Had the same problem once before on my 2019 Chevy Trax, same exact 1.4L Ecotec engine. Water pump gave out on me at 52K miles (free replacement under warranty). I've gotten the water pump replaced after that.
I watched many videos as I have an issue on my 2012 odyssey mounts. This video added a lot of info and made it seem easy to do. For the front mount, removing the battery tray and accessing the front mount from that angle looks great. I have more confidence now to tackle my mounts. Thank u so much.
Your head is already warped when the engine warms up the heat pulls the center of the head up just enough to let the compression into the cooling system.
I had bubbling in the reservoir. I changed the thermostat and a heat sensor. But it kept doing it. I had air int je system. I had to empty the radiator from the bottom. I bought a new reservoir . Before putting new coolant in. There is a white screw / plug on the radiator topright passenger side unscrew that add coolant slowly. When coolant comes out the hole. Plug up hole and turn on car keep an eye on the reservoir add slowly until filled between min and max.
I just had this nightmare. I fixed the thermostat and got air in my system. I had to flush the radiator and on passenger side top of radiator there is a plug/ screw open that. Add coolant slowly until coolant leaks thru radiator screw back plug. Turn on car and watch level. I also got a new reservoir. And it's good to go
I appreciate ur thoroughness had a guy who did my mounts and took off my fan assembly and couple screws were rusted on bottom so he just left it dangling so th fan has been shaking,I jacked it up and put couple screws in 2 arms attached to fan and bottom tray of radiator I shimed them alil and drilled fo screws and shaking has stopped like th idea of removing battery tray thsnk you emano
You literally just saved me from the exact same issue. I already burned out 2 starters sadly until I also realized I had the wires hooked incorrectly on my starter relay similar to your video thank you for the awesome save!!! 🎉
My Cruze's coolant boiled and gushed out of the kettle. The repair shop said it needed an engine replacement. I was thinking of crashing it into a tree, but after seeing this video, I'm willing to give it a try.
We just bought a 2013 Chevy Cruze with the same engine and it started overheating the day we got it and we replaced the thermostat housing and then it started smoking out the engine and found out it has a blown head gasket. $4,000 down the drain because we can't find a mechanic within a hundred miles that will do head gaskets anymore
You might not want to go for a head gasket replacement. There is a good chance that the engine is toast. A good, honest shop should be able to evaluate the damage, but you will probably have to pay a diagnostic fee.
@@taylorbible in my experience most Chevy Cruze that I have worked on ended up being the thermostat, cooling fan, coolant reservoir or water pump. It's necessary to eliminate all those possibilities before condemning the head gasket.
Nice video. From my experience in replacing alternators with a aftermarket reman sometimes you get lucky and they last. Sometimes you don't and they fail few months later. For Toyota owners I rec denso aftermarket remanufactured alternator and starters. When I was a sales guy in parts for kraken I would tell them lifetime alternators. Never pay for a alternator again. But didn't tell them how many times they would have to take it out if it fails. Lol
Fully agree, had a honda I was convinced it had a noisy bearing, turned out to be carcase damaged/torn inside the rubber. Also look from behind when spinning, sometimes damage is side to side distottion
CHEVY CRUZE. JUNK JUNK JUNK!!!! I BOUGHT ONE, BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER!!! IT SAT IN MY DRIVEWAY BROKEN DOWN MORE THAN IT WAS DRIVEN!! STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!! BIGGEST POS MADE!!
