I’ve had this Cruze for 10 years and 95k miles have been able to keep up maintenance by replacing tubes, thermostats, gaskets and coolant temp sensors. After sitting due to the pandemic and no where to go, my AC and heat no longer work. I’ve changed ECT sensors, AC compressor, spark plugs, thermostats, water pump and still have code P00B7 (using thinkobd) and my temp gauge will bounce up to H and power lowers, then after a short engine shut down, and returning to driving the gauge stays in the center. In a situation where buying a new car isn’t feasible and need to push this car to 200k miles. What is the next step or likely culprit for this problem?
thanks!
Trust me sell this car right now they don't last after 100000miles they are gonna be more endless money pit. Sell this one and buy used toyota and Honda.
Now matter how much you baby this car at this point it won't last till 200000miles. Right now ur only having minor problems in future u will have head gasket problem and transmission problem and that will cost you a fortune to fix. So just think about it how much are willing to spend on this car?
Fun fact you can used honda or toyota from year 2010 to 2014 for $10000 dollar. So if you sell this car to carvana or carfax you can get decent money which u can use to buyused toyota or Honda
It's amazing no matter how much you'll take care of these cars, they'll still fall apart right in front of your very eyes. Just get rid of it and try and find a reliable used car for a couple thousand dollars, it will save you the massive headache you're going to have trying deal with the problems it's going to constantly have.
