I Also have a silver Cruze and I love your mods I'm in my 60's very mechanically good was ase certified back in late 80's early 90's, but turned to concrete work because of financial reasons but anyway I started having issues with my Cruze and got your videos, let's just say that I'm subbed to you because that manifold fix is probably the most ingenious thing I've seen and it's very easy and practically every car that has this 1.4 should have this ,the engineers at gm should be fired and you should be the lead designer, in my opinion keep making these videos you rock
This is a pretty well sorted Cruze! Lots of details some folks might not appreciate. I'd get some fresh paint on thise bars underneath and soak the whole thing yearly in Fluid Film. Take care!
in Europe this KIT is not known yet I believe, however looks very usefull. In Poland for example the Valvecover cost nearly 300$ (you mentioned in the video that it cost just 50$ at the delaership) + (Manifold with red valve can be fixed by mechanic in Poland by 100$ cost as remanufactured) so it is really expensive in comparison to your PCV KIT. Therefore just wonder how to buy it with shiping to Poland ;)
@@davorpl5627 that's crazy since the valve covers are made in Poland so I wonder why there is so much upcharge. I just ordered a pcv kit today and I am eager to put it on!
Thanks (: Yours has held up well. Nice oil filter add on / also acts like a cooler as well. My v2 kits have been working well still 25k & 4 year almost on my 2012 & more than that on my 14. Hopefully I can get the eco I found online today it would nice. Thank for all of your help / advice & videos. Be safe
Those 8 ohm subs are actually house speakers. They work better for loud guitar, etc. They are not very good for bass. They are technically "loud" speakers. Not sure of what kind of music that you like though.
They were initially recommended by Matt Borgardt, lead engineer and designer for Image Dynamics. They’re usually pro audio subs for guitar amps and PA speakers. They’re not good for *synthetic* bass but they’re amazing for everything else. Mainly due to limited excursion, but what they lack in excursion, they make up for in cone area. The super low moving mass gives them amazing transient response and snappy bass that hits you in the chest. I don’t listen to any rap/hip-hop or anything like that and I can hardly tolerate them at max volume. They’re the most accurate and musical subs I’ve ever heard, and I design home theater speakers as a hobby so that’s saying something. They’re loud for sure, but not as loud as, say, 18” Dayton Ultimax. They’re very good as Infinite baffle speakers though. They’ve been in service since 2013 and have been flawless.
I put AUXITO m3 LED bulbs on my 2002 Acura MDX and they work really well for only $40 for the pair. They are supposed to be 12k lumens. But my buddies bulbs are supposed to be 20k lumens, and these Auxito's look about the same. IDk much about LED headlights-- but so far these are definitely an upgrade. Now when I turn my bright lights on, it doesn't even help that much more - SO I'll probably end up getting the LED's for those too I guess.
I did the PCV fix on my sisters 2011 Cruze. It worked out great. But a year or two later, she ran it out water and it overheated really bad because she kept driving it anyway when I told her not to. It was also two quarts low on oil and the motor had a knock or rattle sometimes (not good obviously). Then several months of driving later a cylinder went down/ misfires- from a blown head gasket....... Then a blessing from above-- someone hit her car while it was parked and the insurance totaled it. lol.. Completely saved her azz.. ... For anyone looking to buy a Cruze, I personally wouldn't recommend it. If you want to buy domestic, get a full sized truck: That's what America knows how to build well. Otherwise, for SUV or cars-- Go buy Honda/ Acura or Toyota/ Lexus.
Same thing that happens when it fails on its own; it gets ingested by the engine and burned up in the combustion chamber. Haven’t seen any issues occurring from either it failing on its own or it being broken intentionally to install the kit as preventive maintenance.
Did you do the nanny valve delete and the Reservoir fill mods to the clutch? I've debated doing those, but the reservoir is so damn hard to Reach. I went to a yard and pulled the line and Reservoir were it attaches to the firewall to see if I could replace it with just a straight tube but that didn't look feasible either because of the custom connection at the firewall.
Yes. I designed the clutch accumulator bypass that’s available on the badnewsracing.net site, and I also removed the clutch delay orifice. The bypass includes an adapter tool to remove the accumulator cap as well.
Hey big man, i have a question. I dont know how else to reach out besides your comments. After replacing my transmission i have a really rough idle. Replaced my valve cover and my spark plugs (which had oil all over them) and still idles rough. Dont know where to go and im tired of throwing money at it
Vacuum leak. If you’re not certain of where, then I’d get the cruzekits boost leak test kit and pressurize the intake system to see where your leak is. I assume you have a check engine light too?
