2012 Chevrolet Cruze started running hot yesterday, I took my so long to find the correct part 😂. I’m going to see how this turns out in the morning.

[@chancericci1193]

What is the part called?

[@akbarshoed]

Oh man, at 3:08 you having me laughing out loud. So funny. Your attitude!! Great stuff, man.

[@santiagog562]

Whats that 1st hose you touched called? To change it i would have to take off the bumper? Thanks for the response

[@Fixnit14]

The first hose I touch is called the upper radiator hose. You shouldn't have to remove the bumper to get too it.

[@mariomartinez552]

Life saver. Awesome vid.

[@dancurrier6421]

even the GM dealership where I bought my part for my car told me not to put water in coolant reservoir after replacement of it

[@candacemartin2070]

So i did this but and when I cut my car on my coolant went back inside my reservoir what did I do wrong and when I cut off it goes out its weird and it still over heats

[@brandisims1431]

I had this hose blow up on me , I had some one fix it for me but used a different type of hose .. also after this the A/c off high engine temp message is on with check engine light .. what do I do

Help2011 Cruze 1.4 coolant leak from big hose on drive side by the radiator

[@cesarpulido5466]

I just had the same issue... but I wasn’t able to get the part on the same day so i used 3/4 hose to replace it... should i get the right part and replace it?

[@Fixnit14]

I'd replace it with the OEM recommended part, but that's just me. If your fix is working though, go with with it. What did you use to replace the joint?

[@unasahmed3076]

[@rashidshaibu2645]

95039027 is the part number. www.amazon.com/Quality-Radiator-%D0%A1h%D0%B5vr%D0%BEl%D0%B5t-Limited-95039027/dp/B08YWM16HP/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=95039027&qid=1625036779&s=automotive&sr=1-4

[@dancurrier6421]

why are you putting water in the coolant reservoir not GM dex coolant which is red in the first place. Now you got to do it all over again

[@Fixnit14]

Water isnt going to hurt the system. It is recommended that you use distilled water. But the hose water was only temporary, so I could check for leaks.

[@dancurrier6421]

what year is this car

[@Fixnit14]

I dont remember it's been to long.

[@BriaAttiyah]

Looks like 2013 but I could be wrong. I have a Chevy Cruze 2013 and it looks like this inside

I've got the parts listed in the video description with links. Heater hose, thermostat, and thermostat housing. The thermostat housing recently started leaking on this one too so might be a video of that coming soon.
