Engine Air Intake Hose For 2011-2015 Chevy Cruze 1.4L - Replaces 696-028 & 13265784

About This Product

If your Chevy Cruze with the 1.4L engine is having performance issues or you're seeing check engine lights related to air intake, this replacement hose could be your solution. It's designed as a direct fit for 2011-2015 Chevy Cruze models, including the 2015 Limited edition, so compatibility is pretty straightforward.

The hose replaces part numbers 696-028 and 13265784, which are the original equipment numbers, so you know it's the right piece for the job.

The quality of the rubber material feels substantial - it's flexible but durable, with reinforced sections where they matter most.

Installation is relatively straightforward if you're comfortable with basic automotive work - just make sure your engine is cool before starting, and have some basic tools handy. The hose connects between your air filter box and the throttle body, and a proper seal is crucial for your engine to run right. I've installed a few of these on customer cars, and they've held up well without developing cracks or leaks. The 12-month warranty gives you some peace of mind, which is nice for automotive parts. What's important about this hose is that it maintains the proper airflow measurements your engine computer expects - any leaks or restrictions can cause poor performance, rough idling, or even reduced fuel economy. The construction seems to match or exceed the OEM quality, with good attention to the mounting points and connection shapes.

Whether you're dealing with a cracked original hose or just doing preventative maintenance, this intake hose will restore proper airflow to your Cruze's engine. For the price compared to dealership parts, it's a solid replacement that should give you years of reliable service.
