- Hey Good People,
This video is a follow up to the diagnostic video I did on this 2013 Chevrolet Cruze which you can check out here : • Chevy Cruze Overheatin...
In this video, I wanted to show you the removal process of the Turbo on the 2013 Chevy Cruze. I had to remove the turbo to replace the turbo cooler lines.
I hope this video helps anyone who may be doing a turbo or turbo related repair on one of these vehicles.
Thanks For Watching,
Your favorite Mechanic, Alex

Love that you and your wife do this together! You guys are awesome. Thanks for the great video!
If in the 100k mile range think I would replace all weak parts and save money and time in the long run. Thank you very much for this. God bless you and your wife.
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME VIDEO !! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH !! I'm 70 years old and can't afford paying big money to a garage. I'm a retired Jet engine mechanic but certainly don't know it all. I VERY MUCH appreciate your video to help people learn the best way to do these jobs. I'm at the point of removing he Turbo, on my way to the head gasket ......yeah I can see ALLLLL that "fun" up ahead already !! LOL !! I'll get it !! anyways, I said "self, I bet there's a good YOU TUBE Video to help me learn with a little less aggravation" .... and VOILA !! Here you are !! You have a new subscriber ! I truly believe this is the BEST video on "the tube" for this job. Thank You soooo much !! You have a GREAT attitude and would be an EXCELLENT teacher in my opinion. Something you may want to think about down the road !! (as we get older our bones don't move like they used to ....TRUST ME !! LOL !!) Really enjoyed your video and will CERTAINLY come visit you again the next time I'm in trouble !! Have a GREAT DAY and thank you once again !!
I’m happy you found this video helpful! This is always my goal when making these videos. I’m more impressed that you’re still rockin and turning wrenches at 70! Come back and see me if you need any help or advice about the job.
@@AlexTheCarDoctor I left a comment please get back to me have a blessed day or night
@@AlexTheCarDoctor hello Alex,I just did this on mine and now I have oil coming out of the cat,I’ve checked the feed line it’s not leaking and I also checked the inside of the turbo and it’s clean too. The only thing that looks like a leak is the oil return line but the bead isn’t dripping. Please help!!!
@@aaronc8303 what did you change exactly
@@AlexTheCarDoctor the whole turbocharger and manifold assembly
Thanks for the video! I got as far as just having the rear coolant line and the rear oil drain bolt left and just couldnt get to them. Yours is the first video I've seen where the catalytic converter was removed and that really opens things up. Thanks!
My pleasure buddy thanks for watching
I would like to say ty to your wife for the dedication to helping these videos better aid us cuz its so hard to hold a camera and take apart these cars. Especially when she is ready to pop.
This job is a 5.
Thanks it was very informative and love your camera gal. She knew what she was looking at and what to focus on. A lot of mechanics assume the viewers know their parts and what they look like. You pointed them out and explained what it was and what it’s called. Thank you to the both of you! Great teamwork and congratulations on your new addition to your family
Thank you so much 😊
What a awesome job. Thanks for the information. I'm getting the same thing done in a few weeks. Now I have first hand knowledge of what being done.
Thanks buddy I’m glad you enjoyed my video. I pray everything turns out in your favor with the up coming job
I rarely comment, but I think you did a great job and it really helped me. The quality of the video was very high which made a big difference for me. Thank your wife!
Thanks for the feedback buddy I’m glad Me and my wife was able to help
Great details Alex, the cat removal was what I needed to make it doable for me, well done!
Keep the videos coming, you good at it!
I'm a mobile mechanic..I'm working on a 2016 Chevrolet Trax Lt 1.4 turbo..I like to say u r very thourgh, YOU HELP ME ALOT , THANK YOU, BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS
Thanks brother I pray your business grow and prosper buddy
Retired Peugeot and european car mechanic, I like seeing the attention to detail, treat the car as if your family was going to use it, 15 years my own shop, word of mouth and complimentary blue notepads was my advertisement, D.mg
I want to thank you for your detailed video it was really helpful I viewed 2 before I watched yours and it did not show how to remove the turbo coolant line and the oil returns line once again thank you and your wife
I will rateyou number one in videos you are very very professional in explaining everything that you're doing keep providing your videos
Thanks buddy your input means a lot
Nicely done, going to do this job this weekend. Thank you!
Wow what a great detailed video! I didn't even know there was another cooler line on that turbo! So glad I looked this up first! Thanks bro!
