Ok so after three dealer visits and one front crankshaft seal and one replaced valve cover assembly due to a stuck pcv valve i hope this issue is finally resolved.

Now my next issue, I notice a small chirping noise when i give the car a small increase in RPM's between idle and 1.5k


This thing has 9k miles on it and is a 2016 limited 1.4. I have been a loyal Chevy and gm customer for with one cobalt, one 2012 cruze and one 2016 cruze limited and am disappointed in the quality of this car.

The noise is very light rattle/cherp and hope to narrow it down more over time as it is very hard to hear in this video. more than likely i will have to drive the car and hope it gets worse within the warranty time to get it fixed. At least the god awful pressure build up noise hasn't returned yet.

I have a 2016 Chevy Cruze limited and have the same chirping sound and it’s driving me nuts. How do you get rid of that noise???

Are you asking about the video in the first or second post?

The only noise I hear, could be a bad evap purge solenoid or normal fuel injector noise?

The first video is the crankshaft seal. I know cause mine made that noise and I replaced it which fixed it.
