This is a great video except for one important detail. At around the 15:30 minute mark, you said to remove the black plastic piece if you have a turbocharger. That piece is actually an anti-drain back valve for the oil supply to the turbo and should not be removed. If you just push down on it, it will go into the housing so you can install the line. I ended up breaking mine when I followed your instructions and had to get another oil cooler. I called Dorman Products tech support and they told me what it was for.

Nice informative video. Note to others: The gaskets on my oil cooler (oil filter housing) are leaking. I am just replacing the gaskets, not the entire assembly. Also, when you have your Turbo off, inspect it very closely for cracks. My 2015 Chevy Cruze LTZ 1.4 T has a crack in the waste gate area, not visible from the outside. Don't do the job and put a bad turbo back on or you will be doing the job again.

My Original Oil cooler had the black plastic tab on the 1.4L Turbo , Why did you pull it off ?

[@liamcul8tr335]

Awesome video! Start to finish! Very much appreciated because I just purchased a 2014 Cruze and realized after that it had the oil leak from the oil cooler. While watching your video I was able to remove the cooler, replace the seals and oil rings, and reassemble it. I had priced it at a local repair shop for over 800 bucks. And although it took me a little longer than your video, I did the repair for around 125 counting the oil change. I didn’t replace the turbo seals and only replaced the seals in the oil cooler though. I couldn’t of done it without your video. Thank you!!

Great video, but these cars are junk… I’ve done more work to my GF’s car then out of 8 I’ve owned.

[@javierramos9795]

This video is awesome since I have change both the turbo and the oil filter housing, you should probably rename it as a "twofer" one. 🙂 I also wanted to add that this is the second video I watched that someone says that this car does not have a radiator drain plug and that is incorrect. It is located on the passenger side bottom outer portion of the radiator.

[@Jmix]

@25:24 is the absolute hardest thing to do in this project. It is incredibly difficult to reach area and secure with a new return line and no lift. Just an fyi

[@ShotByZy]

So my oil cooler gasket kit came with 2 green bonded gaskets and 2 black bonded gaskets, can you maybe help and tell me which one goes on the turbo oil feed and when goes on the coolant hose that connects from the turbo to the block?

[@commercialsify]

Is it necessary or just good practice to replace the whole housing and not just all the gaskets? Did the one being replaced have a cracked housing? Also could you post all the part numbers for the seals and gaskets you also replaced?

[@brianwatson1988]

I’m curious why you pulled the plastic piece out ? Also when I did mine I split the turbo from the manifold so I didn’t have to replace a bunch of gaskets that were still good not sure why you pulled both together instead of splitting them?

[@ryansnaidauf9313]

DO NOT. Remove the black piece when he says "remove this because we have a turbo. It's part of this system. The vehicle he just fixed is going to fail

[@turgutersoy]

Thank you for sharing and helping us. Greetings from Türkiye.

[@daverellik]

Hey awesome video doing it now, is there a kit for all the gaskets and seals or do I need those separately?? Thanks and I appreciate this vid!

[@arrepuess]

Thank you, helped me not have to pay for the service

[@johnchopper4270]

How long did this repair actually take, just wondering?

[@CruzenNBoosten]

I love my chevy cruze. I do all the work on it myself

[@armi5382]

I quoted somebody 2.5 hours for this, i’m fried

[@psiberoptik1816]

on my Encore my exhaust Bolts are 13mm not 12, also on my Encore that "just use a 17mm socket under here" to remove the coolant "banjo" that's a Big NOPE! there is a bracket in the way, so if your watching this for the Buick Encore with this same engine be aware the ARE some differences, Also I have NOT "worn" clamps in places this one has "worms", I also HIGHLY recommend replacing the Turbo Oil Drain Line/Tube with an all metal one, the plastic factory one cracks/leaks/fails easily as it turns brittle with age, $35 (example 667-520) well spent on mine, +++ Video!

+@psiberoptik1816 Thanks for the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@jessrn37]

I have a question, is that the reason my car leaks oil while running? I have nothing from above that I can see online when the car is started Sonic Lt Non-turbo

[@msw812]

Extremely helpful! Thanks!

