The reason why these engines go out quickly is because people don't change their oil when they need too. Maintenance is VERY important on ANY turbocharged engine, because the turbo needs good quality oil to last a long time. If a turbo spins up with dirty oil, it wears out the bearing that spins the blade, and it overheats the turbo causing it to crack. My advice is to change the oil at 4-5k miles. It's not just the Cruze that has problems, it's other vehicles that have a turbo. Some people are too lazy or not knowledgeable to change the oil. But at least with the Cruze, a brand-new replacement turbocharger costs $250. Most other cars costs $500+ just for the turbo. It's really simple to replace the turbo by yourself on a Cruze.
Great video guys. As stated in previous videos, the crack in the turbo is a very common failure. The turbos aren't very reliable. I have a sonic with 160,000 miles with manual. Seems to be good still.
i;am your newest subscriber great videos i won a 2011 chevy 6 speed manual cruze 2750.00 runs and drives rustfree florida car 3 owners i did car fax most of the maintance was done at the chevy dealership, i got a great deal
I got a 2014 Chevy cruze 1.4 turbo and the motor was blown so I got a used one that came out of a buick encore & on the balancer and water pump has it has 5 splines on the pulleys but on the cruze it has 4 splines would it still be fine? I have no choice but to use a 4 spline drive belt for now unless otherwise if that makes sense I’m hesitant on putting the Cruze balancer on the buick motor because it’s a 40,000 mile motor
One can only wonder why GM designed this engine to be removed so easily.
Worst vehicle ever, and I own two of them 🤦♂️
I’d still take this over any Chrysler product.

Most disappointing engine I have owned to date. constant oil leaks and mis-fires.
I have a 2015 Trax with 171,564 miles on it with no major repairs. Still running strong.
Even though the wire harness has been removed its still on a trash can!
Haha we have had our head gasket replaced, and a lot of engine parts. These cars are junk! Don’t get me started on the water pump
Gm Junk 😂👍
My 2011 Cruze Eco 6 speed manual transmission has 189,000 miles....still going strong 34.5 mpg all day long on Michelin CC2
Good to see this done without a hoist! Now I won't be sacred to try one if I ever purchase a project like this!
like your confidence...makes the videos much fun...wish can give you more than one like 👍

Nice. Love how easy the cruze is to work on.
I got 100k from my 2015. Not a bad car handles well. But had to replace water outlet valve and heater hose.
I drive 2012 with 290K kilometre do regular maintenance
That crack is very normal on 1.4l turbos!!! I’m not saying it’s good just normal 👍🇺🇸
