Chevrolet Cruze CEL Diagnosis - P0171 - Failed PCV Valve
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Check Engine light recently popped up on my Chevrolet Cruze. It had been occasionally running rough, but the day the light came on, it became very difficult to drive. It would idle rough, high idle, when clutch was depressed it would try to run away but the governor would catch the engine.
Had the code read at the local auto parts store and found that a P0171 code was tripped. Apparently this is a common issue with the early models of the Cruze. the most common cause is a faulty PCV valve as seen in this video.
I hope this helps you diagnose an issue you are having.

Edit/Update: @1:37 I point to what was thought to be the PCV valve. Turns out this is just a pressure regulating diaphragm which rips under extreme loads such as a large vacuum leak. The failure shown is just one of the tell tale signs of the common PCV problem with these engines. There are two PCV checks in this vehicle. one in the intake manifold and the other on the large corrugated hose leading to the turbo. I have just released a video outlining one of the fixes to this problem. Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/qDd5obMzka8/v-deo.html
PCV valve is inside the intake manifold. The valve cover has the pressure relief valve. Also called "Rupture Disk".
The complete fix is replace the intake and valve cover, and be sure the plastic hose to the intake is sealing. I've seen them plug up in as little as 53k. and carbon deposits unseat the oil ring, causing a vacuum leak. A tell tale sign that things are plugging up is by removing the oil fill cap and checking for massive pressure while it's running. In a functioning system, there should be very little blow by through the cap.
Adam Trombino I have that problem with mine. Tons of pressure/ vacuum when i remove the fill cap with engine running already Replaced the valve cover and still have codes and pressure. Looked for the nipple in the actual intake and it’s not there. Think that’s my problem? 1.8t
Also only runs rough at idle
@@carlstephens5785 1.8 didn't come with a turbo.
So the " CONCLUSION/ SOLUTION" to your problems is to DO A TRADE FOR THE HEADACHE CRUZE... Great video by the way , it really helped a lot !
I work at a Chevy dealer and am now having this work done. PCV tube, O2 sensor and camshaft cover. I have 97k on my '12 turbo and luckily have an extended warranty but it only covers the cover with a $100 deductible- all other parts will be discounted but will still have a couple hundred dollar bill with the labor. I've had quite a bit of work done on the car over the last couple of years either under warranty or with special coverage from GM. overall I love the car and it has never left me stranded!
My daughter has a 2015 Buick Encore. It had the same issue as the Chevy. Was able to get new valve cover under warranty. Miss the old days when you could just clean the PCV with some carb cleaner or gunk. Agree that the design could be much better. Thanks for the video. Most likely would not have diagnosed without considerable more time involved. (And money)
I was having the same issues you saved my transit life 🙌.. thanks for the video
i wanted to know where the pcv valve was. thank you for making it clear.
There are actually 2 on this car. One is integrated into the intake and the other is part of the correlated tubing by the turbo. The typical culprit is the intake one deciding to vanish. It’s a tiny rubber umbrella valve.
Great Educational stuff here! Unfortunately mine went out a few weeks ago it lasted me up to 168,379 miles on a 2013 Chevy Cruze LT
Im about to bring mine in tonight. 99,912 miles........ cutting it close.... thanks for the vid. I liked it.
+Jason Stoddard Good luck! Hopefully they don't try to pin a "diagnostic fee" on you even though it's a pretty obvious issue. If they do, fix it yourself, the valve cover alone is cheaper than that charge.
THANK YOU FOR THE INFO , MY 2012 LT TURBO WENT BAD AT 47,000 MILES .
53,000 here.
Clicking noise is faulty purge solenoid. noticed this a lot after replacing valve cover, its the little solenoid towards the rear of the valve cover, if you unplug it the noise should subside. If the noise goes away, your should replace purge solenoid $20 part super easy.
Dylan Hubrick we unplugged but the clicking didn’t go away.
Thanks for the video. Helped me diagnose my own PCV failure.
Just a hint, the best diaphragm is in rubber viton, because it has greater tear strength, the original diaphragm, is silicone, which resists temperature but easy tears.
So the diaphragm does not dry out and tears, putting on viton will have a much higher shelf life, hugs
i have a 2012 Chevy cruze Lt and let me say dis car is da worst car ever made.
i regret buying this car.
+Username Lastname What problems have you had with the car?
+JungleKing007
Ac blows only cold air on passenger side. took it to the dealer 4 times amd they still couldnt fix it.
they ended up telling me it was the compressor.
