I don’t miss the days of having my cruze, it was a disaster problems every week, sold it last year and got a hyandai accent

Thanks for the video. I’ve had nothing but problems with the coolant system since I bought it brand new. It only had about 40k miles on it before I started noticing the coolant smell and had it serviced several times and they never solved the problem. I’m 100% sure the coolant tank is the problem now since it isn’t overheating and there is coolant residue on the inside of the hood right above the coolant reservoir. Bet my mechanic knew about it the whole time and ripped me off replacing other parts… I replaced the cap a while ago because people have said that is a common problem where the seal fails and fumes leak out, and it stopped for a little while. Still not happy that I’ve been breathing in poisonous fumes for long periods of time and such a simple fix could have avoided all of that. Chevy knows about it too and they won’t take responsibility

Actually just actually watched the actual #1 actual video that actually ever actually been on actual KZfaq actually!! #1 actual video 🏆💯

I bought a new domin tank and installed it thinking it would take away the coolant smell away but it did not so if it’s not broke leave it alone. Best thing to get rid of the smell is keep the windows up and ac on

Your videos have been alots of help.. my curze keeps ocer heating. And when i check the coolant its all gone.

It worked.Thanks for sharing this video.

Thanks for sharing this videos for Chevy cruze!

Mike , Lately when i get out of my car i can smell some coolant but i dont see anything leaking . would the smell be coming from that little vent and is normal or not? i dont smell in the car only when i get out when getting home

Hello there thanks the vid was so helpful. I have a question. Is it normal for the water to start boiling few seconds once I switch the car off. But while the car is running everything is normal, I have no water leak the water level is always the same when I check it in the morning after I let the car cool down overnight. Plus o have changed the cap and the reservoir recently. Thanks a lot.

Do I need to add the breather part to the NEW dorman coolant reservoir? Thanks for the help 👍🏼

Chevy had recalled several bcuz of water pumps going bad, its a common issue if coolant levels keep dropping without visual leaks you should probably take it to them.

The tip of that price got stuck on the cap and I didn’t notice and it kept it from flexing. I turned the car off and the res was “boiling”. I opened the cap later and popped that part out cleaned it out it back and it fixed everything. Google had me thinking head gasket.

Thanks man. Very informative.

So I have the new one in hand and it looks like that vent is only to release over fill/ over flow of coolant. No check valve seen. It’s actually open window at the neck of the tank.

hey there! If this part was removed from the car what will happen?

Yeah, I will never ever consider another Cruze. I've had a 2011 since it was 7,000 miles new. It didn't last a year and I've replaced everything in the cooling system at least once and some parts 3 or 4 times. It's got a little over 100k miles now. My opinion is GM built the cooling system to small at a little over one gallon, so it runs too hot and builds too much pressure as most have mentioned. Can't drive it far from home and have to carry a extra gallon of coolant in the trunk to keep topping it off. Wife has had it towed home more than once. Tow truck driver told me the Chevy Cruze is his number one business. My wife has kept it in very nice condition, but I'd be too embarrassed to pass it on to someone else knowing what a piece of shit it is. They're a great car if you don't mind the smell of hot coolant when you drive it, have plenty of good tools, love buying parts and lots of extra time to work on it. Every time you replace a leaking part it will leak somewhere else within a few days. Thanks GM!! Can't believe you guys kept cranking them out knowing there was a huge issue with these models. FYI... You can bleed off the pressure in the coolant reservoir if you are EXTREMELY CAREFUL. The cap has plenty of threads. Unscrew it VERY SLOWLY until it starts venting out of the pressure relief vent, as mentioned. Be patient until it stops boiling as this could could take up to 20 minutes. I've used this method on occasion to top it off to get home when it overheats and I don't want to wait an hour or two.

Just replaced mine with a dorman. But they don't come with the plastic vent piece. I emailed them, and they don't supply them. So I smell the coolant if my window is open.

Thanks for sharing someone was asking about this part it was missing ~~~~~

Work as a hood tech at Ford. Opened the resivouir the other day on an 03.. And I threw up.

Just realized that part is missing from my cruze's coolent tank 🤣

Your videos of been really helpful man if it's not one thing it's another with this fucking car I just did the water pump and thermostat on it filled up the coolant system make sure there was no air bubbles in it drove it yesterday was fine today it's pissiing it out fukkit antifreeze out of the fucking bottle. I appreciate your video so I know exactly what it is already thank you

So on the Chevy Cruze that I have I have tried to do a leak test but the air constantly comes out. The vent line isn't there and when I but any pressure on it the air blows out the side where the vent line is supposed to be.

Where is the side piece on the new Dorman tank you bought?? Is it not needed?

Is the condensation normal on all cars? and why does it do that

hi, does it can cause over heat?

Does Dorman prouduct better than GM prouduct??

Hey, so i recent changed my water outlet on my 2016 limited eco, did a pressure test, nomo leak, however after using the A/C or heat the coolant in the reservoir keeps going down with no signs of leak at all, in the pipes coolant is good and pressure is good but some how coolant is being leak only when i tap up the reservoir, any suggestions??? Btw i also changed the reservoir cap and the leak is still happening, am not sure if its the reservoir not being able to hold that pressure with coolant being in the reservoir

Is it normal to have the coolant level in the reservoir to go down over a year with out adding to it? Or should the level remain the same if there are no leaks? I noticed a sweet smell in the engine and saw slight smoke under heat shield. I then noticed the coolant level was 90% low in the reservoir, add new coolant to the proper level, let it idle for 20 minutes then drove it around. I no loner noticed the sweet smell and no more slight smoke coming from under the heat-shield of the engine. I did not find any leaks on the pavement under my Cruize either. Could low coolant have been my problem? It seems totally fixed now. Tx for your videos!

If there is no actual coolant leak, the actual fix is to run a vent hose from the vent hole and route it down under the actual car.

Coolant is leaking from that spot do I have to much coolant in my surge tank?

Does this get rid of the smell coming from the windshield vent?

thanks

Most Cruze have very low quality coolant reserviour

😍😍😍😍😍💳

The "actual" car Tha "actual" hood the "actual" coolant resivoir here, In the design of the "actual" reservoir Down here you can "actually" see don't drop it in the "actual" engine

Stop saying actual
