  2. Gen1 Audio, Electronics & Electrical
    I have bench tested installing a heated wheel in my Gen1 Diesel Cruze, 2014. I HAVE NOT as of this writing actually installed anything in my car. I am convinced that this is workable. Maybe not worth it cost wise to some, but I am keeping my Cruze forever, so depreciation doesn't matter, and so...
  3. Gen1 1.8L
    On my 2012 Chevy Cruze LS, One of my Exhaust Manifold Heat shield bolts has rattled out. The flanges on the bottom have rusted and snapped off (Not sure who at GM though two little dinky flanges were a good idea) so my heat shield is being held by only one bolt. Can any one tell me the bolt...

    My 2015 Cruze gets really hot by my right leg/gas pedal while driving. The wall, only on the driver side gets hot, but not every time? It sometimes gets so hot, in the summer when I get out of my car with sandals on, the heat can get pretty intense from under my car. Any ideas what it could...
  5. Gen1 1.4L Turbo
    can you take off the turbo heat shield on these cruzes and leave them off? I would like to remove the heat shield forever if someone has done it before on these cruzes because it makes it a ot easier to look under the valve cover for leaks if there is one

    2012 Chevy Cruze LT 145,000 miles. Located near Chicago, IL I have an awful oil smell in the cabin when it is 'cold' outside (32 degrees) and I have my heat on. I went to a shop and stated that the car smells like oil when the heat is on and when it is cold. They replaced the valve cover...

    My wife is complaining about some issues with her 2014 chevy cruze. it has around 70,000 miles on it. She says that when idling the fan is very loud and in the mornings its taking much longer than normal to heat up than it used to. Frost this morning - sat in driveway for 10 minutes running and...
  8. Gen1 Service Issues
    Hey guys, I was hoping I could get some help with this issue I have been having as far as what the cost or fix would be. Anytime I turn the heat on, no matter what vent I use or how strong the heat is, I get a massively disgusting burning oil smell in my car. However, when I turn off the heat...

    So awhile back, my check engine light came on. I checked the codes and there was three that related to my thermostat. I talked to the auto store guys and they said its pretty common to replace them because they are originally made of plastic and tend to crack. I did some research on my own and...

I checked the coolant level and it was pretty low in the reservoir so I filled it up drove about 40 miles parked it for a few hours and started home. After about...

  12. Gen1 Service Issues
    I got the car back last Thursday from the dealer (Not Chevy) and I didn't even make it home before it went to over heat condition. Finally got it home, I redid the coolant fill procedure, and seems fine. Drive it back to dealer, and then around the block and it has over heat condition. Dealer...
  13. Gen1 Service Issues
    I was in an accident last year and had the front end of the car replaced, up to the engine, so fans, rad, lights, grill, etc. After having it fixed, it would sound like a plane was taking off the front fan was so loud. The dealership had replaced it with a factory fan when I complained and the...
  14. Gen1 1.4L Turbo
    So I live in South Mississippi, and let me tell you, this is not a turbo friendly area during the summer time. The date is May 21st and we just got done with a 93F hot and sunny day. This is only the beginning of the summer, and we will be seeing temperatures well over 100F throughout the...
  15. Gen1 1.4L Turbo
    Since summer is coming up, What would your suggestion be, to reduce this effect of heat soak on my Cruze (in my case, 2011 Eco 6spd auto)? I live in South Florida, where the summers are scorching hot, and the winters never really get below 50F. Anywhere above 100F, and acceleration is worse than...

  17. 👋 CruzeTalk New Member Introductions
    Hello everyone! I've been looking around the site and having trouble finding a solution. About 2 weeks ago my car started only blowing heat on the passenger side and freezing cold on the driver's side. Took it into a shop and they have no idea, said only way to figure out is to take entire dash...
  18. Gen1 Diesel Technical Discussion
    Sounds like we have a heat shield rattle (typical thin metal ringing noise) going on somewhere in the front half of the vehicle - can't tell if its on/near the engine, or the exhaust system. I'm going to get the car on a lift to do the trans fluid here soon (hopefully), so I'm going to have a...

    Hi All, I am having a very strange issue with my heating in my 2012 Holden/Chevy Cruze Hatchback (1.6L engine RHD). The passenger side of the car is getting no/some heat. The first time I noticed, the heat dial was always in the red. The driver’s side is blowing almost uncomfortably hot air...
