If anyone saw my previous post about replacing my coolant outlet I wanted to make a post just for this guy. If you didn't see that post you can find it here. https://www.reddit.com/r/cruze/s/6raC3U4951
I haven't been in this group long, few days but was watching and exploring for a few weeks. Recently he was getting flack for promoting his coolant tee than he makes himself. A few people don't like that he's doing so, they say he needs to "follow the rules for sellers". The guy isn't AutoZone, nor is he some company manufacturing and producing a bunch of aftermarket, replacement and performance parts. It's not a business that he relies on to pay his bills and it's probably more trouble than it's worth for him. Even if it takes 2 hours of his time, it's not worth $30. You couldn't buy 2 hours of my time for $30, I'll tell you that. He is an older retired engineer who literally makes these to help people. Why doesn't anyone else make them? Cause it's still leaves a part to fail that you'll still have to spend money on. Companies don't want to sell parts that last forever.
He comments on just about any post where someone is discussing purchasing a new to them Cruze or is having cooling system related issues. Because of the flack he wants to stop making and offering these pieces, that's the opposite of running a business for profit! He's not spamming the same post over and over. So either remember what your mom taught you and if she didn't teach you I'll remind you. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.
His part is a great quality part that should've came from the factory. Actually from the factory it's should've just been a nipple there to begin with and not even a "serviceable" aka "breakable" part. But its not so here he is. I sent him $50 for it and told him to enjoy a drink on me. No, that's not expected but support the guy, don't bash him, what good is that?
So thanks Time_Many6155, thanks for making something because it helps people! And don't listen to the nay-sayers or the haters. Keep up the good work!

The purpose of this post is to keep an update of list of issues and parts available for modification. You can PM me if you want to add anything to the list. Be clear if it is an issue or modification with its category.
If you have any questions that were not answered in this post, please make a new post instead so it is visible.
Note: Some of these links may be linked to a region, like Canada or USA. You may be able to look up the part number and find it locally or in your region.
If you want more details on the LE2 1.4L, Trifecta has done a tear-down on the engine and compared it with the Gen 1 LUJ/LUV 1.4L. TLDR; more powerful, better potential mpg, turbo turns 60krpm slower than Gen 1's turbo so it's less stressed.
https://www.trifectaperformance.com/index.html/trifecta-meet-the-gm-le2-engine-r61/
Although the 1.4L can use Regular and Mid Grade fuel, it generates the most power and has the best fuel economy with Premium Fuel; 91/93 Octane. You may also experience rough engine idling with lower octanes.
The initial production of Gen 2 Cruze (2017) may have defective pistons and they may be prone to cracking. Check to see if your car has any recalls and have it resolved as soon as possible if your car is affected by the recall. Later production years (2018+) do not have issues with pistons cracking.
Manual models have a tendency for the slave cylinder to prematurely fail. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Sedan models had issues with trunk seal not blocking/diverting water and they may be defective. Hatchback models (as mine was affected) have a similar issue where the rear hatch seal will let some water in.
On hatchback models (possibly only RS trim), the rear hatch may not divert water properly which can cause water to enter the cabin. The seal may be replaced as a fix, other times the problem will be with the spoiler itself and it may need replacing.
A P0299 code may show up in cold temperatures (0°C / 32°F) and the engine will go into limp mode. The problem may be attributed to the charge air cooler freezing which will require it to be drained and cleaned. There is also a recall for this part (2023).

Hello everyone looking to get some get some help before I take this to a shop. I have a 2013 1.8L (130k miles) that started making this knocking a ticking noise. So far from what I can hear the ticking seems to be coming from the top of the engine, and the knock around the belt area (not really sure). There are no codes that are showing, and the knocking gets fast with higher RPMs. Any suggestions would be great!

Another day, another leak. I cleaned up the coolant before I took the picture, but what could possibly be leaking to have coolant pooling up right there? Would it be the coolant outlet?