It still blows cold air on passenger side thou so i doubt its the compressor.
evryting is fallin off in the interior.
I'm sorry to hear that. guess yours missed out in the quality control room. Sounds like something got in and may be blocking a passage in the AC box.
I have a 2015 and yeah this wasnt a good buy
Some models will have defects. If you a car person youll make sure it runs smooth and know mostly what to fix and better parts to replace with the original, if your a non car person, start off doing what i did and looking around and skimming through UA-cam for possible fixes. Sometimes it IS the vehicle, but sometimes its the owner neglecting it. Make sure to keep everything in tip top shape and make sure under the hood is clear of lots of debree dust and dirt as it can help speed up the process or ruin any sensors or rubber parts needed.
I just watched a VW repair with the same problem. The engine runs rough and squeels. The part costs twice as much, but does the same thing. Apparently a problem on Audis and BMWs also.
That's not actually your pcv!. Pcv is in your intake manifold and there's actually 2 of them. 1 in the intake manifold behind your engine and the other in the bypass hose that attaches to your turbo. That what you are calling a pcv valves is really a vacuum idle assist
Just had this same problem with my 2011 Cruze Eco-Turbo this week except mine was idling too low and even stalled once at a red light. Felt as if the car were struggling at normal speeds. Had the same work done. $260 parts and labor. Bought mine new, now has 110,000 miles on it. Other than the water pump failing at 98,000 miles (which was replaced under the 100,000 mile powertrain warranty), never had any other problems with it. So a new valve cover at 110,000 isn't so terrible. Now that the valve cover has been replaced, it's as peppy as it ever was. Great car.
mine is doing the same thing too. but it doesn't have air coming out of it. did yours?
Yup. Wasn't as obvious as the one in the video, though.
The pcv valve is not what hes referring to, that's a baffle. This car has 2 Pcv valves, one in the intake manifold and one in the Turbo intake.
Hello, I have the P0243 Chevrolet Cruze code, exactly where the holidays are, thanks a lot
The clicking is usually the vapor canister solenoid
Did you ever find out about the clicking noise? My 2013 Cruze has that same click.
2014 Cruze 1.4L, this video perfectly defines the issue with this car. I hear a horrible whistle noise when idling, and its with the hood closed too. The vehicle heavily shutters when idling in the driveway, stop sign, light, etc. 135k+ miles
+Underoath @ Darkstorm that's some impressive mileage for a 2 year old car. But correct, I've seen this issue explained in multiple places across the internet.
Thank you, I have a 2012 Eco also. Will have to remember this
The gasket comes with the cover! Also buy 700 degree gasket maker to place on two small places of the engine. You will see the grey on the left side of the front and rear of the engine head. When replacing. Then let sit for 24 hours to let the gasket maker set. The fuel cap set will also need to be removed from your old cover, so dont freak out when you see that your oil cap wont fit on.
That is so ridiculous, GM did that to line the service departments pockets for repairs. They could of made a pop in part.
My 2015 makes that same clicking noise at the engine and I highly think you for this Video as mine has only 40k and needs this same cover replacement. Mine started about 2 months ago and lights came on until recent. i cleaned the MAF and changed air filter. Also I smell gas too. So I'll be taking mine in in the morning ASAP...
Da'Von Dorsett i also have a 2015 cruze lt and exact same problem .... was it covered by the powertrain warranty? Was it only the pcv valve?
Thanks so much! I fixed my daughters car. It cleared the check engine light as well.
How did you clear the check engine light?
the gasket comes with the valve cover, pcv tubing is plastic and prone to crack also, abot 150.00 in parts. dont forget to thank gm for putting a daewoo engine in your chevy
I believe it’s actually a Vauxhall engine? The a14net. Or you might know it as Opel?
that clicking might be BAP sensor.
It fixed the issue for me. Mechanic says the magnet inside the sensor sometimes acts up.
Vid helped alot, THANKS !!!
I think this may be my new problem of the week. Last week was the septic which I hope I'll never have to have inspected. Had a computer check and said could possibly be something to do with oxygen mixture.according to generic code I had read from auto store.
2012 Chevy Cruze LT 151,000 miles. I replaced the MAF Sensor and still have the check engine light with code P0171. Ill check this area. Thanks
I had to do that on mine 8 months after I bought my Chevy. After I replaced it I think it needs to be replaced again after 8 months of driving it. Now it's one thing after another. I only had my car for a total of almost 2 an a half year. Never had a car break down this much.
