I'm a 70 year old widow. My granddaughter is in college and her 2011 Chevy Cruze kept having this tappen to her car. Your video was so informative, I feel that I could fix her car by myself. Now I'm going to take it to a repair shop. I'll order the sensors and thermostat and advise them to also clean the blectrical plug-ins. I'm wishing I could be younger so I could tix this thing by myself with the help of your video. Thanks so much for sharing.

As an original owner of a 2012 1.4L Cruze I love this content. Keep it coming. 1. There's a white plastic air bleeder on the radiator tank on the passenger side. With the engine off, coolant tank full you can easily bleed the air fairly fast without the fill funnel. If you don't have one. 2. I'm not a huge fan of Dorman parts, but they do make the o-ring for the lower radiator hose to thermostat. Spray Silicone works great on these connections. 3. I'd like to see how bad the replacement of the lower water pump hose is with the bumper cover on. I think you'll get it off, but I'd be interested in seeing how it's done. The upper hose of the drivers side is a real "bear" to remove from the radiator side. 4. Any codes with this before you started, besides what was just on the interior display? I thought the temp sensors would have set codes if failed. There's also a very weird fan control for the cooling fan speed on these cars. If the car can't see all the various fan speeds it goes into limp mode. The radiator fan speed resistor I believe might be part of the fan assembly. Maybe by now you can buy it separately. I think South Main Auto did a video on the radiator fan speed controller and ended up removing the entire fan. I've seen your engine/trans video on this car, so pulling a bumper cover is probably a no big thing for you. But kind of sucks to access the fan. Thanks for the content.

I had this happen a few times where it turned off and threw a code while driving and the temp gauge dropped to Cold and after a bit the needle went to normal temp did this for about a week. Didn't worry about it to much but I started looking around under the hood to change out sensors and found that the wire that ran along the fan to the radiator sensor unhooked from the fan and then I realized that wiring was hitting the catalytic converter that gets hot. So if you have this issue check the wiring and make sure it didn't come out. My issue was solved.

I need some expert advice …I already replaced my head gasket and the larger temp gauge last year…my engine has started over heating again. My radiator hose popped off because my water outlet broke off into my radiator hose and I replaced the entire outlet (which had a new temp gauge on it) I also have checked and there is no more coolant leaks..oil and fluids are good but I have no clue what needs to be fixed so I can drive again…the codes that come up when I scan my car say I’m having issues with my cylinder 3 in my engine…I know I need a new engine at this point but I just need a “bandaid” solution to fix my car until it’s payed off at the end of the year…unfortunately Chevy just notified me that my engine is recalled but my car’s mileage is outside of their coverage, never buy a Chevy cruse!!!
@s33therfan2 жыл бұрын
The cheapest route would most likely be cylinder head replacement or rebuild. Even at that you would be looking at 700 with gaskets , so not really cheap. However considering the 1.4l engines now appear to be made of gold , its the better option as long as the block is okay. Best of luck on whatever you decide and thanks for the feedback.

My 2016 Cruze is doing that right now. It's 30°F outside (heat on, no a/c) and my temp guage keeps going from normal to almost the red zone, then back to normal over & over very quickly. The fan runs, even stays on after I shut the car off. Was low on coolant, so added a mix and it stayed normal for about 20 minutes, then the temp started fluctuating wildly again and right before I pulled into my parents driveway (my stepfather has his own shop) the a/c off due to high engine temp warning came on, but it went away after about 60 seconds....

The temp gauge will go from normal to hot and then drop all the way to cold and heater stops working. any ideas? water pump sensor or head gasket? oil looks fine no murky discoloration. I am trading it off just need to get it there lol
@s33therfan Жыл бұрын
It could be trapped air and sometimes it is difficult to remove without driving it around a bit. Once driven and cooled off remove the overflow cap and any air . Keep the coolant topped. If the heater still is not working and it wants to overheat it may be a headgasket. I would try to remove the air first. If the temp gauge is working and both big coolant hoses are warm or hot the thermostat should be opening up properly. Hope this helps and I appreciate the feedback.

I would suspect the wiring or connectors at this point. Possibly bad aftermarket part also . I know on mine disconnecting the battery would buy a little time with the ac by resetting the computer. It usually would get me a day or so before throwing the code. If the temp sensors are good, thermostat & sensor good, wires & connectors good then there is no reason it should be throwing the code and shutting the ac off. The last thing I would suspect would be the ecm , would be very unlikely though.
