to the touch before starting. Thanks for watching!
Does it work?
Can't hear you.
Hey nice video. I have 2012 cruze 1.4 turbo it makes a ticking noise from turbo and has the same oil leak you had. In your video it sounds similar to mine and after replacing cant hear it anymore. Did you hear any change in the noise? Thank you
I actually didn't hear any change in engine noise. The only improvement I noticed was the lack of an oil leak now!
JungleKing007 figured out the "cam shaft bearing cap" thats what dealership called it was loose. Anyway thanks for the reply 👍
But you still have a check engine ?
Never had a CEL. I noticed the leak, and replaced before anything got worse.
What you're seeing at the end is the light relay BEFORE ignition. the car is not on yet
I got a CEL today after 35 mile drive. I notice the part you replace in thia video is leaking on my cruze. Is it possible replacing thia will fix the CEL? Also power of the car feels weak.
@@Toysoul1337 Negative battery Cable, Friend. (Replace it) 35$ for dealer, takes 5 minutes. If you let them doing your looking at $350+
great vid, good info; terrible audio editing.
where are you get the check engine light on? I get the check engine code and it reads bad turbo
I was not. I saw oil leakage and replaced the failed part. This may be one cause for an eventual turbo failure, but there are other bigger issues that will cause it as well. Check the turbo housing for cracks. That seems to be the main problem
I replaced it and it is still doing the knock noise. Please help!!!
what knock noise? keep in mind some clicking noise is natural with the motor due to the valve cover design.
Same
The code P0299 went away after a very dirty air filter was replaced on my 2012 chevy cruze lt.
Really?
Thank you brother
Would i have the same problems with a trax?
If it has the same engine setup, then probably yes.
@@jungleking007Channel yup both have Engine, ECOTEC Turbo 1.4L Variable Valve Timing DOHC 4-cylinder sequential MFI (138 hp [102.9 kW] @ 4900 rpm, 148 lb-ft of torque [199.8 N-m] @ 1850 rpm) I'm nervous about buying if
@@allen0088 Yep, exact same. Run away, or proceed with caution
I could really use your help. I am in the market for a new car and noticed a 2012 Cruz for $5400, does this sound right? and would you recommend this car? also how can i tell right off the back from test driving it that the Turbo would be messed up
I like the car, other than a couple small problems, it's been reliable. Check some pricing sites like Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds to see if the price is in range. You should be able to hear the turbo spool up, when is bad it may not make a sound or you might hear rattling. Also will be sluggish acceleration. There are videos on YT with good examples of failed turbos.
The old saying you can buy a $20,000 car for $10,000 in cash. Don't know if you already bought the car or not you can probably walk out of there with it for four grand cash
Why did you replace it? What was your car doing? Cause mine is laggin specially when I go uphill.. and I’m trying to see if I can avoid a whole turbo swap
O-ring failed causing a leak. GM upgraded the tube to a two o-ring setup so went with a whole new one.
Dude I’m so excited you did this! I believe you just may have saved me $1000+ in repairs. Noticed a small oil leak & smoke. We took it into the dealership they told us we really need to replace the charger Starting price $1000 before labor. I’m going to do this first and see if that’s what’s causing the check engine code.
@@kalansadlier9631
How did it go?
I hope it went well!!!
@@BSmith09He ended up having such a bad oil leak,It slipped and left the roadway😭I will post the News article..No they didn’t survive😔🙏🏻RIP
Wonder why they added the heat shield?
Probably to combat heat soaking, due to being so close to the exhaust manifold.
The new one is a bit bigger just needs to be bent to fit in right
That's what I've been hearing. They must have "updated" the part again
I have a 2012 and it leaks oil in that same spot, but it’s smoking a lot. Is this the cause of the smoking ?
Thank you
possibly if it is splashing on to the exhaust manifold
What about smoke from the exhaust?
@@gerardomendoza8416 smoke from exhaust at the back of the car? Or exhaust manifold in the engine bay
@@gerardomendoza8416 what color is the smoke
My 19 Cruze has the turbo feedline in front of the heat shield.
Is the chevy ur worked on a 2011 chevy cruze LS? I went to the GM website and they're giving me a different part number for LS.