Any idea on what the clicking was about after the fix and how to repair it?
Did you ever find out what that ticking was? I'm having all the same issues!
It is the injectors firing, nothing to be worried about.
The ruptured diaphragm is a symptom, not the cause, of another problem with the PCV system. The PCV valve in the intake manifold is not closing and that is causing the diaphragm rupture from excess vacuum. Without fixing the PCV valve this rupture will just happen again to your new valve cover.
I have a video up of the workaround fix to this.
What was the noise making after your fix the pcv valve? My does the same noise after i fixed it.
+saucedoroker It's the fuel injector solenoids firing. Nothing to be worried about.
+JungleKing007 thank you so much!
Actually thats good and bad in away. lets you know they are working or not with a Stethoscope.
apenas uma dica, o melhor diafragma é em borracha viton, porque tem maior resistência ao rasgamento, o diafragma original, é em silicone, que resiste a temperatura mas rasga facil.
por isso o diafragma não resseca e rasga, colocando em viton vai ter uma vida útil bem mais alta, abraços
I had a checking engine light on, so I took my car (2012 Cruze) to Chevy service center, and they told me I need to replace the valve cover. Probably this video is describing my problem. First, yeah- it's not covered under the warranty so I even had to pay for the diagnostic fee which was $95. They charged me $98 plus something for the parts only, and I'm about to go back to get it installed. Once it's done, I'm planned to get charged for about $90 again for the labor. The video said $69.53 for the part.... so I'm not sure if the center's getting me a golden cover or not, but surely it's more expensive now.
thanks bro your clutch have a good one
Thank you Jungle King for the video! I have a 2011 Chevy Cruze (out of warranty sadly) but we had two CEL P0171 and P1101. After replacing Valve Cover Assembly like you mentioned, the P0171 was wiped, but not the P1101. Should I continue to look into the MAF? Could there be another vacuum issue or is this sensor the likely cause?
Thanks in advance
-J
Did some reading on the P1101 code. Not sure if this is your setup, some have found this popping up when using a K&N or equivalent filter that is heavily oiled, or using a Cold Air intake setup. The MAF sensor is very sensitive and if oil hits the sensor wires or there is excessive air flow it will read incorrectly or readings will exceed the sensors normal operating parameters. may want to try cleaning the sensor first with a MAFS specific cleaner. Others had to search for another possible vacuum leak in the system.
@jourdan what did you end up fixing for code P1101? I will be looking at the valve cover tomorrow to see if that’s the case for code P0171
my car sounds exactly like this. but the rpm's stay low... could it still be the same thing?
Possibly but the issue would typically not allow the engine to idle correctly. it would be rough and the rpm gauge would be bouncing.
I am replaced mine a few weeks ago and was running great. However I lost oil pressure this past week and I think I'm leaking oil from around the gasket. I did not use any paste, should I remove and put gasket paste around the whole thing and put it back on? (After cleaning it?)
I has also just had my oil done a few weeks prior. So I was a little worried they Screwed something up too... (I was in the middle of moving and didn't have my own tools to change the oil) ha.
THANKS
+Sean Poser you only need a dab of sealant at the two locations where the timing chain cover mates with the head. The gasket will do the rest. I have a video doing a similar repair on my saturn sl2. Check it out to see what I am referring to.
+JungleKing007 thanks! I'll check it out today and hope that stops the leak
That video helped man thanks!
I just rechecked mine and there is no suction either way at the PCV but code 1101 states it could be a MAP MAF sensor could be the problem.
I have the p0171 code and vaccum at the dipstick and pcv valve up top has vaccum. My service center is looking at it tommorow praying its just the gm recall
I'm hearing that squeaky sound just like I'm having did
the PCV cover fix that sound?
mine did the same thing and has the same code but the dealer is telling me its not covered by the powertrain warranty what dealer did you go to?
they just dont wont to do it. You must make them.
Same here with my grandmother's. This time, I'm going in with her!
did your fix make the check engine light go away
Any Fuel Trim Lean Bank 1, Total Baro Pressure, or leaking unmetered air from cams is most likely caused by a failed intake manifold. TSB PIP 5197b, Causes repeated valve/cam cover (pcv) failures. Also causes vac leak from crank seal.
