Cheers for this mate. I was looking for a dipstick for a while before I realized it might not exist. These cars are notorious for being lemons, especially the pre 2013 autos. As soon as you fired up yours I cracked up because of the same little ticking sound from the top end.

Thank you showing you take the hose off I don't have th same type of cruze but I'm new to working on my own car since being broke is what drove me to start doing so but I've been a bit nervous about little details I wasn't sure how easy it would be to take that piece off but now I'm all set to change the transmission fluid myself tomorrow thanks man 💯💯

Thanks mate. I am not flash with cars. My 17 year old son has bought a 2012 Cruz only 4 days ago. (not happy him buying a model and make that no longer exist - but the model name must have got him). We went over some basics, but could not find the dip stick for the auto transmission. So, just to get this right: this car doesn't have one? We will need to unscrew a cap, then guess how much fluid needs to be poured in? Then to check if there is enough fluid, we have to undo a bolt/nut and bleed some fluid? Is that correct, please?
@tt-kn6wn Жыл бұрын
PS How can you check if the fluid is dirty or not, please - same procedure? Further, did you need to take off the tyre to undo the side bolt for bleeding?Thanks once more.

@tyleroutingdyke8498 ай бұрын
It's a "spill n fill" style procedure, essentially buy a 5l jug, pull the drain plug (11mm after a short drive to get to operating temps) and fill cap, if there's no trans fluid (dexos-6) running out, top it off until a dribble starts to run down the case of the transmission, than put the transmission plug back in, screw on the fill cap and go for a test drive

Hello kills watt garage, i have s 2012 Chevy Sonic ltz 1.8. so once i add the 4 quarts of transmission fluid back into the system. I drive around shift thru the gears right? What about checking the fluid? I have a big 3 ton steel jack i bought from harbor freight. Do i jack the car up to check the fluid. I've tried this process before and I'm scared because i want to do it right. The first time i added too much fluid?
@killawattgarage2 ай бұрын
Car has to flat and level for the fluid check. Take it for a good drive as transmission fluid needs to be hot about 85C or 185F

Noice vid mate. My Holden Cruze transmission has changed at 30000 ks. Under warranty. Just got over 200000 and I notice it's slipping a little and bit slow changing gear. I don't know if I should do a transfusion of all the fluid or get it serviced. Was a cab driver for 20 years and mechanic would always said It like opening Pandora's box. Changing fluid ever fix it or be the end of the trannie. In the cabs these just leave it till the gearbox died. What's your thoughts. I thinking maybe checking the level and eating a bottle of Lucas trannie conditioner.

I can't believe they vented a transmission from a transmission filler cap to the coolant reservoir. I thought it was going inside the coolant reservoir at first glance! Now after looking more carefully, I see that it is just hanging on it and not going inside. My 2011 Cruze 1.8 does not have a vented transmission fill cap like yours.
@Kroxeno Жыл бұрын
I was just checking the transmission level on a friend's 2011 cruze and noticed this in the video as well. I followed the other tubes and thought "this is the reservoir for radiator coolant.. why would a hose be connected from here to the transmission fill cap?". thankfully there wasnt a breather hose on the friend's cruze either, so nothing to scratch my head over after watching this video.

@GadGetHackss Жыл бұрын
That's not the right procedure. You must drive the car in second gear for about 15 mins to get the transmission fluid up to 185F and you check it with an OBD2 Scanner. With the car level and running in park, bolt fully removed, If the fluid is flowing steadily, wait for it until it begins to drip and that means the level is right ✅️
