Thanks for posting this. Just finished the repair. I did a few things differently but overall this was the best video. I didn't have to lift the car - still was easy enough to access rear nut on the long line. The top hose to quick connect was brutal the first day - I had to step away after hours of trying to get it to connect...second day trying to get it I just took the bumper cover off and had it locked in about 10 minutes with the help of the needle nose vice locks. Access/room to work with the bumper cover off was so much easier. Thanks for the video.

Thank you so much for this video...Thanks to you and other instructional KZfaqrs I am going from a girl who couldn't change a tire a month ago to fixing this EXACT same problem in my car today MYSELF! Can't thank you enough.

Also love the closeup of the clip. Mine are fighting me and it was reassuring to come back here and see the close up

loved the close up on how to take the clip off.

Thank you very much for the video!! I watched it 2 or 3 times and replaced my line with little trouble. It's nice to see it done beforehand so one will know what to expect.......right down to pricing and part number!! Thanks again.

I just have to say WOW! This was by far the best automotive fix it yourself video I have ever seen. The detail and steps you go through is absolutely amazing, I was able to change my own lines saving $600 in labor alone from the Chevy dealer. Thank you so much, you are AWESOME. For those attempting I just have to say give yourself a good 4 to 6 hours and take your time. And as far as needing the needle nose vise grips I was able to reach up and underneath the car and pull both lines out and push them in without, you have to go around the frame support but I was able to do it quite easily. Either way it works. Again thanks for the great video. 😃👍

Great video with all those part description and so on good job

Awesome video! It's always nice to be able to watch someone else do something before tackling it yourself.

This was one of the strangest jobs I’ve ever completed, because putting everything back together was somehow much easier than getting it all out. I thought getting the lines out was tough, but getting them back in was pretty easy. He’s right when talking about the longer line toward the back of the car-keep pushing it farther and farther back, until you get the whole thing up on top of the engine. Then it’ll just pull out. Don’t try to take it out to the left when looking at the front of the car. Getting the lines in the right spot in the front of the car, at the radiator, was surprisingly easy. One thing to note, I did this job in February 2023, and the lines I got from GM had slightly different bends in them than the originals. What this led to was the 2 lines being farther apart in the area shown at 5:10 in the video. I didn’t end up putting that clip back on, because the new lines were too far apart. Also, the part at 11:15, because of the different angles in the new lines, mine didn’t fit into those clips. If your lines are the newer version, I’d suggest putting in the shorter one first. Other things-getting that C clip in on the upper line was an SOB. Took forever. I have 2014 Cruze, and mine has only 1 vibration clip rather than 2. Additionally, I didn’t lose but a few drops of transmission fluid. All in all, with a few snags that I should have known better, it took me about 6 hours. I didn’t have a pick tool, which was a mistake. Having that will help a lot and save time. I found the vices grips were necessary for getting the lines out but not getting them back in. I was able to get my hand behind there and push them in. Pulling them out though is a different story, so I do think the vice grips are a must. When working on the upper line, make sure that black round clip doesn’t start to slide down the pipe. Mine did, and getting back up was a little bit of a pain.

Great video very well explain great job 👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻

Все подробно описал, спасибо!!!

I've watched a lot of car videos and yours is probably the best. Clear pictures and instructions.

If ur looking to save your self time and trouble just take the front cover where ur license plate or where the Chevy symbol is no Jack needed this way.

I got halfway through but cannot for the life of me get that upper cooling line re-seated in the manifold. I’ve tried every angle possible and my line is all shredded now from my needle nose pliers. Haven’t failed at a repair like this before…gonna have a few beers and revisit in the morning

Good video... As it's cold and I don't have the patience right now... To the mechanic it goes 😂😂😂

I like your "Do not cut" marking! It happened to me once but I had them put my shield back like it was.

Great video...took me a few hours with a shop full of tools....no room to work!

this video help me a lot i have the same probleme thank you man

Thanks for the video, you are good explaining, just one thing, on video description you have lines location wrong

hello the long valve goes to the top and the short goes to the bottom?

Thank you

Extraordinarily well-planned and carried out repair in an engine bay with no extra room to work in, unless you remove the parts as you showed us. Did you consider just tightening up the leaking compression fittings on the existing hoses by just putting one or more worm drive hose clamps over them until the leaking stopped?

