Semper Fi Mechanic KZbin channel is a channel that uploads mostly HOW TO videos, DIY auto repair videos, I am a Mobile Mechanic in Columbus; Ohio and I record some of my jobs and interactions that I run into every day. I post these HOW TO style videos so you can watch them and learn how to fix your own car and save money. I am retired from the United States Marine Corps, where I was awarded a purple heart for wounds received in Iraq. My word is solid, and I show the truth about todays youtube diy video.

@@dlmgtar Thank ya brother

[@dlmgtar]

Wanted to touch back with you, hope you're doing well, I actually got into a Buick Encore directly behind the Cruze I did. Basically same deal, had to drop the turbo from the bottom, basically took out the front cat, the tricky bolt everyone complains. If you can get the 17 passenger side. Bc of the offset I used an 18mm and where it pushes up against the arm in front of the bolt hole for the coolant return, it creates a solid bite. I did it solo but some help with the turbo going back up from the bottom would be help I was lucky I lined up on the manifold studs before my arms gave out.

[@ryanbeshears931]

Hey man I know you ain’t made of money. But the high speed Milwaukee 3/8th ratchet is absolutely life changing my friend

[@semperfimechanic]

I know I keep trying to get someone to send me one hahaha but not working

[@ATSNorthernMI]

There's nothing wrong with it if it lasts and does its job. I actually bought the new hart tools they have at walmart. For someone that's just starting out, these are perfect tools.

[@beckyarkwright1052]

I did this on my 2014 Chevy Cruze last summer.

[@Sackoftaters]

There's a bracket on the catalytic converter underneath the car that you can loosen that will help with separating and connecting the turbo's outlet to the catalytic converter. You'll have to get underneath the car in order to loosen the bracket though

[@zt2207]

Man, thank you. Gonna be doing this in a week here.

[@jw6661]

Another great video to help people out. Good idea about the cap full of oil before putting on the oil feed pipe. I have seen them plugged solid before and cook the turbo especially on poorly maintained engines. I would advise anyone doing this job to replace all the lines anyway but bare minimum replace the oil feed pipe.

[@semperfimechanic]

Thank you boss means the world

Hi Thomas is the GM turbo engine any better found in equinox or terrain?

[@carloscorea439]

Nice job brother I'm willing to bet that plastic piece on that line broke causing that turbo to fail another bad life decision GM made lol moving on up.

[@semperfimechanic]

Your exactly right my friend

[@ScottFree-c6l]

Kia and Hyundai are well known for that issue as well.

[@BV-Auto]

I'm willing to bet that engine has been rebuilt or replaced. Especially having a turbo causing it to fail prematurely

[@LASLAY13]

Semper Fi brother!

[@ScottFree-c6l]

Oh thats an earlier model. Its set up like B.M.W. that linkage goes to a flap valve that fails in that intake.

[@josephbernard5240]

Those plastic turbo oil return lines are complete dookie. I bought a Cruze and I have to do a clutch on it, while I have the engine out of the car, I’m converting the plastic parts to metal and doing some mild overhauling. Thank you for your service!

[@myjeepwjarebuildpaulsteven7986]

I think you’ll get to 100,000 subs✅🇺🇸

[@semperfimechanic]

I hope so but thats a long way away

[@ScottFree-c6l]

Ive always had issues with the oil feed and return lines on them and also the linkage that is connected to the waste gate has a clip that fails. The turbo will be goid but the waste gate thats electronic on these cant work because the linkage is loose as hell. Just my experience.

[@broduscrowell537]

Great job

[@DIZ4SHIZNITS]

Yep im a chevy guy and can’t believe you already have to replace the turdbo😂😂

[@semperfimechanic]

I drive a chevy truck and I can believe it, lol

[@carloscorea439]

Serious question, could I install that coolant line directly to engine then to turbo? SOS

[@durranpotter3248]

Pretty good 👍

[@erikhulman8938]

Is it the same process for chevy Malibu?

Hey brotha, so process is the same for a 16 Chevy trax? also has a 1.4 ecotec

BOYS AND GIRLS ... I digress with such a heavy mention of men and boys yet they're female mechanics out there that love ya too ~!

[@EstebansWrld]

Around how much does this cost to do ? Labor, parts ?

[@user-sj4nx4mt8c]

… Good video Dude… Hey it would be awesome to include the start up on a vehicle after making a repair like this.. I think everyone enjoys and gets some satisfaction with you when the job is done and we get to see the complete repair and results 👍… we worked too hard here w you not to show us the start up lol… I do enjoy these videos regardless.. Being a mechanic is a hard job, especially over the span of a full time career, And Especially if you are a Roadside Technician.. It beats the shit out of you, and dealing with the environment plus the weather sure doesn’t help… It’s never boring and you never know who you’re gonna meet next lol.. definitely more exciting than not!!.. Keep Wrenchn’ 👍🇺🇸

[@tinleo333]

2016 is not even that old. How many miles for the turbo to die?

About 110,000. These Cruzes have alot of turbo issues

[@thagerdorn2009]

Just because you're a mobile mechanic doesn't mean you should "go through tools"...been doing this for 15 plus years, alot of mobile stuff too, and ive never once ruined a tool. I dont use electric tools in inclement weather. As a Cruze owner and enthusiast, i hope this had codes directly corresponding to the turbo, otherwise it was a waste of money. my cruze has 211k and counting and has been one of the most reliable cars ive ever owned. And ive bought and sold over 200 cars. Change the oil with 5-30 dexos and an ac Delco filter every 3k miles and its good. Leaks oil but i dont care.

[@semperfimechanic]

No brother we didnt diagnosis The turbo wasnt broken inside. Metal didnt fall out. None of the hose wasnt broken off from being melted. I just guessed and what kind of Mechanic would say the love the chevy cruze. That car is a piece of shit and is always on top 10 worst cars chevy ever made

[@thagerdorn2009]

@@semperfimechanic so why did you replace the turbo then? They don't just fail with no codes. And believe whatever you want, the reason cars get bad reps is because people don't know how to properly take care of shit. You never follow the oil life monitor or what the manufacturer says. I've put over 11k miles on my Cruze since November and it's given me ZERO issues... because I've taken care of it. I've replaced the typical failure items before they fail so I don't have to worry about it. I've owned pretty much every brand besides exotic cars and it's just as reliable as any Honda and Toyota and Nissan I've owned. People say it's junk because they don't maintain it properly...that's the reason most good cars get bad reps... something like Subaru though, they blow head gaskets even if maintained properly.
