Hey guys, bought a 2014 cruze 1.4lt and 46k later I may have my first problem.
Car has been very well taken care of since i bought with 10 miles on it. All oil changes and spark plug changes up to date.
I have babied the car since I got it, I don't floor it everywhere i go, im very smooth and the car is 98% highway mileage at about 60mph, great gas mileage, etc.
No problems until today.
edit: car is 100% stock besides res delete, no tune
I started car and warmed it up, then I proceeded to a NAPA repair to buy new amsoil sig series oil and filter. This is the first time i've been on this stretch of road and it has a lot of steep hills. I had no trouble on the way there, however after heading back home, i was going up a hill, I pressed gas to ascend and I have a resonator delete so I can hear turbo, and as it was pulling up the hill all of a sudden it immediately lost boost and i heard about 3 single but rapid ticking noises (tick-tick-tick) and i immediately got off the gas and pulled over. I heard no blow off from the valve when this happened. When I pulled over there were no CEL or anything wrong, I proceeded again to continue up the hill but going VERY slow with no turbo assist and i made it home with no problems. Just before I got home I went up a little hill and purposely pressed the pedal to re-produce the problem but I couldn't, the turbo pulled fine and I heard the blow-off. My car is now like as if nothing ever happened. Popped hood and noticed nothing wrong, no leaks or holes or anything, very strange.
Can someone let me know what may of happened? Like I said no CEL and car seemed to work fine after.