I am currently experiencing a leak from around the area of these lines! That it’s causing a puddle on the engine mount directly below the lines, I’m just curious when I go to Rockauto to buy the lines will I have to buy any additional O rings or Clips or just the 2 upper and lower cooling lines???

I have a 2012 chevey cruze and had the trans oil cooler lines replaced as well as the inlet and outlet transmission lines and still notice some leaking, does that mean the repair/replacement did not work and it could be something else? Thanks for your informational video. Now I know what to say when i go back to the mechanic Thanks!

Can someone please tell me how to disconnect the connector the transmission connector on the transmission module like the cover I can't seem to figure out how to get it off and I don't want to break it I have a 2015 Chevy Cruze trying to get to the transmission module to clean it in the solenoids and all that but I can't seem to get that clip off that Big Clip with the red and gray

Hi Mr95Kenny, could a leakage from the pipes you replaced cause the cruze to feel like it has less power when accelerating?. Or what could be the effects of those two pipes leaking. My cruze takes time to pick up when accelerating and i noticed quite a heavy leakage.

Thanks for this video! Going to save me some money! Can I just use one Jack stand as I only need to remove front driver side tire?

Thanks!!

Mr95kenny I'm curious to ask,,, I've got a burnt smell coming thru when my car sits in idle. I was told it's from the leaky line dripping on something hot. My leak is worse than yours was, but did you get a burnt smell from it? I'm wondering if it really is from the cooler line leak or if I have something else going on too.

Do these lines still go bad even if you maintained the fluid im just tryna see if i can avoid having to change em

Do you know of any good video where it shows on how to replace the front wheels bearing and hub assembly for the cruze.

In this video, the line that has the leak, is that the upper or lower line? I need to replace the same line on mine, and the only description from parts store says 'upper line'

Ive changed oil ive changed shocks and struts and alternators and control arms do you think i can do this? Do i need any special tools

Hi my cruze 2011 start to leak from the transmisión cooling pipe base, near from the part where you put transmission oil, what could be the problem? May be it over fill?

My lines have some play in them on the quick connect side after the clip is on, is that normal?

Push in and out to remove

I believe my cooler lines busted all my transmission fluid was thrown out and hot idled engine sign came on can I buy the part at a autozone or orileys

So as a GM employee, how aware is GM of the underlying PCV issues if I may ask?

Is removing the hose at 4:00 necessary or just makes life easier? I pulled on that thing for a half hour tonight and couldn't get it to budge.

Hey man have you done the front crankshaft seal yet ??

Would this be the same set up on a 2016 Chevy sonic ?

Do you need to remove the engine mount to bring out the rear line?

Which line is the inlet to the radiator? Is is the bottom line or the top line?

I had the lines replaced...when I drive for a long period of time Transmission hot Idle engine pops up on the dash...do you know why it would do this?

You didn’t show how to take those bolts that are attached to the radiator do.

Mr95kenny ordering the right parts was confusing. Most part stores only sell the longer line. The description calls this the upper. Dorman 624-555. The short line- one with leak in your video- you won't find the words upper or lower anywhere to describe it. Same gm# you list. I got both lines at rockauto. Short line listed as ACDELCO 39066278

Hello! In the middle of changing my lines, cause I had a leak, and I’m discovering that the old line has one female and one male end. The new line I ordered has two male ends. It’s a 2016 but has the 2015 body style with the turbo gas engine. I cannot find a male/female end line, only male/male end lines on the internet. Have any advice? Thanks!

Does it matter which oil line I remove first?

at minute 3:45 to 3:48 there is a silver piece that joins the hoses, I would like to know the name of that piece

I.must have the Cruze that was either built on a Monday or Friday. Have to remove my bumper to get one of them damn lines out. Installed wrong that's for sure. I swear Chevy misspelled Curse. Because that's what this car has been since I bought it.

Do you think someone with no mechanic skill could do this? I was quoted 366$ to replace my transmission cooler lines and I have been interested in repairing my own car

At how many miles did your transmission lines leak and fail?

General Motors 22865480, 22865479 Deflector. do not know what it looks like?

Doing this than selling the piece of shit

Battery does not have to come out..

please a leak in the transmission line preventing the vehicle from starting

Where did you get the line connectors? 6:49
