has anyone seen any video or technical instructions on changing the intake manifold on a 2013 Cruze 1.8L G engine?

Anyone who had this failure on that engine was covered under powertrain, so the dealer did the repair.

Haven't seen any vids yet.

Are you beyond 100k miles?

I did get a GM tech to print out the shop manual pages for this repair today!

With only 7K over, you could ask for a "goodwill" repair.

What's wrong with the manifold?

 

[Robby]

I'll answer for the OP.

The 1.8's have a air valve built into the manifold....Might be called a 'Air Charge Valve' or something along those lines.
The purpose is to increase airspeed as it enters the intake ports in an attempt to enhance low speed torque and reduce low speed emissions.

A few members have reported a failure (sets a code).

OK, thanks. I was wondering how a manifold goes bad.
