Question about Intake Manifold Arm
 

2013 Chevy Cruze 1.4 Eco.

Check engine light on for intake manifold...the arm, or linkage, keeps coming loose at the bottom even after I pop it back in.

Can I use electrical tape to secure it or do I need to replace the whole thing? I'm struggling to find just the arm to replace. If I did, how hard would that be to do?

Weld, Gorilla Glue, or duct tape these things fix all of life’s problems.

It’s all ball bearings.

Id say try it and see if it works. Electrical tape comes in very handy...and maybe it ends up being a slight hassle where you swap out the tape every couple of weeks....either way if it works, you save a ton of money on repairs. worth a shot.

I was thinking about an adhesive like that...but does that then affect the ability of the intake manifold to work? Doesn't it need to rotate around in there?

Please readjust sarcasm meter.

I know next to nothing about these things.

He has been absent with life things but Sauto is the man on these things maybe he will chime in if he see this.

Gotta' watch that Fetzer valve too.

Blinker fluid ok?

I think I had intake manifold arm once. Took some penicillin and it cleared right up.

can you post a picture?

i've got a 2011 cruze 1.4 turbo complete sitting in my shop and the only arm i'm seeing is on the turbo wastegate but thats on the side towards the firewall...
