2014 Chevy Cruze coolant leak diagnosis

[@bricengoller7443]

Holy shi man this wasn’t my problem but seeing this made me realize what the problem was😂😂 the hose right above that with the pin, I put it in..backwards 😬

[@dozingprankz7834]

Great now what else it put backwards

[@allornothing6052]

This same thing happened to me this AM. OG part from 2013 it lasted 11.5 yrs and 272,000

[@daddi04]

Absolutely shocked it's lasted THIS long. I've replaced mine 3 times since 2015. Also 3 thermostat housings, the radiator and water pump. LUV 1.4 turbos are total garbage.

[@hill_customs6807]

Drain all of the orange coolant out and refill with green and it will have less problems..

[@daddi04]

@hill_customs6807 why is that?

[@hill_customs6807]

@@daddi04 the orange dexcool is corrosive and it eats plastic and rubber fast..

[@daddi04]

@hill_customs6807 the coolants been drained out more times than I can count. Auto Zone universal antifreeze for 9 years and still nothing but problems. In fact it ate another thermostat housing just last Saturday!!

[@MicahBratt]

Just fixed mine. It was cracked and broken in the same spot

[@zDesireable]

Easy fix?

[@janaydossie5048]

Mine is the hose on top, what’s that one called

[@kyotodreams3306]

Heater hose

[@matthewbaur6875]

@@kyotodreams3306 Wrong. The hose at the very top is the coolant bypass hose that returns to the reservoir. The hose just below that is the oil cooler inlet hose.

[@matthewbaur6875]

On the Chevy parts site, it is just called an "engine coolant hose". Other places will call it a "bypass hose".

[@ladyelephant9589]

My coolant bypass hose is leaking and I stg if I have to change the water outlet AGAIN I am going to lose it with this Cruze.

[@denisekindacraftyo2635]

What is the hose please

[@zDesireable]

Radiator hose

[@matthewbaur6875]

Upper radiator hose.

[@gregoliver739]

So you got a video of how to replace it?

[@WhiteblurrST]

Whats the size are the bolts holding the outlet housing? I see there not normal 6 point bolts.

[@hill_customs6807]

E10 or E12 cant remember.

[@sremik]

Do you have a video of the fixing

[@hill_customs6807]

No. These videos are just to show the customers what is wrong with their cars.

[@marcusreyes35]

I just replaced mine yesterday. I got charged 320$ total. Idk if thats a good price or not?

[@hill_customs6807]

About right.

[@jbuck1975]

Mines losing coolant and i cant find the problem.

[@manuelsheehan912]

So what did u do? I can't find my leak either😊

[@jbuck1975]

​@manuelsheehan912 I used pressure tester rented from oreillys. Found leak replaced seals on oil cooler pipes. Now I'm leaking from thermostat housing area. So I've gotta do that now.

[@allyc2638]

What type of hose are you holding in that video?

[@denisekindacraftyo2635]

I need to know the hose too

[@boryan9737]

I need to know what that hose is! I replaced the housing then that hose split on me

[@zDesireable]

Radiator hose

[@mariahthompson715]

About how much would it cost to have an auto shop replace that ?

[@hill_customs6807]

That would all depend on the hourly shop rate. Diagnosis. Plus like 1.5 Labor and parts. Could be over $400

[@Thebiggestbigworm]

I literally just replaced mines this weekend... its costed me $40 and I did it myself pretty straight forward if youre familiar with working on cars But if not shouldnt be that much

[@Ro-gelio]

Bruh, those fools at Flash auto wound up stiffing me for over $1200 when i told them this is all it needed! I'm livid...😤

[@October.28]

It's a easy fix get the aluminum part

[@texanforealz565]

What exactly is that water outlet called

[@hill_customs6807]

Thermostat housing

[@luisaguilar4036]

But when u look it up it shows the thermostat sensor

Its called the coolant water outlet... I thought it was the thermostat housing as well but the thermostat is located neat the air filter inside your engine bay
