Notice that this video does not show specifically how to remove the coolant line from the engine block. The 17mm bolt. What tools were used to get back there? I've heard, but not confirmed it can be obtained by a socket and very long extension. He also doesn't show removal of the bottom bolts of the exhaust manifold. How are they accessed with the wastegate actuator in place? Check KZfaq for other video's. This makes the process seem a little over easy!

When installing the 17mm cooling line bolt, use a regular socket and pack it 3/4 full of paper towel. What happens is, when you push it on to try and start the threads into the block, the bolt head slides back into the socket and theres not enough threads showing to start it. Use a long extension. On the lower manifold nuts, place a small piece of paper towel over the end of the nut, then push your socket on, this keeps them tight in the socket so they won’t fall out. Watch a video on how to bleed cooling system, there’s a bleeder plug on the top of the radiator i didn’t know about.

What is the part where the cooling tubes are connected at is the black plastic that is attached to the motor

How do you get the lower left manifold 10mm stud in i cant get it started super super hard to reach i have a 2013 i am stuck and dont know what to do

Just the video I was looking for!! Great instructions, now I feel a little more confident to take on this project. Thanks!

I got a 2017 chevy malibu there saying turbo going to be around $800 and labor 1k what do you think the cause for new turbo is saying engine power reduced but if I turn off car for 10 seconds and turn back on goes away

Followed the video, everything went well, put in new oil, but when I start it it's making a ton of loud noise. Anyone know about this? Thank you

Do I need to upgrade my transmission on my cruze eco for a docas turbocharger

I just replaced my water pump, intake manifold, battery, thermostat, and spark plugs, however, I have a oil low pressure light at idle...just had an oil change, what is next, an oil sensor switch to take care of the low oil pressure light at idle.

OK so I got my scanner. I found multiple codes for maf baro, boost sensor ect. All low voltage codes. I erased them and drove the car and have yet to return. My scanner shows all values normal... Gremlins?

Can I ask what was the mileage on Chevy Cruze when you did this swap change. I have 2014 Cruze and wanted to keep an I on mileage just to see if I have problems like the one ur working on. Thanks for the video

So how’d you get that 17mm bolt out? That’s literally the last thing I can’t get loose...

Does it have to be reprogrammed after changing the turbo?

Really good video. Thanks!

Where did you buy the part?

good video but would like to see more of how it actually came out and when you put back in.

Very cool video! Thanks

Does anyone have a rough idea of how long this job should take?

Awesome video! Thank you.

I'm having trouble finding that kent moor tool

excellent video how much does it cost to change a turbo only labor😊

what ab the hose that’s plastic and has a clip at the head it has two e10 bolts screwed onto the turbo where does that go

Great video!

How long does it take to replace a turbocharger

The new oil return line I got was not A T45 bit it was A 3/8 size it was strange

wait towards the end, is that really how quiet it should sound?

Where you buy the turbocharger

How do I order this kit?

What kind of turbo?

Man you guys skipped a ton of steps, mostly the hard parts: 1. Getting that second bolt off the oil return is really difficult because its covered by the line itself. Also, if you want to have your warranty for your new turbo you're supposed to replace it. I believe you have to remove the cat to even get to it. You didnt show the removal of the cat.... 2. That 17mm bolt holding the coolant return is the WORST. Getting a wrench in there to get it off is very difficult. You didnt show that part, nor putting it back on. (I am literally looking for a video putting this back on, which I spent at least an hour on to no avail) 3. You also didnt show all of the gaskets that need to be replaced. Pretty important to do if you want to make sure you dont get any leaks on your brand new turbo. -sonic owner with turbo install in progress

So I literally just replaced one of these and I really have no idea how you guys manage without moving the ac compressor out of the way. It's an extra 6 screws and two wire connectors.

This video is incredible, thanks to this video I can know which part I have to change to my encore 2015. But here is my question for how long can I keep running my car with this code P0299?

Always have a oil return pipe on hand and on the estimate. The pipe is typically cracked or ready to fail when disturbed, even gently.

Why is mine smoking white after I replaced?

Did he skip the lower nuts on the manifold or am I tripping?

