i have the same problem code P0299

Thank you 👍

This engine swapped in a miata? I don't know about that lol

Thanks for the comment 👍

Clean oil is super important for these turbos . It's crazy how people neglect the simple things

Thanks for the comment

You're welcome

@@themechanic6117hey good afternoon. I have the same problem with my chevy trax 2015. I live in Maywood area. Any chance u have time in your schedule?

Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching

You're welcome

It can be good and bad at the same time, as it's next to the hot exhaust it heats up the oil very quickly which is good for the winter time but still bad for the oil because the constant heat wears it out very quickly as well which makes it thicker.. and this is why you need to replace the oil more frequently and not wait too long. This goes for every turbocharged vehicle..

Good luck

Thanks for watching 💪

That's a pretty good idea .thanks for the tip

😁👍

😂agreed

I've seen car with that turbo engine completely neglected and a ton of miles and it's still kicking. I guess some cars are luckier than others

I guess I got lucky on mine. It finally kicked the bucket after 135k miles

Head gasket....that sounds like fun lol. That heatshield is definitely a good idea

@@themechanic6117 I believe the name of the company that sells the tube with the heatshield installed is DAYTON ?. It was 94 degrees here today so "I let my wife talk me out of" (LOL !) working on the Buick. I married an absolute DOLL this time....and it's HER car !! We've got 144K on this Encore. GRERAT little car and YES it's surprisingly QUICK !! I used to drag race and this little pooch got MY attention !! When I get this finished, we'll out some miles on it and trade it as long as I know it's Ok. I'm like you. I find NO joy in screwing people. I used to sell cars and had a LOT of repeat customer or they were bringing their neighbors/kids to buy a car. As it should be !! Thanks again !

Thanks for watching

If you finished the video you'll see that I replaced the line with a new one

Thank you 👍

Thanks for watching 😁

It's not the best design but it's also not a horrible job to do.

Chevy thunder ! 🤣

Of course I see your comment when researching my issue haha. Likely bringing mine in soon.

Most likely the turbo was the bad part all along

I put a new turbo in my car but still got the p0299 code...

Check for cracks in any of the plastic tubes. They can Crack and allow boost pressure to escape

Ok I'll check all the plastic tubings .. 👍👍

It's hard to say, the job can get done in a few hours

My friend bought a sonic brand new and within a few months it had already been back to the dealer for "defective parts" two times .not a good sign . Those cars are nothing but problems

🤣🤣😁

Unfortunately I only ordered one for myself.

Ha! 🤣🤣

Hey have the same issue I changed the turbo with a new one also changed the 2 oil lines and getting under boost code

Did you figure out what was wrong

Have to keep it family friendly lol

🤣🤣

You're right. I learned my lesson

What brand turbo do you like? Recommend. I need to replace mine on my 2013 and all 4 lines.

@The mech a nic

From other comments I read, it looks like the one he was trying to clean is an oil feed line

Oil feed and oil return lines

Ebay

It was a few hundred off ebay but you can get a oem turbo off rockauto for about $400

Just a regular turbo off ebay

It's just a generic usb camera that you can find on ebay or Amazon. Yes it connects to your phone

Great idea! Never thought of that. Time to do that in preparation for next time I need something like that

@@themechanic6117 I was just helping The Canadian Bubba clean a carburetor- I advised him to make an impromptu ultrasonic cleaner. Whatever container you have for the part, use a 50:50 mix of ATF + Acetone, and attach an unbalanced motor, or (best) a $25 Harbor Freight engraver to the container. Dial it in, until you see the destructive waves hitting each other, like little hammers. Ultrasonic vibrations are key to cleaning. Throw in an aquarium heater- hot solutions work even better. An actual heated unit is only $50 on Amazon, great for stuff like injectors, tubing, etc.

Ebay, but you can get a oem part from rockauto at a Decent price

Ebay I believe, it's not a oem part

In Chicago IL, I can't remember the price but I know it was less than $1000

Yeah they're definitely junk

Sorry I don't. The turbo came from ebay so if you search chevy cruze turbo it'll pop up. On ebay they're pretty much all the same aftermarket turbos. The pipes and Hoses you can find on Amazon, turbo oil inlet and turbo oil return.

This is aftermarket. You have two option. Cheap aftermarket or expensive oem

@@themechanic6117 can you send me link to the one you got for this replacement?

I don't have a link for it. It's just a generic turbo off of ebay. They pop up everywhere once you start searching

@@themechanic6117 Thanks! will be getting those 2 lines as well, glad I saw your video/advice

Sounds like it needs to go back to the shop that you paid.

@@themechanic6117 yeah it’s going tomorrow and hopefully they can fix the issue.

This turbo is nothing fancy. Just a cheap one off ebay

That's a possibility

Ebay

Ebay

Link?

This is why it's critical to change those two pipes I showed but it's just a bad design overall

well u missed some thing on the first one.

Yeah , let's make this almost boiling oil return via a plastic tube....it'll be fine . 😁chevy garbage

Thomas, you sure are making your rounds lol Nice to see you in here, watching this young man at work.

Thomas is the best! 👍💪

I don't think that's necessary, just make sure the feed and return are clear of obstructions

Thank you for the quick reply mine was a real nightmare the bottom oil line broke off in the engine so had to sit and pick the rest of it out with a pick and it was 6 degrees out today in ohio

That sounds like it sucks, I always recommend replacing both the return and feed line. If there's any restriction in the old feed line it'll destroy the new turbo.

Yeah I am replacing all the lines and oil but still nervous that a peace of plastic fell down the return line hole

But hopefully if it did it comes out with oil change

This one wasn't but sometimes they do

Sorry I don't. On a chevy parts website it's pretty easy to find the parts you need

Where are you located?

@@themechanic6117 Lake in the Hills, Illinois

@@themechanic6117 10 min away from 90 Jane Adams

Oh ok. Message me on Instagram or Facebook

@@themechanic6117 I send a message not sure if I message the right person.

🤣👍

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

Yes! Not a sponsor! 🤣

🤣

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like they purposely cleared the check engine light to just sell the car

@@themechanic6117 OH! MY! GOSH! That is EXACTLY what I was thinking..... and no way to prove it I'm sure. Smh I literally can't BEGIN to describe the consequences on ME because of their apparent dishonesty. 🥺

evap purge solenoid valve - $20 on amazon, 5 min to change

I'll keep an eye out for updated parts. I can only do so much. The original part didn't have a heat shield and neither did the new part.