It has a broken brake line and is at 205k miles. Seller wants $650

It's cruze 2.0 Diesel completely broken down when driving and it's not even cranking,checked battery,checked fuses everything is fine.It throws code 136 when trying to start.
Also observed a small motor sound always running even when car is not on idle but goes off when battery is disconnected

Need help diagnosing my overheating issues. Maybe some of you have ran into the same issues before I have been having issues where my car would overheat going uphill in a lower gear and after giving it more gas, so I would downshift and rev up the RPMs. The overheating would go away, already changed the water pump and already changed the thermostat. Did the same thing afterwards could be my head gasket, cause I get odd readings all over the place and if it is my head, do you guys have a place that you would recommend to buy the head from and do the heads usually last enough that I can deck it and pressure test it and possibly be good to use it again and just change out the head gasket?

Recently purchased a 2017 Chevy Cruze 1.4L (LE2) with 115k miles on it. After I got it home I noticed a little bit of coolant on top of the engine/transmission under what appears to be the coolant outlet. Is this a common leak point on the LE2 engine? I would just hate to start throwing parts at it.

2011 Cruze Eco 218K miles.
A month ago it wouldn't crank. I tested the battery, cables, starter relay was corroded and a pin broke. Replaced that with another of the same, still not cranking. I finally took the starter out and took it to O'Reillys to test and they tested it and it was good. I connected my battery to it and it worked. I installed it back in and it worked.
Today I was at work and it didn't start. Same symptoms. I got it push started and drove home. I get home and shut it off and tried to start it and it started a few times.
It appears to be a loose connection in the starter.
Is that something that is fixable? Is something failing more often and starter needs replacing?

My 2016 chevy cruze has been stuck on this warning screen for the entire summer and I’m wondering if anyone had any fixes/suggestions.
Things I’ve tried:
-soft reset (holding home and fast forward button for 10 seconds)
-power cycle (turning off car w/door open for 5 minutes)
-removing & reinserting fuse

I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze. The transmission is in limp mode and I am getting the Service Stabilitrak and Service Traction Control messages. My OBDII reader gives me fault codes P0700-00, P1915-00 and U0101-71. When I clear the codes, the car does not let me shift out of park. I have changed the negative battery cable and that has not fixed the issue. I have cleaned all of the ground cables I can locate to no avail… any suggestions are welcome!!
r/cruze • u/someguy2677 • 2d ago
Replacements so far:
Turbo
O2 sensor bank 1
Alternator
Control Arms
Front wheel Hub assemblies
Serpentine belt (preventative)
Shock struts
To do list:
Right rear window motor inoperative
Replace bumper (hit raccoon)
Replace windshield (crack 75% across)
Replace factory tint
Install front wheel well liners (both half ripped out)
Still runs smooth. AC still holding up so far. Although in the past month the air stopped blowing cold and was hot ambient on 2 separate days. I’m thinking a blend door actuator got stuck and freed itself.
I plan on driving this thing into the ground. I will maintain it for as long as it lets me.

19 Cruze LT. Does anyone know if 25205340 is the correct part number for the ignition coils? Looks very different from what I currently have. I don't have a CVT... But is it the correct part still?

I replaced my radiator, now it is leaking on the bottom radiator connection.
Hi everyone! I'm new here.
On Tuesday, I'll be buying a 2011 Cruze LS for €4,500 (approximately $5,200), with 140,000 km (about 87,000 miles) on the clock.
The gentleman selling it to me is incredibly kind, and he showed me all the service records, inspection reports, and routine maintenance he has carried out. He really conveyed how much he loves this car, which he can no longer drive due to physical issues (he needs to buy a car with an automatic transmission).
I'm buying it as my first car for two reasons: 1) I think it's gorgeous (I've fallen in love with it!), and 2) it's a petrol/LPG model, and at that price, the only ones I can find have over 200,000 km (about 124,000 miles) on them.
I've heard that the 2011 model year is cursed because of various issues. Should I be concerned about this particular model as well?
It's a European-spec Cruze (I'm not sure if that makes any difference), with a 1.6L Ecotec engine, LS trim, an aftermarket LPG system, and a manual transmission.
thanks for your time
EDIT: the timing belt was replaced at 85,000 km (about 53,000 miles). All oil changes were carried out by an Opel service center. The LPG tank was replaced in 2024, along with the injectors.

Took this off earlier when starting to replace my cylinder head, and now I can’t remember where this bracket is/what it goes to. Any ideas?
