[@dancurrier6421]

how come no antifreeze coming out of the hose you pulled of and when you take of the housing there should be antifreeze coming out of there too please explain

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

@@dancurrier6421 without going back to view the video. My first guess is probably because I drained the coolant?

[@dancurrier6421]

hello I like watching your videos I just started to watch them. Trying to figure out my problem on my 2015 Chevy Cruze 1.4 tubro Eco LT takes for ever to heat up in cold weather

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

@@dancurrier6421 thanks man appreciate you checking the channel out. If it takes long to warm up you could have a faulty thermostat that is partially stuck open or opening too soon. Or if the coolant level is too low sometimes that will cause you to have intermittent heat because the heater core will only be partially full of coolant

[@hawkdsl]

He is correct... you will be replacing these items. The water pump, the thermo, and the outlet housing on the drivers side. The coolant reservoir (they crack). Heater hoses, and all the water hoses for that matter, are actually pretty good quality, so that part is rare. I would recommend using your favorite auto parts store brand for replacements. If you have a floor jack and a good set of inverse torx, it is easy as pie to do all these jobs.

[@ThomasHenryHoran]

Nice video! I highly recommend the aluminum replacement over the plastic. For anyone watching, my advice is, you might as well go ahead and replace the serpentine belt while you're at it. Why? Well, if your thermostat has failed, your serpentine belt is getting old, too. Also, getting the motor mount and belt out of the way makes it a lot easier to get to all the hoses and bolts of the thermostat assembly. Serpentine belt is less than $20.00. Also, if you are replacing the serpentine belt, definitely go ahead and replace the thermostat while you're at it. Way easier and faster to do both at once instead of one at a time, and again, they age at about the same rate, anyway.

[@ricklange1567]

It might be worth mentioning at the beginning that different Chevy Cruze engines will have different placement and configurations of the thermostat and housing, My wife's 2012 Cruze has it on the right side of the engine next to the battery!

[@andyquick5839]

More than once I have had to put the car up on ramps in order to get all of the air out of the system. Sometimes you need to make sure that your coolant reservoir tank or radiator cap are the highest point in the system in order for all of the air to bleed up to the top. Sometimes just running the engine at a high rpm doesn’t work. Just a tip for those who may do this procedure and still not get any heat out of the heating ducts.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Yeah totally agree with you on that! These are pretty good about burping out really fast

[@joegonz3864]

Thanks for the video. The purge at the end of the video really helped me out and it’s way easier than do the bleed screw. Thanks👍🏼

[@christalbeckley4275]

You never lied. Always replacing something with the coolant department. Hoses thermostat heater hose etc

[@d-247infantry9]

For real.. I replaced every part thinking its the upper pump, lower, inlet hose ect like wtf and now a therm all in 2 weeks😵

[@ballhawk387]

Indeed! In my case, this simple fix corrected the dreaded P0299 and P00B6 codes as well as the P0128 code that clued me into this relatively quick, inexpensive, and easy (but for that atrocious brittle plastic hose breaking) fix. Could save somebody from being buffaloed into an unnecessary turbocharger repair that costs a king's ransom.

[@donaldduck6414]

Straight to the point, I love it. Too many of the same videos are 12 to 25 minutes long and explain the same thing. I appreciate the video immensely. AWESOME!

[@chrismechanic6164]

My understanding after much research is that the sensor in the housing isn't a sensor at all but a heating element that is controlled by the computer. Any time the engine is under heavy load the computer turns element on to aid in opening the thermostat earlier to allow for more cooling. The continuous operation of the element if the car sees hard driving contributes to both early failure of the thermostat itself and or leaking of seal or cracking of plastic housing. Additionally if the unit fails or burns out the temp Guage will show cold constantly while the fans may run continuously on high with dash warning tells you engine is hot (even when not) and AC is shut down. Driving with a system leak without immediate repair and continuously adding coolant can also lead to early failure of the element requiring thermostat and housing replacement since it comes as a unit only.

[@GNOBNX]

Dude, you’re a no nonsense guy. I love it! Thx 🙏🏽 …

[@kobusvanniekerk2635]

Great video. Two things I would do different. One, I would not splash the motor with water just after the job because if there are any leaks, after the job, you won't know it is leaking because everything is wet. Leave the cleaning for much later once you are happy there are no leaks. Two, first loosen all three bolts and then it would be easier to remove that clamp with some pliers.

