When you say fastener, do you mean the metal clip that has the 2 pieces of plastic on it? or something that is part of the pipe itself?
Anyone have pictures?

Well the Cruze had been a good car owned it 4 years now very little issues and yesterday with very little warning the rod decided to come out of the block. 😳 will be looking for a new motor to replace this one.

@Diesel4Ever - Is this the clip you are talking about?
I think the part# is 13434668
We discussed that in this thread 2014 2.0 diesel too much boost?
I don't know if anyone here has bought just the clip to test it on the diesel, but I'm curious what part on your char broke (the clip or the TB).

I don’t know exactly I didn’t repair it myself
That’s what I did when I replaced the cooler. Worry free. The oem ones disintegrated when I took them off. Reuse the fittings, fuel line and rvt…done
pickup seal is a bitch, but a must do. Don’t put it off
If you guys are asking about the cooler clips, it is this.
The clip shown on the other thread is the throttle body. Unless I mistook who was asking what. Wouldn’t be the first time
I thought he was talking about the charged cooler intake? Maybe I misread it.
Lol, good. I’m not the only one confused 🤷♂️
Well I’m up to 135k on it now no major issues. I didn’t put loctite on ac compressor bolts so that rattled loose and threw my serpentine belt other then that it’s been running great with no issues. One thing i have noticed it’s not a new problem but in cold weather if it’s not driven daily it has problems starting… have to go use the key cuz the remote start will draw battery dead before it pops off. I epoxied an oil pan heater to the bottom of the engine which if plugged in the car starts fine but cold start it struggles. Anybody else have this problem… and by cold weather i mean below 0

The charging strategy on these CTDs is programmed for fuel economy. The result is that the batteries never seem to get their full charge back. This is something I learned in the first few years of ownership.
the solution is to buy yourself a battery charger with an AGM program on it. Something with at least 10 amps output like the NOCO Genius 10. It’s currently the best value in an AGM compliant charger. And make a habit of placing that charger on your battery once every few weeks. You‘ll have no more starting problems.
I have a bunch of chargers, including a CTEK POLAR, but it’s 4.3 amps and just can’t do much on these 80 amp hour batteries. So I use a NOCO Genius 26000 on my CTD. At 26 amperes output it normally runs for two hours at least once a month. But there have been times when it’s run for as much as four hours. For comparison, a 10 amp charger would take 2.6 times as long, my CTEK six times longer. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

My car sits outside. I had very cold weather starting issues when my battery was 5 years old. I went the trickle charger route during that very cold week of -15F nights and made it through, then got through the rest of the winter without it. I replaced the battery sometime in 2019 and haven't had any issues since.

have you tested your glow plugs?
up until ~2yrs ago i had no trouble with cold starts down to -40, then all of a sudden no start, crank but no start
replaced glowplugs and battery and started using antigel at -20c for insurance, then had another no start, had to use the torpedo heater to warm the car up to get a start
then i installed coolant heater Coolant Heater (Cruze Gen1) and no problems since