Thank you for not only showing me how to replace this, but also for teaching me! You are a God send... this would have cost me 2000.00 for a mechanic to replace and I replaced it for only the cost of the parts. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
My pleasure buddy it makes me very happy that I can help people out with my video.that is my main Goal For my UA-cam channel is to help people save money and not get ripped off by teaching people about this industry. Thanks for the support
@Alex, The Car Doctor well, i am actually a girl. I have been teaching myself how to fix our issues with our vehicles. It has saved my husband and i A LOT of money. So very grateful 🙏
It’s great to see a woman that’s into fixing cars it’s a rare thing these days. Woman or dude, I think buddy is appropriate for both lol what do you think? I pray you and your husband lots of success and happiness for many years to come. Me and my wife have been together for 15 years.
Great vid, tips and well explained. About to tackle an oil cooler return hose repair so I'm trying to learn about everything in that area.
Thanks for watching I’m glad you enjoyed my video
I'm about to tackle this job on my wife's car. Giving the nice underboost code. Thanks for the info! Very informative and the tips help. Some ppl skim over and what you described is needed. Thanks a bunch!
Glad to help and Good luck!
Great job on the video. Lots of car mechanic videos do not take the time to explain everything, but this is well done!!!
Thanks buddy I do my best
@@AlexTheCarDoctor I'm about to replace the catalytic converter on my 2015 Chevy Cruze should I buy one with two gaskets or should I just get one with one gasket
@@terrythepion6181 I thought they came with both gasket.yes definitely get both
Informative and thorough, your work deserves more attention.
When I did this job on a 2011 Cruze, I didn't take the cat out. It was enough just to remove the bolt on the bracket holding it to the engine, that allowed enough wiggle to pop it off the downpipe.
I like how you kept the budget down by only replacing the parts that were broken. If your fixing your car on a budget or just getting in to doing your own auto work, keep in mind that OEM parts are expensive and not always necessary. Sometimes, they're not even the best quality option. Most of the time, a third party option from Korea or China will do the job just fine. This does not apply to the cheapest knockoff of the most complicated engine parts, but generally: if it's on Rock Auto or being sold at NAPA, it will be good enough to last until you upgrade your ride. I've ran multiple third-party water pumps, belts, coils, and even engine bearings for 5+ years, until I have sold the car.
But use this guy to tell you how to install it.
Thanks for watching buddy and your feedback I’m glad you enjoyed my video
In case of a turbo replacement just replace the whole thing assembly everything...
It's not that expensive
Very well done video! Replacing the turbo on a Buick Encore currently.
Listen thank you little brother I’m enjoying seeing this video I learned a lot of this type of car it looks like my 2015 Malibu
I like your style great videos I'm a retired tech we never stop learning im subscribed and will be watching thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thanks for watching! 😎
Great video, one of the best step by step video I have seen!! Thank you
First time watching your videos. First of all Congrats on the baby! Video was great, your easy to follow and give out lots of info without going overboard. Can't wait to see to see the next one.
Thank you Alex you save me a headache. I was going to take the full coolant line off but after realizing it takes time I decided to simply just replace the rubber hose and the clamps for now.
That’s what i did, vs removing and replacing the entire line. Did you install the heat shield back over the rubber line? And have you had any trouble with it since replacing only the rubber line?
Great video , most respectable , GOD bless you & your patient wife!! THANKS!!!!!!!😃😃😃😃😃
Really awesome video! Your step by step instructions are very easy to follow.
Glad to hear that. I try to make it easy for you guys.
You helped e remove my rear end out of my 2013 yukon. The least i could do is comment and subscribe
Thanks brother
this is a great video i like how you show the difficult parts because no job seems to be cut and dry the other videos on this skip the hard parts thanks man gonna give it a go sunday ill check back
Checking back in.. finished install thanks to the video and its running alot better. The old turbo housing was cracked right by the flap. Hardest part was reinstalling the 17mm lower coolant line due to it being floppy but I ended up catching a couple threads and getting it back in.
This guy is a 10/10 mechanic 👍.
Better than the average mechanic video.
i have this same exact car, the year, color, and everything lol... I'm glad I watched this video... I'm replacing the turbo tomorrow and I will use this as a reference.. I had two bolts snap on my catalytic converter lol ... I had to drill two holes through it .... Yikes... I will use this video as a reference tomorrow... Thanks for all the detail and sweating for us! Congrats on your baby! Tell your wife I said thanks for holding the camera so well
Thanks for the support buddy. I will let my wife know. Let me know how it turns out!
@@AlexTheCarDoctor So far so good kinda! The good news is my car runs a whole lot better with no codes but the bad news is i have a small oil leak so I will be putting it up on the ramps again lol yay!
@@brianrussell5789 I hope it’s a easy fix. Maybe a loose bolt
Tremendous Alex. Thank you for this has been a great service to me. Bless you and your family. liked and subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Such a great video man!!! Best one i have found yet. Thank you my friend. I hope your baby is doing great and the wifey is as well.
