2012 chevy cruze oil in coolant12/30/2023 ![]() Other then the A/C off message it had a temp gauge that was at zero. My car did have a CEL but I don't remember what it was. When I had the A/C off message I did diagnose it down to a failed water temp sensor on the drivers side of the engine. If it still is giving issues it is time to check the sensors.ĭon't forget to introduce yourself and your Cruze here. Adjust the coolant level to the COLD mark if necessary. ![]() NOTE: After a test drive let the engine cool down and check the coolant level again. This ensures complete venting of the cooling system.ĩ- Turn the engine OFF and allow the engine to cool down.ġ1- Check the coolant level and fill to the COLD mark if necessary.ġ2- Inspect the concentration of the engine coolant, using GE-26568 tester.ġ3- Rinse away any excess coolant from the engine and engine compartment. Note: If the heater core has been replaced, let the engine run for 2 minutes at 2,000-2,500 RPM. Run at 2,500 RPM until the engine cooling fan turns ON. After the engine starts, verify that the coolant level reaches the bottom line of the down pipe hole.Ĩ- warm up the engine. When the coolant level stabilizes, add enough coolant to reach the bottom line of the down pipe hole.Ħ- Start the engine. NOTE: Close vent screw when coolant begins to flow from the vent screw.ĥ- Add a mixture of 50/50 DEX-COOL antifreeze and clean drinkable water to the bottom line of the bleed nozzle on the coolant surge tank. (vent screw is located at the top, right (passenger) side of the radiator) Make sure you have properly "burped" the system. any ideas on what I should do now ?Ģ011-2016 Cruze 1.4 PCV Valve Cover/Intake Manifold Issues I decided to change the engine coolant temp sensor (I am aware that there is two in this vehicle im just trying things here lol ) and the needle still floats around but no CEL or A/C message. But I noticed the temp needle would float between the C and the middle mark. No issues and this weekend I got the A/C off due to high engine temp message again but my car wasn’t overheating nor did I have a check engine light. I fixed that and my mechanic bleed the lines. I found it to be the lower radiator hose had a leak and it was under pressure causing coolant to spray on hot parts of the engine hence the white smoke. ![]() I quickly decided to turn off of the highway and pull over at that time I noticed white smoke and instantly thought my head gasket was gone. Fast forward to Two weeks ago I noticed when I was on the highway I loss acceleration and my car felt like it was about to die. the noises it was making were horrible … replaced that and once again I thought I was fine. Ībout a month ago I noticed the my Valve cover and gasket were bad. Replaced that and everything was “fine” … couple months down the road had to replace PCV and MAP sensors. in January I got the “AC off Due to high Engine Temp” message … got the code read and it was my thermostat. So I’ve recently been having issues with my Cruze.