+Russell Hill the intake manifold has a valve in it about two inches back, on top, from where it meets the engine. there's a hose running from the valve to the turbo. this is the second part of the PCB (first is the runners and valve on the valve cover). if you pop off the hose and look in you should see a brass and orange plastic check valve. it prevents the pressure in the block from traveling backwards. if the valve is not there you will replace valve cover after the next because boost is where it shouldn't, and it will find a way out. only fix is a new intake manifold plenum. thank gm for making it as such
I took it to a shop and they just changed out the cover and it ruptured again and now when I check estimates for changing out the intake manifold, it's like 3k
+Russell Hill was it a gm dealership and under power train warranty for the repair? if so I would try to get gm involved, since it seems they're pulling a run a round
what's the clicking sound like if it needs oil? is that normal?
My understanding is that the clicking you hear are the fuel injector solenoid firing
I replaced valve cover fixed the code just fine on my 14 Chevy Cruze ltz, even after fix with my new plugs my gf said sounds went away but the sluggish acceleration/loss of power is still there. Are you experiencing anything like that?
bigboydjs gas pedal sensor.
hello great video do you think my would still be covered under warranty its a 2012 as well
I believe its 6 years/60,000 miles so unfortunately, no.
did you say this issue was covered under the power train warrenty.was there a problem with your dealership
+Dallen Moore they covered it. No issue with the dealership nearby for me. Since I had already diagnosed the issue, it was easier for them to be ready and tell me if it was or not.
That's clicking noise afterwards, have you noticed it goes away after a few minutes of having it on?
Believe it is the Fuel injectors firing from what I found. Nothing to really be worried about.
I am 9 hours from home, 1/2 way on my trip, and my "service traction control" light came on and then this light. I have to drive 8 more hours tomorrow. I am heading to a dealer in the morning. I hope they can fix it right away and it is covered by my warranty. I can't do it myself so far from home and I need to get to my next destination. I also need to find out if it is safe to drive 8 hours to my next destination if they can't fix it tomorrow. I have some great service guys at the dealership where my final destination is, so I would rather have them do it. I know they wouldn't give me any trouble about my warranty and would do great work. Thanks for this video btw!
+Jennifer Race good luck, I hope everything works in your favor!
JungleKing007 thanks. They have 58 appointments this morning so I won't see my car today. Everything I need is still in it, like my clothes. :/
mines throwing the same code with a po420 code, I have a appointment in a few days I just hope it's OK to drive around until I can get it in, check engine light came on a couple days ago
Sir, Question my dealership says I need a fuel service for my chevy Cruze 2015. What does fuel service include? What things do I need to replace? Thank you and great video!
I would have the tech give you the details. Different shops perform different procedures for a Fuel Service, It could be an induction cleaning similar to the video I have labeled "How to Properly Perform a Fuel System Cleaning" It could be a pressurized procedure hooked into the fuel rail running a cleaner through the injectors. Either way, Its' recommended to ask the tech who would be performing the work to explain the process and if this is a recommendation direct from the manufacturer. Good Luck!
That not a pcv valve it's a check valve
after replacing valve cover did it still suck in air? Also did they replace the gasket as well?
+justin mayer I could not feel suction but there may still be some through normal operation. New gasket is part of the valve cover assembly, so yes it was changed when the valve cover was replaced.
Hello, I have a 2016 chevy Cruze that has the same issue with the code of PO171 and PI101 my care has 38 k miles. I was wondering if my dealership will still cover it since I have passed the 36 k mile warranty?
Only thing I can suggest is ask the dealership. It's up to them whether or not to cover something over the warranty period. Good Luck!
Hey jungle did you figure out that new clicking noise after the repair
+Mark A I have not, but I am thinking it has something to do with the cams and lifters, or simply the injector solenoids.
+JungleKing007 Don't worry about that ticking sound. It sounds like a combination of your fuel rail/injectors and possibly the lifters. My '13 Cruze LT does it too. I'm pretty sure most Chevrolets have a tick or a rattle. ;)
Just took mine in for same codes/symptoms, but they are saying the vacuum leak is in the manifold. I know for a fact I've had the valve cover replaced before, but its been over the 12k mi/1 year warranty for the valve cover (it was leaking oil before on the valve cover) but now my car is out of the 100K warranty. Is there a way I can verify that the manifold is leaking air somewhere? My guess would be the PCV valve is leaking on the valve cover, since its a known issue, and Chevy even said they've redesigned the part. Is the manifold plastic?
