My '03 24v GTI VR6 is 16 years old. It's a 6 speed manual, and the VW dealership won't change the transmission oil. They tell me that the transmission oil is for the life of the vehicle! Hard to believe. Any comments on this would be appreciated.

It was awesome meeting you at the vision expo! Can't wait for the next episode on the white wookie

[The Car Crazy Guy]

I suspect the root problem with the Holden Cruze is that it's basically a rebadged Daewoo (they did the bulk of the engineering and styling) – and they're not a company that's generally associated with quality. After all, there's already been 4 different recalls for the Cruze, including for engine bay fires, loss of brakes, faulty axles, and even for the steering wheel coming off while driving…and according to Consumer Reports, during its first year, the Cruze scored the lowest in reliability among compact sedans. Few mechanics are going to want to work on it – too much chance of the customer coming back a week later with a new problem and blaming the mechanic for it with the "Well, you worked on it last" argument.

Will you be visiting the UK?

Charles enjoy your videos. Even if you're not a VW guy many of your explanations can be related to general mechanical troubleshooting. Thanks for all the pointers. ❤️️

I actually took my skoda (2nd gen 1.8 TSI) to dealership because of engine vibrations/rattle (on passenger side) at idle. I had engine mount bushing and (on my request) timing chain tensioner, chain and guides replaced. Haven't had any problems since then. I also noticed that after driving the car harder idle fuel consumption decreased from 1 to 0.7-0.8l/h (warm engine, lights on, no air con).

Charles, thanks so much for answering my question. I think the scan found something. Strange because I brought it to the dealer 4 weeks ago and it's like they never scanned it. This is the reading.

Typically on the Cruze the valve cover starts to suck air and causes a lean misfire. The valve cover has the pcv/oil separator built into it and the diaphragm leaks allowing extra unmetered air into the intake. If you pull the engine cover off, there is a little hole right behind the #4 ignition coil put your finger over it and see if it runs better.

Gonna guess that a golden Cruze is a Chevy cruze