[@Zeek800]

Another leak point on these engines is the coolant reservoir itself. Where the larger of the two hoses connects, the GM reservoirs are notorious for the plastic “ pipe “ that the hose connects to cracking. Is this case a Dorman reservoir has a metal sleeve over that plastic “;stem pipe “ that should strengthen it.

[@0gaven]

Great Video thank you! Was very helpful I did like how the car went from Chevy to Buick at the end . 😂

Put in a brand new thermostat and housing and my check engine light is still on and cooling system fan is running constantly. Even though bad thermostat came up on the scan, brand new thermostat didn't fix the problem??? How does this make sense? *Edit* Just had to unplug the battery to reset the computer and light went off

[@lukedunlap4760]

Nice video!! GM SHOULD be forced to recall & upgrade the 1.4L Turbo PCV check valve system...and the crappy plastic coolant elbow on the Dr side of Engine block! WHY does GM always cheap-out on the little things, and in this case, wreck what is fundamentally a decent engine!??!

[@angelineurysty4385]

Thank you! My thermostat gasket was leaking like a sieve on my 2014 Buick Encore after a short road trip - had a big tear in it (how that happened, we don’t know). Found this video very helpful, and with a good deal of help from my boyfriend (he had the tools and the strength to loosen bolts and clamps) I got a new thermostat and gasket put on, and it’s all working perfectly now. There were a few differences between the cars (most notably a bloody steel line that was still in the way of one of the bolts), but we got it figured out. Wouldn’t have had the courage to try, but your video made it look at least doable. Saved me a chunk of money by not having to take it to the shop. I appreciate the time you took to do the video.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thank you for sharing your experience and glad to hear the video was helpful!

[@azarellediaz4892]

The reason that gasket was ruined in a short period of time is due to pressurized water and steam being pushed trough the leak, it acts like a knife that can slice rubber very easily. I’m glad you got it done.

[@CookyCutter]

Mine is leaking where the housing meets the water pump, is there a new gasket in the set?

Yes it comes with the gasket. Or you could just replace only the gasket more than likely. But for how cheap the entire part is might as well replace it

[@user_uif_ghg_wer_das]

There are so many design flaws, first of all, inside the thermostat you can see the spring is hold with pre-tension by thin plastic housing bit 4:00, this plastic bit will always break whenever you tear down the thermostat; second, the gasket always fails at some mileage and causing coolant leakage.

[@GusMahn]

Well done vid. Might as well change the surge tank and the hose to the outlet as well as the outlet at the same time. All kinds of cooling problems on this engine, but the outlet is the most common failure.

[@customercervice3322]

Doesn’t petroleum degrade rubber gaskets over time? Seems like your dielectric grease would be a better choice for gaskets and such rather than oil or grease. Also the torque on those bolts is just a touch under 6 lb ft but I set it for 6 and no leaks. Thanks for the video.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

I don't believe they're rubber. And cool thanks for adding the info

[@primeideasconsulting]

Correct, petrolatum degrades rubber. But he's prob right that those gaskets are nitrile and not rubber. Better just to be in the habit of using silicone grease anyway on packings.

What hoses come of the thermostat

[@ballhawk387]

Exceptionally well done, the best, most concise description of this job from start to finish I've seen here. In my case, the corrugated hose and its squeeze clip *both* broke, and I found the thermostat to have *no* gasket. It also kicked out 2 other codes, including the dreaded P0299. I patched the corrugated hose with rubber hose sections and self-sealing tape, the parts place not having a replacement for that brittle, engineering atrocity of a plastic hose. All codes were gone, much appreciation for this concise fix for an issue anyone with these vehicles will *inevitably* reckon with.

[@zzoinks]

Does this car have an electronically controlled thermostat? It's kinda hard to find info about it online but I came across one forum post saying it's electronically controlled with a grid controlled electronic wax pellet type. It is a post on Cruze Talk called Electronic control of thermostat temperature 1.4T and I would post a link except KZbin nukes all comments with links.

But no product listings mention electronic control, which is surely a feature they'd mention if it was present right?

Hey man, great video! I have a question if you can answer... about a month back i made the mistake of mixing regular coolant and dexcool coolant in my chevy cruze. Then fast forward to this month, I started smelling burning coolant, then one day i got the engine overheated warning, i immediately stopped the car, and found the coolant completely gone... filled coolant up, and took it directly to the mechanic. He basically said the thermostat is stuck and needs to be replaced... along with a coolant flush. Does this sound like the right diagnosis? Someone else said the water pump could be leaking.