Were there any other issues with the removed turbo other than the cracks in the wastegate area? To hear GM talk about it you'd think they see that as almost normal.

Is the only way to prelube the turbo by cranking it without fuel? Can you just turn it to the on position and have oil start flowing to it then, or does oil not circulate until the engine is actually fully cranked and started?

Guys how the hell do i get the bolts underneath?!?! He very conveniently skipped that part!! Someone help! Im working on this rn 3pm PST. I can get the two edge ones. But i cant get the main two underneath the manifold. The turbo is directly in the way!

My turbo is throwing underboost codes sometimes, I heard all turbos cracked, did you do a boost leak test, before you actually replaced the turbo?

Thanks I have a cruze that needs the same thing

Where did you get your turbo and how much did it cost... If possible can you give me a link, please and thank you....

I have a chevrolet cruze 2014 Lt .My check engine light came on and I got a P0299 underboost condition. Does this mean I have to replace the turbo Like in this video ?

I replaced my Turbo on my 2014 Chevy Cruze LT and my car gives me a underboost code again with the new turbo and takes forever to get up to speed. Anyone know why this would occur?

When you drain the oil feed line to the turbo do you add that amount to the enigine oil? So the engine is 4 Liters plus the amound in the turbo?

Overall this is a helpful video. Some extremely important details that were left out...namely: Firstly. Re-installation of the right side water line secured with the 17mm banjo bolt and double washers is tricky and 100% by feel as there is a rubber hose above it obscuring the line of sight, plus the crush washer will want to fall off the end of the banjo bolt. Secondly, the oil drain is VERY difficult to install. One of the bolts is blocked by the drain and near impossible to secure and requires some creativity to tighten. then I recommend greasing both O-rings on the drain itself so they do not bind when slipping it into the block. You have to make sure the manifold is actually loose, not even on the studs and then you coax the drain into the block, fortunately it has a goose neck but it is tricky and time consuming. Be prepared to get your hand scraped up along the way.

Good job ❤

There's two bolts that hold the oil return line attached to the turbo. How'd you manage to remove the second bolt from up underneath?

good video, could have shown the lower bolts being removed from the intake, or at least said how many bolts where under it. one we had was leaking coolant, had to remove to replace hoses/ terrible engineering / customer teed off, less than 100 dollar parts labor intensive

Didn’t show how you hook up all the lines

Did you do a boost leak test? All turbos for the Cruze have some crack

Great job. I like to know what code did you got in order to replace the turbo ? I am getting P0299.

nice thank you

So I replaced the turbo and now it’s in limp mode. I don’t have my scanner and I’m lost. I’ve done a few of these and this is a first. Any suggestions?

If you don't mind me asking, what turbo did you use to replace the original one?

I was actually how you disconnected the coolant lines because you can't see them from top or bottom!

Hi, how much does the part cost??

Seems like that heat expansion at the waste gate causing cracks on the turbo is a common occurrence.

👍

Good video but only disagree with one thing I believe you should let the codes clear themselves instead of using a scan tool but I suppose that’s just preference

I wish you showed how you removed the bottom bolts on the exhaust manifold that’s why I came here

Easier way to crank it is flood mode, just mash the pedal to the floor before you crank and it won’t fire or add fuel. ;)

saved me $600 going to chevy the bottom hose for my turbo popped out

Needs to show more missing tasks.

is that $120 EN-49942 holding tool really necessary? or should one just be vewwwwy caweful to not twist the crap out of that coolant feed pipe when loosening? also, any idea if the underboost codes have stayed gone say, 12-15k miles later? halfheartedly hoping that an incoming aftermarket V3 PCV check valve replacement kit makes my 122k-mile "new" car magically run like new -- or at least stop popping P0299 every time I encounter a steep freeway onramp -- but the turbo is cheap enough and mine has enough miles under its belt that perhaps it wouldn't be the worst idea to replace if for no other reason than preventative maintenance... ?

My girlfriend paid $1,500 to have that done

Do yourself a favor take it to a shop or gave another car ready. This is definitely not as easy as the video

Looks like an easy job as unreliable as they cars are easy to fix

It's not a easy job but doable junky motor do yourself a favor buy a Malibu or impaila don't buy this shit
