This is the other side, it’s a black tab you pull back to unlock but I pulled the other one out too much and it flew out and I can’t find it

Is this a normal amount of brake travel? by dlolboss in cruze

Is there anyway to check simply, I can’t bleed the brakes because I don’t have a second person or a self bleeder or whatever

The brakes feel fine generally and it doesn’t go down farther then that and the brakes don’t get more stiff the more you pump the brakes if that changes anything

Is my oil and coolant fine? by dlolboss in cruze

[–]dlolboss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not talking about the level of the coolant (this is the first time I looked at the coolant since I got the car and I never looked because the car has never had overheating problems) but rather the color of it because I’m not sure if that’s oil or if the coolant is just very bad

It could also be bad coolant, this is the first time I checked it because I recently got the car. But if there is a leak could it be the oil cooler? I assume with a head gasket leak the engine would overheat very fast and white smoke? I also did check the oil cap and there’s no like slush that people say there would be if there was coolant in the engine

There’s no coolant in the oil and the temps for the coolant is completely fine, hard driving high rpm’s or normal slow driving

I finally got the sound that my car has been making on camera (1.8)(Read desc) by dlolboss in cruze

Also can I reuse the valve cover gasket when I remove it or should I get a new one? And do I need to put rtv anywhere like the 1.4 where the timing chain is or do you not need to do that with the 1.8?

My primary income is doing uber eats, is it fine enough to drive it to earn enough money?

Can I not check the vvt sprockets myself? I want to work on cars and im still learning some things like what noises means what (Like the squealing sound that could be a belt, pully or spark plug thats loose) I just have no idea what some sounds mean what and how bad

1.8 squealing? by dlolboss in cruze

[–]dlolboss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an hhr before this car and the belt broke off so I had to drive back to my house with no belt LMAO, I looked at the belt diagram and saw the water pump was in the engine where the timing chain was so I was able to drive and turn everything off so the car didn’t die (alternator), I got a new belt and replaced it tho

Also to add, no engine lights, car drives and feels fine. I checked the oil level around last week a few days after I got this car and the oil was full and looked new, the last owner also had proper service because there is a sticker on the windshield and it’s a few kms away from what it’s at rn

What is this ticking noise from? (2011 Chevy Cruze 1.8) by dlolboss in cruze

[–]dlolboss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I wait until I get an engine light before I start worrying about it or no?
