Hey Good People,
This video is a follow up to the diagnostic video I did on this 2013 Chevrolet Cruze which you can check out here : • Chevy Cruze Overheatin...
In this video, I wanted to show you the removal process of the Turbo on the 2013 Chevy Cruze. I had to remove the turbo to replace the turbo cooler lines.
I hope this video helps anyone who may be doing a turbo or turbo related repair on one of these vehicles.
Thanks For Watching,
Your favorite Mechanic, Alex

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME VIDEO !! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH !! I'm 70 years old and can't afford paying big money to a garage. I'm a retired Jet engine mechanic but certainly don't know it all. I VERY MUCH appreciate your video to help people learn the best way to do these jobs. I'm at the point of removing he Turbo, on my way to the head gasket ......yeah I can see ALLLLL that "fun" up ahead already !! LOL !! I'll get it !! anyways, I said "self, I bet there's a good YOU TUBE Video to help me learn with a little less aggravation" .... and VOILA !! Here you are !! You have a new subscriber ! I truly believe this is the BEST video on "the tube" for this job. Thank You soooo much !! You have a GREAT attitude and would be an EXCELLENT teacher in my opinion. Something you may want to think about down the road !! (as we get older our bones don't move like they used to ....TRUST ME !! LOL !!) Really enjoyed your video and will CERTAINLY come visit you again the next time I'm in trouble !! Have a GREAT DAY and thank you once again !!

I cannot believe that GM couldn't come up with a better place to put that Turbo metal oil line other than right next to the manifold ! I have seen those metal tubes get clogged up with burnt up crusty oil to many times . Do your customer a favor and clean it out for them . They will appreciate it ! Great video !

Informative and thorough, your work deserves more attention. When I did this job on a 2011 Cruze, I didn't take the cat out. It was enough just to remove the bolt on the bracket holding it to the engine, that allowed enough wiggle to pop it off the downpipe. I like how you kept the budget down by only replacing the parts that were broken. If your fixing your car on a budget or just getting in to doing your own auto work, keep in mind that OEM parts are expensive and not always necessary. Sometimes, they're not even the best quality option. Most of the time, a third party option from Korea or China will do the job just fine. This does not apply to the cheapest knockoff of the most complicated engine parts, but generally: if it's on Rock Auto or being sold at NAPA, it will be good enough to last until you upgrade your ride. I've ran multiple third-party water pumps, belts, coils, and even engine bearings for 5+ years, until I have sold the car. But use this guy to tell you how to install it.

On my own personal cars, I don't put those plastic panels back on when I have to remove them. Up north, they trap the salt and keep me from rinsing the bottom of the car. So it's a lot easier to rinse the salt if they aren't there and obviously to reach everything to fix it.

My mechanic told me that it's best to replace the lines as well as the turbo itself just to make sure that the leak is fixed. Do you think it's necessary to replace the turbo as well? I want to see whether I can save some bucks by using the same turbo. Thanks again.

Alex is there a way to see where that leak came from near the the turbo by visual inspection? I know it was covered by the heat shield. I had my coolant reservoir replaced because it was a leak and 2 hoses because of coolant damage because the hose was soft. The shop did the work. Put pressure through the system before to check for leaks and and after when the work was done to check for leaks. I left and 9 days later same issue. Come to find out there was a secondary leak from rusted pipes from coolant line going to the turbo. In your opinion if you did the work on the reservoir and 2 hoses wouldn't you check other lines leading from or associated with the coolant just to make sure there isnt any issues so you might want to inform the customer? Thanks. Oh I have a 2012 Chevy Cruz Eco with 116k miles.

I just replaced the coolant reservoir on a 2012 Cruze a few months ago. It was definitely cracked and leaking. Now it's back in our shop, came in after overheating. Coolant was low. I filled it and pressure tested again. No leaks, no pressure drop. Sat on the lift under pressure for 30 minutes before I got drips. If you pull the tube the leak goes away. Not an obvious leak and sometimes doesn't leak depending on how it's positioned. Just poor design by GM.

My coolant line, was not that easy to get off. The line move because the connection with the line and the 17mm nut are so tight. I wish you would have shown how to get it back on.

Great video 🙏🏽. I just have one question. When installing the turbo and coolant lines you removed with the 17 mm or Vice grip. Did you have a problem with the coolant line on the left reaching the hole? For some reason that coolant line for me won’t reach any tips you can give me I am ordering the new coolant line hopefully it works better.

Hey Alex, yeah I’m talking about the rubber hose the last coolant line. For some reason when I put the turbo back. I was unable to plug that coolant bolt in it’s hole. I ordered a new coolant line. Hopefully it works 🤦🏻‍♂️. I might try to take out the cat and do it from under

Hey man, I really appreciate the video it’s helped me out a ton with the process but something that’s so damn strange is that after I installed and put everything back my car’s like now having problems staying on. Like once I turn it on it’s starts but after like 2-5 second it starts to sound like a lil weird and it shuts off. I had someone come and take a look but they had no idea, and after days of researching stuff I found stuff relating to the “mass airflow sensor” but I’m no sure if it could be the problem because I never touched it or even changed anything near it. I’D APPRECIATE ANY HELP WHAT SO EVER MAN! Appreciate the video though fr!🙏🏼

You have any idea what it could be that doesn’t allow the car to stay on ?

Hey there thanks for watching is your car Chevy Cruz and what engine size. It’s definitely not normal to smell any fumes inside your car that’s actually dangerous make sure you have the windows down to vent out the gas fumes while driving