Thanks so much. They are doing alright. Baby almost 2 years old now. Time flies 😩
You’re a life saver with this video 🙏🏾
I’m glad you enjoyed my video brother. Thanks for watching
I followed after he said “Turbo Piping” lol. I like this mechanic.
You really do great videos, it really helped me out
Thanks brother.It makes me happy that people are leaning from my videos
Extremely helpful video!
I love how you don't just assume everybody has 10k worth of tools at home. Thanks for the video!
Because there was a time where I didn’t have many tools either so I understand. Thanks for watching 🤗
Alex you are are going to take over the world
I won’t to be the best automotive teacher on UA-cam, thanks brother
Very Helpful! I need to replace my oil cooler and will have to take all that apart to get to it. Looking forward to seeing more of your content!
Thanks for watching! I’m gonna keep ‘em coming for ya! 💪🏽
@rellison68 how did the work go for you. I'm currently doing the oil cooler job as well. I seen some videos that say to remove the little black tab on the oil cooler for the turbo feed line. What did you end up doing to that.
@AlexTheCarDoctor awesome videos Sir. Any take on the above comment?
@@louieaguilar1221 I ended up trading the car in. I couldn't find the time or place to do the job. Good luck to you!
This vid is perfect Alex. Kudos to both you and your wife. The camera work is awesome and your walk through as well. Now I have to check if you have one for the cylinder head removal! Cheers :)
Hey there I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Sorry at this time there’s no cylinder head removal videos.
Good content bro I like how you break everything down. It helps. This job might be too big for me though lol
Great job made it look alot more doable
Thanks for watching
This video just saved me so many cuss words on the bottom manifold bolts great video!
My pleasure buddy I’m glad I was able to help you out with my video
Love your videos, very informative
Glad you like them!
Excellent video, thank you
Thank you for showing this!
Thanks for watching
You're a great teacher! Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Great video, very helpful!
My pleasure
I play that game EVERY TIME! :D I wondered if I was the only one lol
I’m not alone 😀
Thanks for the tutorial and here's to a healthy new lady or gentleman in the world.
Thank you Alex you helped a lot!!
You're welcome! Glad it helped!
I'am Your Newest Subscriber Great Videos
Thank you for the video.
Awesome work great content amigo. I got to change mine
Thank you!
It was fun to watch, you gave us the opportunity to see how to get at the tuff bolts and what to be careful with.
I’m glad you enjoyed my video buddy. Thanks for watching
Removed a couple things that didn't need to but great video anyway.
I mainly wanted to demonstrate removing the turbo charger and the process I know I didn’t have to takeoff certain things to get to the hoses. Thanks for watching buddy and the support
I own an opel astra j 1.4 turbo 140 ps, same engine same problems....fine business man
Thanks buddy. I did not know that, thinking about it I never worked on an opel but I do know this GM sourcing some of their engines from other countries
Great job
Thank great walk through
My pleasure buddy thanks for watching
I think the video was great thanks brother.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good work
Thank you, I have never had a car with a turbo, I may one day and just wanted to see what was involved.
Great video. I always try to guess the nut or bolt Size too! 😂😂😂
It’s fun and helps pass the time lol
Good video. I dont have time to do this nor the patience! I just wanted to see why the dealership was charging 3k for this job.
Good video sir.
Thanks @Alex for the great video. I have a coolant leak from a car very similar to this, coming from one of the lines attached to the turbo. My mechanic told me that it's best to replace the lines as well as the turbo itself just to make sure that the leak is fixed. Do you think it's necessary to replace the turbo as well? I want to see whether I can save some bucks by using the same turbo. Thanks again.
I just replaced my turbo on the 2014 Cruze. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time in case of bolts breaking off. Even replace all connections.
Thank you very much for that awesome video. It made this repair much easier for me. I do have one question though, what brand of parts did you use?? I used Zonfant, which I bought from Amazon. About 1 month after i did the repair one of the coolant lines on the turbo is leaking due to a faulty part. So Im going to take it all back apart and replace it again. Im not very impressed with the Zonfant brand. Is GM Parts the best for this, or am I just paying more for the name? Any info. you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brian
Eight bolt/stud assembly hold the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head. And it takes some patience to remove them.
Great video! How many hours would you charge for replacing these cooling lines under the turbo?
Many thanks!
Thank you sir
My pleasure buddy
Love it
Nice video
Thanks 🙏🏽
Thx Alex for this video and ur patient,how much it cost to fix turbo on Chevy Cruz 2012?
