The intake tube going into my manifold blew off with a POP!. I thought I blew out the turbo until I noticed the tube off. I'm not sure if I'm not sure if the wastegate isn't opening up or if the fitting is just weak. Not sure how to go about diagnosing the problem. Any suggestions?

The 5 hose clamps between the air box and turbo are know for loosening over time. Always check those clamps for tightness at every oil change.

I don't seem to have a "pre turbo" problem. it's after the intake has been boosted, after the intercooler, going into the engine intake manifold. Popped off due to the pressure or due to a weak fitting. I have 90k miles on it. I have the manufactures shop manual, but it is very hard to find the diagnosis procedure to determine if it's a sensor, or part of the control electronics.

Are you referring to the large plastic pipe that runs into the throttle body/regulating flap? If so the clip on it can get weak over time and pop off.

Thanks Greg, I should’ve read the OP more closely...yes I recall several posts here about that clip at the intake manifold loosening/weakening/breaking causing the pipe to blow off.

How’s that related to his problems? He is saying the tube going into the manifold not the air box to turbo hose.

 

[pandrad61]

I doubt the pipe itself is the problem and could be a clamp. As others have said. At 90k I don’t see the pipes failing, but crazier things have happened.

Do you have a part# for that? This is a known issue so I've been looking for a few months to proactively replace it but every GM site I have seen doesn't have it available.

I believe it's #8 seen below on the Air Outlet Tube (95472182)

If that is the problem, that is the best news I could ever get. I'll just put a hose clam on it, solves that weak clip problem

I just tried the gmpartsdirect site you linked and is shows it as special order, but does not say it's not availible. It has the add to cart option availible. Seems a bit expensive for a plastic part though.

I don't think a regular hose clamp will work, and from what I've seen the issue is not the clip failing, it is the plastic part cracks.

The link I gave in that post is to the intake hose which the clip is part of - it's not the part# for the clip itself.

I went to the dealer today and he confirmed the clip for the Cruze Deisel has no part number, you have to buy the entire hose. However, he did show me a clip from a recall on some 2019 cars with the 1.5 Turbo. The clip looks identical but it doesn't show as compatible with the Diesel, but he said it's possible. I looked at the clip and the one on my car and they look the same but I didn't pull it off to check. The part # is 13434668 He said they are selling it separately because of a TSB for it for fatiguing and blowing off.

Anyone brave enough to buy one and see if it fits on the Cruze Diesel?

Here's a link to the TSB for the part and the fix. It sure looks similar

Hose clamp over the clip, lasted 6 miles. Dealer says that they don't sell the clip separate. And it's special order takes a week to get. And as I attempted to remove the clip tp look at it, the plastic you mentioned broke up and fell off. I may have to bite the bullet and buy the whole thing If I can't come up with a solution.

Not much risk for a $6 part.. though not sure what it would be with shipping, could be another $6!

Certainly it would be good to know if this would do the trick, much better than buying the whole part, but there are still the issues where people have had that elbow crack, so if the clip is it is at the point of failure, might be worthwhile to replace the whole thing it to avoid the crack failure later.

Check out my post above yours. I list a clip that might work. Could you take your clip to the dealer see if they have one in stock to compare it to the CTD part?

Upon closer examination I noticed that the lip or collar on the aluminum throttle body had a slight notch or grove worn out of it by the steel clip. Just adding a new clip wasn't going to be any help. So I came up with a holding solution using 2 hose clamps. Drilled a hole for the bottom front bolt that holds the throttle body in place on the bottom clamp (cut off the screw on that one) and drilled a hole in the top clamp. Used clamp lengths that put the screw in a very reachable position. And just for goo measure I put the clip back on.

I’ve been thinking of getting rid of that plastic squished pipe and going for a normal boost pipe with a 90 right angle.

 

[MP81]

If it fits, I can't imagine that wouldn't lead to a slight improvement in performance, given the performance should be better. But it's definitely tight quarters, which I imagine is why GM went with what we have.

My goal for replacement would be simple easy to find parts vs dealer or junkyard/eBay. Yah definitely it’s right but I’ll have to look again, at some point I thought to measure the space and see what we are working with. Maybe we can move the computer over a bit to the fender to allow normal pipe.
