all 1.4 engines! also on other similar motors too

massive street cred for the highway noise, those cars are going fast...and good emphasis on "you can't drop any little pieces into the dark engine bay or you're not gonna make it"

What year is your cruze? I have a 2014 cruze ltz, nothing but problems since 6 months in, have replaced absolutely everything, something's 2x over. My huge issue is the coolant system, has been replaced, but still the overflow tank keeps running dry, replaced all hoses, cant find visible leaks. I wanted to know as im about to tackle this project myself, i have the dex cool 50|50, my coolant tank has just a puddle inside, do i fill the tank with the coolant and then take off the bleeder screw? Im trying to know the exact steps to take so i dont need to bring it back to mechanic. Thanks so much in advance if you or anyone can help! Great video btw!

Missing the retaining clip on the reservoir tank so you're lucky the reservoir isn't cracked from it bumping around .

So my tubes keep coming off when I drive and when I refilled the coolant it was like bubbling and almost over flowing not sure why that is

That platic bleeding screw will fall apart if you never loosen it in years. You better replace it with metal one (compatible with bmw screws)

[PaulRoos-po]

what should you do if when you undo the bleeder screw water or fluid starts to immediately come out ?

[bricknmotor]

I have a serious question. You can really drive 2 hrs on just water.

[IpunkP]

Sometimes, it start from thermostat failure or radiator cap failure.

Has anyone had a blow head gasket happen after the overheating??? If so… did someone use blue devil head gaskets repair?

[johnperez]

As soon ass u turned on the car, shouldve took off to get somewhere not on the highway.

[bobdeengineer]

That is the worst bleeder screw design ever. These engines run hotter at 'normal operating Temp' 226 degrees F is not good for the head gaskets, seals and plastics.

Ya this car is a piece of crap, selling mine

I cannot get that little screw out I don't know how the f*** it came out so easy for you but this thing is breaking how the f*** am I supposed to get it out when it's plastic