Thanks for watching buddy. If I remember correctly I think it was between 300$ to 500$
rear oil drain is a pain, i used a 17 socket on the otherside of that rear coolant line to detach it from the engine, i got to it by going above the serpentine from the side
If there were some hair around it you could find them holes better. 🤣 I love the channel!
😂🤣😂 that’s when I switch over to the love Dr 😉
On my own personal cars, I don't put those plastic panels back on when I have to remove them. Up north, they trap the salt and keep me from rinsing the bottom of the car. So it's a lot easier to rinse the salt if they aren't there and obviously to reach everything to fix it.
That’s good thanking
Engineered to fail let oil leak will help keep uder carrig from rusting when up norh just run fast so will blow and lube bottom of car
good video boy]][god job
Thanks for the feedback! And thanks for watching!
I've changed a bunch of these they are known for cracking as far as the turbos
I certainly could have used these on an intake i installed last week. The job has been a little bit of a nightmare. The car had 7 codes. I had to change intake manifold, valve cover, pcv bypass, map sensor, all vacuum tubes. I got rid of all but one code P2261. I would have to remove the intake manifold again, ugg
Did you make a video on how to fix the broken stud on the cat?
The torque 45s on mine all stripped. Used a brand new bit the correct size and everything. All stripped. It's getting towed to a shop.
Could there be pressure in the cooling system due to the turbine even though the engine head is good
How do you fix the oil leak from the intercooler lines on a Chevy Cruze
I have the same leak on my 2014, this seems to be a common problem on the Chevy Cruze another terrible set up, wondering how you would of replaced with a hose so you don't have to tear down so far to fix?
and would it be a fix? I bought the new part and am somewhat mechanical inclined but not happy about the teat down that fat for one little line,and getting it back together with no issues, your video is excellent and your proper repair is great.
Thanks for the support and feedback.I know this that first line on the top is not hard to change but the one under your turbo that’s the tough one to get to if you decide to leave the turbo on its just easier to remove the turbo you can do it buddy just take your time and soak your bolts in penetrating oil 2hr before you start
Where you able to replace the hose without the full tear down?
yo i love this video.i actually have this problem going on right now on my 2016 chevy cruze lt. is there any chance you would be able to share the parts number ????
Double check the video I do believe I mentioned the part number in the video
Do you have a video of replacing the bolts on the catalytic converter?
No sorry I should have showed that
Is it recommended to replace the exhaust manifold gasket as well?
Thank you for the information.
It’s not necessary, but if you’re in there and have it in the kit or just want more comfort, I’d say go ahead and replace but you don’t have to.
That E10, the 'E' stands for "External" and it's a torx, more accurately, an External Torx. Amazon has some affordable sets of Torx, and E-Torx sets for under $20.
Awesome. Just replaced the leaky oil line on my dad's '11 Cruze. Is there any chance I can send you a video of this odd swishing sound that is coming from the turbo area? We can't figure out what it is. It almost sounds like a washing machine.
Yes send it to my Instagram
Do you by any chance have all the parts numbers and names needed for this repair with gaskets and everything?
A list the parts in another comment.I can send it to you but it will be a few days until I get around to it
I work for GM and you really dont need to remove the turbocharger to replace the lines. But i love what you are doing keep up the good work.
You are absolutely RIGHT! I just thought I would tackle to video ideas at once. In case someone wanted to know how to remove the turbo. Thanks so much for watching! Shout out to you my fellow mechanic brother. 👨🏽🔧
If you don't take the turbo off, how difficult is it to replaced on the coolant line? And would you need to replace the oil too?
@@JohnDavis1972 hey there I would say it would be pretty difficult very tight space but it can be done I just find it easier to take off the turbo to replace them. you don’t have to change out the oil if you don’t want to
just watched your video very informative, can the coolant line #55567067 be replaced without removing the entire turbo? can it be done by removing the cat. converter only? (not a mechanic looking to possibly save cost)
@AlexTheCarDoctor - please give me a link to find the best exhaust header studs and nuts. It seems there all kinds of them and none of them appear remotely like tge ones on our vehicles.
Your wife is an ANGEL, and how lucky you are, and a picture of the child would be great.
And of course thank you so much. Love your brother Freddy
My step daughters Cruze needs just what you showed. You both are angels, salt of the earth.
Thanks for your kind words. I recommend the dealership for those studs or you can try the brand ARP.she is almost 3 now and is a handful
How can I avoid snapping the bolts on the Cadillac converter
You can go to Home Depot and buy a torch get the yellow bottle tall single bottle with the torch head and heat it up really good and slowly try to remove it
🔥🔥🔥
Did you ever made a video for the bolt for the cat
No I didn’t I will next chance I get
That stud is going to be hell to drill out because it is hardened then you will have to nut and bolt it.
If I remember correctly it was pretty easy to get out