+Zubin Parakh intake manifold I believe is plastic. Could be a leaking seal. On a cold engine. Start it up and spray the joints and maybe the injector inlets with starter fluid or maybe carb cleaner. If it starts sputtering, you have found the manifold leak. Replacement seals may be needed if available.
I'm at the dealership getting mine replaced right now. It seems like all Chevy Cruzes are having the same problem right now smh
Zubin Parakh
Was yours having that squeaky sound along with it?
2Kute No Squeaky sound. Just the sound of air from the Vacuum leak on the valve cover. They replaced the manifold and valve cover with the new updated design. $1200
That is not the pcv valve. The pcv valve is actually in the intake manifold.
Very true, and i clarify this in a follow up video when this issue returns.
Just resently....GM has released a recall on this item.
I just got my letter, I'll be submitting for reimbursement on the second one I had to install myself.
My girlfriends 2011 Cruze is having some similar issues. Im 95% sure one thing is the.pcv valve. Could this possibly also cause oil to be sprayed all over the place? or is it something else, gasket or seals?
That bad pcv is creating vaccum and that sucking in the gasket best to replace it if its spraying oil. My gasket was 15 bucks but I get company discount at parts stores
My pcv does not any reaction should I.change.it.?
did your intake manifold fail also?
Probably, but it want replaced in this go around. I have a follow up video showing how I fixed the issue.
@@jungleking007Channel I replaced the valve cover with a guinine OEM from RockAuto (says made in Poland?). Fixed my issue. I have a spare intake manifold now. Return?
did the dealership warranty cover because my it's says fuel injector Are bad
Yes, Dealership repaired this issue under warranty for me. There were no indications on mine their were issues with injectors.
Ticking most likely evap solenoid.
hi was the air sucking or blowing from the pcv valve? thanks
+Blitzzz It was sucking air into the valve.
Hi thanks for the reply, my VX Meriva 1.4T with the same GM engine has developed the same problems as yours, looks like its a common fault.
Hi, I have My car do the following: It just vibrate for seconds on cold start then retern to normal, So What is the problem in your opinion??? Thanks
Sounds like normal start up. may be a short lag from start up to when the computer senses the air intake and works to balance fuel ratio. It's a bit more rough in the winter months due to the cold weather. Cold air is more dense which may cause a hesitation in the readings during initial start up.
JungleKing007, Hi Sir My car is a chevy cruze 2011 Lt, do that vibration by this way during winter months on cold start up, so you said that is normal?
and what happening with me is it what is called "morning rattle"? Thanks
Wait it was that cheap? Mine was a complete rip off then... Really surprised that it was a 4 digit number to fix mine... went bad at around 42K miles. Happened on my last day of finals one semester. Now I think I'm having a P2138 code problem, based on what a guy said on a different video 😅
If you did the repair yourself, Probably less than $100 to fix. Dealership or mechanic repair you will have to add labor. Some places(chain shops) will quote and replace everything they think is associated with a certain code just to cover themselves. Good Luck, hope you can solve your current issue with the P2138 code.
After replacing mine I still have the same code what can I do?
same here
Two possible vacuum leaks.
- Intake manifold (pcv inside manifold)
- Vapor Purge Valve
The video says the PCV valve is on the valve cover but that is actually the rupture disk. pcv valve is in the intake manifold.
My 2014 Chevy Cruze has all the same issues. But mine has what sounds like a squeaky belt issue. I couldn't tell if your car was making it too or if that was the outdoors nature in the back ground. I'm at 53k miles. Will a chevy service dept help me? :(
Same code with all the same symptoms you mentioned. But does everyone else get that bad belt/pulls sound? Does this issue mimic that?
No belt squeak on mine. Don't think the belt issue has anything to do with the PCV Valve. May be something separate like a worn bearing on a pulley or water or oil got onto the belt. If you are still covered under the Powertrain warranty, my want to have the service department take a look. be careful though, they may charge a diagnosing fee if nothing is found. Good Luck!
I'm having the same issue squeaky belt sound did you find what it was?
John Lamb
Having the same squeaky noise did you find the solution?
2Kute ! Known issue at the dealership. If it's squeaking pull out the oil dip stick and it stops. That's one type of issue. The dealership popped my hood and pulled the dip stick and knew the issue. He fixed it. The other issue I had at the same time(rough idle) is the PCV valve issue. ALSO known issue at the dealership. Yes the entire cover is attached to the PCV Valve. DO NOT PAY TO FIX EITHER of the issues!!!! THE DEALERSHIP is to cover these as they are KNOWN ISSUES!! Even if out of warranty!! Do not let them tell you NO is you are over mileage on the warranty. I was as well and pressed how it's a known issue.