Mine is an Eco.
Ls would be a different motor with no turbo here in the US
26$ on amazon.
When you finish changing the oil feed line did the check engine light automatically went away or you have to manually reset it ? Please reply
I never had a check engine light show for this issue. You would most likely need to have the codes read, then manually reset.
JungleKing007 I have a po420 code which it saids Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1).”. Does that mean I have too change the whole catalyst system?
Not necessarily. It could be simply spark plugs need regapped or replaced, O2 sensor replaced. Last resort would be catalytic converter replacement. I would clear the codes and see if they return before replacing parts. could have been a one time fluke. Good Luck!
JungleKing007 thank you so much I appreciate it!
Kings B you still having problems
How do you know if it’s that piece and not the turbo ?
Locate where the leak is coming from. My leak was coming from the port under the oil filter, due to the shrinking of the oring on the tube
This is a bad spot for the oil feed line . once the car is shut off the heat soak is gonna dry out that oil sitting and not moving in that line. I wonder if its better to just leave the exhaust heat shield off . also maybe a couple of those spark plug boots or something to put on that pipe to keep it cooler.
I've replaced 3 turbos from the feed line being clogged. The newer lines have a heat shield, but I doubt it is effective. The aftermarket lines have two O'rings, instead of one. They can be had for $20. I recommend changing this line every 50k miles.
I been thinking about removing the heat shield cos it really just for your protection of your hands but it blocking air hitting a buncha important parts directly
What error code was this fix for?
There wasn't one, It was visual leakage from the attachment point on the block.
I thought my volume was low i try to hear something
my bad, volume was probably down on my computer when I reset the volume during editing. trying to get rid of some of the background hissing that is associated with some microphones. Sounds great using headphones!
JungleKing007 nice video man i do mechanic too n it helps me suscribe to my channel i suscribe urs
Hey i just got a turbo supercharger under boost code ? If I replace that part you think the engine light will go away?
Doubt it. Had similar error codes with my 2014, and dealer replaced my turbo under warranty. ~38k miles. www.cruzetalk.com/forum/25-gen1-service-issues/127034-replace-turbo-just-wastegate-actuator-non-warranty.html Used a "OBD2 Universal Car Engine Fault Code Reader Diagnostic Bluetooth Scanner Tool" and the Android Torque Lite app to monitor the turbo boost pressure when driving. I'm guessing the wastegate/actuator was getting stuck open and the engine would loose all power, due to low boost. After the car cooled off and restarted, it would be fine, but then fail again. Poor GM design.
I have the same code on my chevy lt 15' engine (light with the engine not running)
@Gerald Gillum turbo underboost could also be from a pcv issue, which will not go away after replacing turbo. It is a common failure. ua-cam.com/video/En4WO7DYsTk/v-deo.html
AUDIO
Noted, Thank you. If the YT editor allowed me to increase it, I would. For now, I can only suggest to increase volume to max or use headphones/earbuds.
I can hear him just fine
What do u get for mpg?
For around town or stop and go traffic, between 25-30mpg. When road tripping or mainly highway driving, between 35-42 mpg. I've gone 400+ miles before on one tank of gas before the low level light came on.
had the same question when I saw the 41.2mpg on the dash
I can't hear it
OK. You replaced a leaking seal (slow leak at that). What does that have to do with the title of this video?
because its the oil feed line for the turbo? if slow leak develops into fast leak and turbo doesn't get oil. bye bye turbo.
Some people just have no clue!
My chevy dealership is charging me 3k to fix my turbocharger oil leak issue. A cam sensor and a window that went off track. 2011 cruze 2lt
3000 dollars? Wtf
@@williamraysv yep. 1600 in parts and 1400 in labor.
No way, even where I live in El Salvador (we use the same currency) U.S dollars. The mechanics here will not ask for too much money.
i know its a little late but is it possible to by the turbo yourself for $500 and get them to change it
That T45 shredded the bolt what do I do now ???
PB Blaster or WD40 let it soak, then probably most effective would be a small pair of vice grips to grab on to the banjo bolt head. worst case, also CAREFULLY heat up the turbo housing in the immediate area around the bolt to hopefully expand the metal slightly so the bolt can twist easier. Good Luck!
