ACDelco GM Genuine Parts 25194218 Oil Cooler Pipe

My Sonic was leaking coolant and smoking like crazy which meant it was the oil cooler dripping on the exhaust system. I'd already replaced the thermostat and the valve cover and I wasn't losing any oil. After getting a quote of $900 that wasn't in the budget, I watched several videos and hunted down parts. After considering non-OEM parts, I decided that the cost savings wasn't worth the risk of having to do the 5-6 hour job over - either missing critical gaskets, misfits, and/or leaking after a short time. So I spent $250 on all GM parts, the 3 pipes and the oil cooler itself. It was a bit of a challenge but everything fit and the leak has been fixed. The YouTube video that I found most useful was "How To Replace Oil Cooler Assembly [ Chevrolet Cruze/Sonic/Holden Barina 1.8L 1st Gen 2011-16 ]". It will save a ton of time to have an impact driver to deal with all the nuts and bolts. It took 5 hours for 2 of us, both experienced working on cars. These are all 4 parts: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JBE9XU, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JBJWKU, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E6CLQJQ, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0792JGR8N.

I have to say this is great and works perfectly. The o-rings fit in like a glove. I have bought others that didn’t fit the o-rings and kept having leaks but replacing this was way easier than trying to replace the o-rings alone.

Amazon was showing 2 weeks for seller to deliver, which was going to delay my repair project, but the part showed up in a few days time. It was a genuine GM part and did not leak upon installation so I'm happy.

Not only is this part priced far better than what a dealer will ever get for you, but it's also revised so it fits and works better as well. I didn't know this when I bought it (didn't pay attention, it says right on the page) so it's actually a little bit longer and fits in its receptacle farther down and won't easily dislodge, unlike the original which practically fell out. This particular piece isn't too bad to replace, but the thermostat it bolts up to is a PITA. If you just need this part, all you have to do is disconnect the gear wire to the transmission and tuck it out of the way

Highly recommend replacing this at the same time as the thermostat. Put it in a 2015 Chevy Cruze 1.8 Coolant leak fixed

Used on a 2012 cruise cooling system in bad shape. This tube was available and it took care of the problem.

Oil cooler line is an actual OEM part and fit perfectly itself. However, I had to go to the dealership for the O-ring for the oil cooler side. This one from Amazon was slightly too large. If you put dish soap on it and it still won’t go into place, DO NOT SHOVE—it might be the wrong O-ring. Try your dealership—the 0.5 millimeter might be indistinguishable to the naked eye, but the right one will lock right into place. The O-ring that mates with the thermostat housing was correct, in my case.

Pièce exacte pour mon auto. Merci.

Direct OEM replacement, and fit perfectly at half the price of going through the dealership...

Facile à installer mais faite attention à ne pas trop serrer !!!!