[@southwestvajeeper5106]

Great video. Small correction: the vehicle does have a drain in the radiator. You have to remove the splash shield along the front bumper and there is a drain valve on the right side of the radiator. 🙂

[@TRQ]

+SouthwestVirginiaJeeper Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team. 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@thezagestzig5221]

Does this guide work for a Chevy trax 2017? I can’t seem to find any guides on this,

[@dlasher1811]

At time mark 20:15 you are using hose clamp pliers. The link in the description is not the ones you are using. What type are they called for those difficult hose clamps and who makes them?

[@robbieharris9339]

WOW there's more to it than I thought Lol

[@turgutersoy]

How should we know about correct torque values? Is there a user manuels or like this (whatever it called) we can buy?

[@MrMaddparkison]

It does have a radiator drain. Its on the passenger side under the plastic behind the bumper.

[@cthornsburg5]

Is the 2018 buick encore with the same engine the same even tho the cooler doesn't run under the exhaust manifold

[@RomoRooster]

Ahh the infamous 1.4l leakotec

[@219870]

Thanks for video I’m. Mobile mechanic and this video made job easy if there was a way to tip on KZbin I would

[@DesignerDecks--CaryPalermo]

Great video. 😊

[@Ksee89]

On the right side of the exhaust manifold, where the coolant line runs to the oil cooler... My bolt hole didn't line up with the hose line. Idk why they wont line up when everything else does. What can I do to zip that down?

[@MrHernanliom]

Minute 26:35 what kind of coolant hose is that one ? 😅

[@erikzaleta1716]

The first removed pipe, which size of seal (o ring) does it have? Mine is leaking from there :(

[@Jesus-s7q]

How long did it take u? Alldata says 2 hours

[@timandsarapool2689]

I am confused that you said this doesn't have a coolant drain. I am pretty sure my cruze does.

[@joshcantrell8397]

Is this the same for a Chevy trax?

[@Endthenonsense]

Good video but don’t be mislead into thinking its easy he makes it to be….It’s not. He actually skipped a header bolt behind the canister…. You have to take the turbo canister off to get to it.

[@33ad1]

Great Video , but can you put in the title the engine size. Thanks

[@Dowan_Gim]

Thanks for the information.

[@Dorightby]

Do you really have to take out the black tab for turbo cars I just took my stock oil housing off and it was in their from factory

[@matthewbryant4486]

No it slides out to seal and in to accommodate for the turbo oil feed line

[@BigOleCaddy]

Anyone know the part number for the coolant pipe connected to the cooler that he pulls off once he has the cooler off the car?? Can’t seem to find it.

[@RowanHawkins]

Is it really necessary to remove the manifold/turbo assm? Can you reach all the bolts from below? Also people should be careful with that plastic pipe on the bottom of the turbo. its the oil return line from the turbo to the engine. It is easy to break and an absolute pain to get out if you do break it..the other end is slotted into the engine. On the converter I drove the captive bolts out because I broke 2 removing it. Did make it super easy to install again.

[@jamesgold9646]

Is it OK to pull out the black tab

[@kusayfarhan9943]

From other comments it seems like you shouldn't take it out. It comes with one from the factory.

[@LastRehabDehradun]

Awesome

[@Wjk1457]

Damn good video

[@gokmentasdemir6804]

Great

[@bestofthebest3821]

no way that is an oil cooler,, rather an oil heater, being next to turbo and exhaust manifold... in hot climate cities is useless that oil heater.... its only good if you live in north pole or alaska

[@CerebralAilment]

This video made me realize how much of a POS design these cars are 😅

[@danielsaiz9644]

But of course.

[@danielsaiz9644]

My techs called them gm junk!

[@jameslee9032]

yes I have work on it .the car are junk

[@stephenhall4225]

Too hard 😢 damn

[@travisrichmond2467]

I have the part but f#ck that. I'll take it to the junk yard instead. Won't be buying a chevy again.

[@gauti29]

Great work ,