Ho.y crap I just went outside and checked it and mine is bad.... Gonna take it tomorrow to chevy to get it replaced on my 2014- Don't think I have a warranty so it will cost me about 3bills probaly
My 2015 Trax has a lean trouble code runs rough has a chirping noise? (not the belt)
What codes are showing? Could be a couple things
@@jungleking007Channel Turns out the valve cover needed replaced (rupture disc)
Thanks for responding
Is mine still under warranty? I have 46k miles. I know there is 100k mile warranty on power steering
+Jesus Garcia Check your paperwork and call the dealership to be sure. Might get the runaround but they should know.
Overall warranty is 60k. Powertrain is 70k.
Shit 1500 mine goes all the way to 3000 and then when it falls it wants to turn off lol
If you don’t like the car don’t buy a Chevy Trax with the same engine.
I have Trax 2016, may I contact you for info?
So I really need some help, I did this exactly the way shown here now my engine rattles harshly and turns itself off.. cant even use it now, I got no idea why
PCV system failure most likely. Need to replace the valve cover and install a pcv bypass kit. I'm actually working on editing said video to show the fix but is taking a while to finish due to day job commitments. There are forum posts about problem that should get you up and running again on the meantime.
@@jungleking007Channel I did replace the valve cover, can you direct me to this forum please?
Here is the bypass kit you may need. The gentleman who created it has some posts on cruzetalk that explain the problem and solution.

I have a question please if anyone can help me? I have a 2012 chevy Cruze, the dealership is telling me the codes asre a P0171, P0106 and a P1101. He is telling me the PVC pipe has a vacuum leak and the cam shaft cover needs to be replaced. They are trying to charge me $570.00 for parts and labor... I have a feeling they are trying to screw me over on this deal.
U already fix?
thanks for the video
.... Has anyone changed out the valve cover and still had the problem?
Hopefully a vacuum line was not left off. but could be a bad out of box part, but this is rare to my knowledge. Good Luck!
Yeah you are probably going to need to change the front crankshaft seal as well
I have the same code p0171
damn they built it into the engine... thats sucks! i can replace my Jags in one second
Same with my Saturn(other car)... couple seconds and the PCV is new. Not with the Cruze unfortunately, If this ever happens again It's a whole other cover which are not cheap. Thanks for watching!
That's a loud ticking noise not good
so how do you know if its bad?
+Victor Sosa you get the code listed in the header, your car stalls, bucks, hesitates, etc. While driving, very rough idle, and it sounds like a very large vacuum leak under the hood. Watch the video again and listen very closely when I put my finger over the vent hole on the pcv. You will notice a change in the motors idle.
+JungleKing007 thanks i did aome more online research(youtubing) and just went and bought the vavle cover and gasket. will be changing it tomorrowafter work since i didnt have the t30 socket and dont feel like making a run back into town to the get it lol... its supposed to have suction when i put my finger over it correct?
+JungleKing007 the symptoms you described are exactly what my car is doing.
Mine does the same but no codes and the dealership said the cover is fine but says valve is burned out and I need to get a new 600$ intake manifold
Did you pay for it
This was covered under warranty. Unfortunately, this failure recently happened again so I was able to record performing the valve cover swap along with installation of a PCV bypass kit which is reported to fix the underlying issue. Video coming soon!
I was told by the dealer service that this repair wasn't covered under 100k powertrain warranty.
What model year Cruze? Part should be as the PCV valve is integrated into the valve cover. the Gm site site states 100,000 miles or 6 years, whichever comes first. I would suggest you get on the GM website and review their warranty page. Valve cover is listed. If the dealership you went to won't cover it, might be a good Idea to contact their main help line to find one that will stand behind the warranty.
@@jungleking007Channel 2015 Chevy Trax
I would contact GM/Chevrolet directly(not the dealer) for clarification and subsequent recommendation for a GM certified repair shop who will accommodate the repair. My understanding of the warranty especially on the "powertrain" are coverage of the engine and transmission or drive components are covered. You essentially have the same engine in your Trax as my Cruze.
Dude you almost have no coolant.
One of those things you live with owning a cruze. Coolant likes to disappear...
@@jungleking007Channel That's how you end up with melted pistons or a blown turbo. Check that out, you may have a leak.
