Please sell it while it is still time,,,

@@LOLONO666 nah I’ll run it into the ground

​@@MooseBeCanadianIt's probably just the purge valve ticking

@@GadGetHackss put about 15,000 hard KM on it and replaced the overflow hose and wateroutlet with an aluminum one. It's at about 287K right now. If i make it to 300K I'm thinking ill replace the purge valve and valve cover gasket.

The lifter noise is usually pretty present with or without the ac on. AC when on adds quite a bit of load, especially on smaller engines so there could be another issue causing the noise, belt tensioner may be noisy the AC compressor itself may be noisy, the engine may not be handling the load of the AC well, injectors may be ticking under higher load or possible weak spark under load so check plugs and the big coil pack. But it wouldn’t condemn the lifters under just that circumstance. Good luck 👍.

Hello, I have the same problem, I replaced the timing chain with tensioner and guides, because of course they were bad, but the knock is still there, the car drives perfectly fine now, but the knock is there, I know that the problem are this lifters because I can move them the the fingers, but I can’t find no video how to replace them. Do you have any video of those being replaced?

It's in German. But speaks for itself. I have the same problem. Not sure whether I'm gonna go for it or sell the car. Maybe just another engine, but that's also lot's of work

​@@dueck303I've forwarded a how to video hereunder. Good luck

These turbos crack on the hot wheel(exhaust) side right along the dump valve. Causing a lack of boost, most people replace the turbo( can be expensive) or if you know a good mechanic with a welder they can remove the turbo and weld the crack. I’ve done that fix before but it take some finesse with a welder. It’s a tight spot. Anyhow good luck.

Lifter noise is pretty top end and they vary from being a loud tick and a slight knock. But I would get a good mechanic to verify that yourself, since I have no way of hearing your car. But like in my video I explain how it’s quite easy to check the lifters. Good luck 👍

Depends where you live. I’m shopped in Ontario Canada, mind you I’m a small independent shop that’s way under any dealer rates but I ball park the job with parts, labour and fluids around $800 -$1000 Canadian depending on the parts they want and if they want new timing chain kit, plugs, valve cover etc while I’m in there.

In my updated comment I did in fact say it corrected the issue of noise and the knock sensor code. Your dealer is trying to make the most off of you, no surprises. Find a mechanic who is familiar with timing chain jobs and they should be able to replace the lifters no problem. But no you cannot replace them without the camshafts being fully removed. I’d save the time myself and do it that way if I could, but unfortunately it cannot be done with just taking the valve cover and removing them. Much more needs to be removed to access them. Good luck 👍.

@FishHONtopBiz ​thanks for the response, greatly appreciated, now i need to find someone out here not looking to rip anyone off lol.. since the pandemic there is an Epidemic of overcharging going on. nice to see honest people putting up vids at least.

I’m a little confused at this so I’ll ask some questions in return to clarify. Just because the cap isn’t pressurized doesn’t mean the coolant won’t get hot, are the hoses cold when it’s running all the time or is their just no pressure on the cap when you take it off? Pressure is built up by the water pump and the system being sealed, there may be a small leak, possibly cracked on the bottom of the reservoir they’re common on cruze’s or somewhere else, or the water pump is not pumping/ producing pressure. Does the car have heat when you turn the heat on? Does the engine overheat after driving awhile? Are you just adding water or properly mixed coolant? Was the coolant system bled properly after the thermostat was changed?

Yes it was very noticeable at idle in park

They pull out from where there seated in to. I usually use a good set of standard plier and grab the top of them and pull them up. There in there pretty snug but they will pull out that way.

​@FishHONtopBiz was the rocker on the bad lifter pushed forward, almost falling off the lifter? Like noticeably different than all the others?

Can’t remember exactly, but I’ve done a few now that were 100- 150K on them.

Happens to be my current province.

Mines is doing the same did u ever find out why it was making the noise?

@@someoneyoumightknow2805 nope

@@SGTJDerek well shit

@@someoneyoumightknow2805 for all intents it acts like there's a vacuum leak. I've sprayed it with brake cleaner and can't find one. Have to shift it manually but I'm babying the hell out it. Shifting @35-3800rpm. I really want to get some REAL gauges on it. The diagnostic machine says everything is "within spec". I ABSOFREAKINGLUTLY HATE COMPUTERS on mechanical devices. So much easier to find issues when you don't have 6 different sensors giving 6 different options.
