Application and Function

The Rotomaster K1042238N coolant return line routes coolant away from the turbocharger after it has absorbed heat during operation.

This replacement line is built to meet the demands of routine turbocharger repair and replacement.

This part cross-references 55567067 and N104238L for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Coolant leakage at the turbocharger return circuit
  • Corrosion or heat-related damage to the original line
  • Restricted coolant flow caused by buildup or internal blockage
  • Sealing issues after turbocharger removal or replacement
  • Service concerns on turbocharged GM vehicles with aging coolant lines

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace turbocharger oil and coolant lines whenever the turbocharger is removed or replaced. For the listed Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax, Chevrolet Sonic, Chevrolet Cruze, and Chevrolet Cruze Limited applications, the manufacturer notes that engine oil, the oil filter, and the intake air filter must also be changed to ensure proper turbo function. Refer to the installation guide included in the box and verify fitment before installation.
