Detailed Description

Nissens part number 96547 is engineered as a front-mounted intercooler for the Chevrolet Cruze, helping cool compressed intake air before it enters the engine. Lower intake air temperatures support consistent engine efficiency and charge-air system performance, especially in turbocharged driving conditions. Nissens develops thermal management components with a focus on OE-equivalent fit and construction, and this intercooler uses an aluminum core with brazed cooling fins plus plastic inlet and outlet tanks for a factory-style configuration. This part cross-references 1302216 and 13330387 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Reduced charge-air cooling efficiency
• Damaged or leaking intercooler core
• Cracked or aging plastic end tanks
• Fitment issues from a non-specific replacement part
• Loss of boost-related performance caused by heat-soaked intake air

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm inlet and outlet sizing, quick-connect outlet style, and core dimensions against the original unit to ensure proper alignment with the factory charge-air plumbing. Inspect surrounding hoses, clamps, and seals during replacement so the new intercooler can be installed on a clean, leak-free system.
