i suggest doing this job! My Cruze has 150,000 miles. I changed 2 previous pumps myself and when it came time for the 3rd I let the dealer do it because I was busy and felt what the hell how much could it cost. Well for an hours work they charged me $737.62 $400.00 for the labor, $24.00 Misc.,$263.76 parts. What a RIP!
Those engine mount bolts are stretch bolts so technically you're not supposed to re use them. They should be torqued to spec and then tightened another 60 degrees.. I.e into the plastic deformation phase of the bolt. I probably wouldn't replace them either but your viewers should know those bolts are not "supposed" to be re-used as they are already stretched.
I had no issues replacing the thermostat, coolant reservoir and the water pump thanks to your videos! However, after replacing the water pump today I now have a squeal that sounds like it's coming from the pulley. Everything else works great, but that squeal needs to go! Any idea why it would make that noise now or how I can adjust it? no issue before. Thanks!
Watched one of your videos about the sensors glad you made one for the water pump very helpful I will be looking forward for more in the future u made it easy for me to work on my Cruze thanks again
2011-2014 cruz 2012-2014 sonic With 1.4 engine Leaking water pump is still under warranty! 10 years/150k regardless less of owner. Take it to Chevy have them fix it for free and get your complementary rental while they fix it! https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/SB-10079524-0335.pdf Like this so everyone can see it.
Thank you for the super informative video…while I'm not the handiest person, nor have the space (or the space for tools such as jacks) in the city, I like knowing what I'm paying my mechanic for.
This video and the two on draining and refilling the coolant saved me over $900. I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze LTZ. I replaced the water pump, thermostat, water outlet, serpantine belt, coolant, coolant reservoir tank and misc tools for $350. Much appreciated information. God bless.
My coolant is boiling and causing overheating I’ve replaced thermostat both temperature sensors water pump and water outlet valve and it still seems to be boiling I don’t see any leaks in the system and the radiator fan is working properly anyone have any advice?

You are very precise with your instructions thank you. Changing the water pump on an Equinox is insane.
Nice and detailed,what jazz song during rtv application ?
Im wacthing this video for my autoshop class and I was wondering what year the car is. is it a 2014?
Is it necessary to use the rtv gasket maker or would the new gasket be sufficient?

I replaced water pump but now after putting it all back together the fan is on high and won’t go back to normal. Any idea why?
I took off an engine bolt not paying attention it’s the one at 8:31 on the right side at the bottom there and I’m looking for how much torque it needs
You did a great job on this video, this helped me and lots of other people. You should be proud

Thanks for all these videos! I was told my 2014 chevy cruze needs a whole new coolant system and the dealership said it would cost 3500
I have a overheating problem and I want to be exactly sure what part is causing my car to overheat
