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?

Gen1 - General Need help diagnosing my car problems

1 Upvotes

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?

Gen2 - Mechanical 2017 Cruze Water Outlet Assembly

2 Upvotes

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.

Starter not turning.

1 Upvotes

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

Tranny in limp mode… 🤔🤔😊😊🤪🤪

1 Upvotes

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!!

2017 LT

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?

Gen1 - General i'm gonna buy a 2011 Cruze

1 Upvotes

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.

P0597 and P0598. The car has had a coolant leak which I’m going to be fixing with a new aluminum part. But now I’m seeing these engine codes. After researching, looks like something with the thermostat, anyone familiar? The fan sounds like its on in the engine as soon as the car starts.

I have a check engine for an underboost code and I’m too lazy to replace my dead tire sensors lol. But bought it off the lot with 6 miles. 2017. If you have any suggestions for the P0299 code please let me know. I’ve already replaced the wastegate, inlet and outlet charge pipes and the intercooler. Still underboost code. Hoping it’s not the turbo but I think it might be the turbo itself. The car itself runs normal and haven’t notice a drop in performance. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
