    2013 1.4 eco manual. The clutch pedal seems fine but it acts like the clutch is not fully disengaging. I checked under the hood and the clutch slave cylinder elbow is loose. It slides back and forth in the tranny about an inch. Is this a problem inside the transmission or with something...

    Hi, I have a BNR tune with nearly 23psi which starts dropping at 4000rpm and ends up at about 15psi. The stock wastegate actuator is on it's way out as it used to only drop to 17psi. My question is: Does the boost drop in high RPM only because of the weak stock actuator or is it because it's a...

    No vacuum leak was detected after filling engine with lots of smoke at 3 psi. Then why the low vacuum reading on the gauge? And why the high Long Term Fuel Trim? Perhaps ECM is advancing timing too much due to faulty data from one of sensor data streams the it uses to control camshaft position...
  5. Gen1 Diesel Technical Discussion
    Can anyone tell me where I can buy a new shutter actuator motor for my 2014 Cruse Diesel? I received the P069E and P059F codes after my daughter had a piece of a blown out tire hit the front end of the car about a week ago. A few days later we found the actuator hanging down below the front...

    Neighbor lost defrost on her '13 Cruze with 89k. The dealer is saying they would cover the repair under a service bulletin, except that the part number in the bulletin does not match the part number for her Cruze. I'm thinking the dealer can't figure out that the part number has been updated...

    2013 Cruze LTZ - I've been having a lot of issues with my climate control system lately, so when I finally got it into the dealership this morning, the mechanic told me that it looked like some of the seal around the blend doors had broken off and was likely causing the issues I was having (no...

    I have a 2012 eco and the defrost doesnt work. When you select the defrost it blows out of the front. The GM service manual says it takes 0.5 hours. Took it to a shop and they said it was going to take over 8 hours. Is there a write up or tutorial on how to get to the mode door actuator?

    Hi Cruzers: The power door lock actuator on my wife's 2015 Cruze actually fell down into the compartment beneath it! I tried to extract it with a needle-nose plyer but I cannot reach it. Off the dealer under warranty. First thing on this car to fail. Anyone else had this problem?

    How-To: Replace CPASV (Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve) Seals Overview: Yes, I needed to make up an acronym for this one. Moving forward, let's just refer to them as CPASV seals. I found these seeping on my 2012 Cruze at 58,000 miles when I noticed a slight oil loss (about 4oz in...

    I hear you guys saying before that the latest flash makes it harder to throw a p0299 code for pivot wear, but what is the new Spec? I checked mine today and it was about .035 of play, seems quit a bit of slop but car running ok...

    2011 Cruze LT with power driver's seat. On the frame, there's a motor at the front that has an actuator at 90 degrees with a worm that goes into a plastic piece to move the front of the seat up and down. On ours, the plastic piece broke. From GM, it's only available as an assembly, so we'll...

    Hello, I have a 2011 Chevy Cruze LT RS. Great shape and condition until now the P0299 cel kept coming up and soon enough figured out it was the turbo. But im not sure what to do. A new turbo in canada is $800 and the wastegate is about $125.00 (from the dealerships). The car has nooooo power...
  16. Gen1 1.4L Turbo
    Poking around the engine compartment of my '12 Eco, I found what appears to be significant corrosion on the wastegate actuator rod where it is exposed to the elements. It's not enough to cause it to fail yet, but it is a concern long term. The rust was advanced enough to be flaky, so I'm...

    This directly from Trifecta: Short version: DON’T DO IT. At this time, Trifecta does NOT ENDORSE NOR RECOMMEND modifying the factory wastegate actuator length. Long version: The wastegate on the 1.4T engine is held closed with spring pressure by a spring that is installed in the wastegate...
