Just finished mine, thank you for the video! I didnt bother with taking the battery out but I probably should have. Spent some time fishing for a dropped bolt!

Showing clearly how all the connectors work and disconnect makes this video next level. Fantastic!

Not even done watching but thank you for the thorough instructions, explaining in detail, etc. I knew this was my 2018 malibu’s issue, but have been stressing changing this out myself… glad i can rest assured and still save labor $$$

your not even lying, i got to look why it cost so much to repair, just research and after multiple videos this one being the best. i can do this. I just need the muscle to help me lol

So happy i figured this out. Genuinely thought it was a sensor or at worst the booster. Glad its an easy fix. Crazy that there hasnt been anything from Chevy about this. Seems like its enough cars to warrant atleast a bulletin

Im a jeep guy so not too familiar with chevy but my stepdaughters malibu has this same issue. By far the best, easiest video to follow for replacing this part. Really appreciate you taking the time to do the extra work removing the battery to show us!! Thank you!!

This video was 10% vaccume pump removal and 90% battery removal lol. Great video tho thanks.

Thanks bro you just saved me a lot of money! Changed myself and I’m no mechanic 😅

Got a 2017 malibu with 35k miles on it. Doing this job now. Couldn't figure out how to get the battery out lol. Appreciate the video. Pretty simple job.

This happened to mine as well. How did you go about fixing it. I believe I heard the cam break

There is a class action lawsuit on this problem that GM will not acknowledge they won't even attempt to recall this part. Then they try to charge 5k for a camshaft repair

Great presentation, thank you for the information! 🙏

Great video, thank you for the simple and easy to follow instructions! The only thing I disagree with you on is the cause of the failure. The oil screen got clogged so the part got oil starved, overheated from excess friction. That caused the vacuum rotor to shatter. It did exactly what it was supposed to do. Belter that $60 part fail vs destroying the camshaft end and causing a head rebuild or worse, complete engine failure. I don't foresee there being any recalls. Regular oil changes with high quality oil will reduce/prevent that screen from getting gunked up. Unless it is a design flaw causing the filter to clog, then you might see a TSB.

I just fixed mine thanks for video😊

Great video brother, thank you!

this video was very helpful appreciate it alot

Great video all info is perfect. Align the drive dogs on the cam before tightening bolts would be my only suggestion. Thanks Again, great video

Thank you for this!!

I thank you for this informative video it helped me a lot but I didn’t remove the battery all I did was to loosen up the hose that black hose put it a bit to the side and keep telling myself patience patience loosen the screws by hand. Of course after loosen them with wrench

Still getting p0556 The brakes seem to work fine. No hard pedal. Any other ideas? Guess I could take the pump off just to open it up and check it? And put it back on if it's good ...

Question. Which way does the deal face? Not sure if I put the seal on right.

My vacuum pump went out last year in February and the dealership charged me almost $800 to fix it. Now the problem exist again and come to find out that it wasn't covered under any type of warranty. Now I'm looking into trying to replace it myself to save much more money.

Thank you for the instuction video!!! I just bought a used malibu with only 68K and has the same issue. I notice oil underneeth the pump. Kind of wish I bought another ford again or honda/toyoda. I guess these have to be replaced every 50K. WTF, I hate the chevy 2012 chevy sonic I purchased last year uunder 5K for not having an analog collant temp gauge. I will never buy anohter used car with out a temperature dash gagauge. Newer cars are having less vital features. Another missing feaure in many newer cars (NO TRANSMITION DIP STICK) to check the flud level a bolt has to be removed behind the left sterring front side tire and if there is a slow drip with the car running and level it is at the proper level. THANKS GM for making everything difficult... I got 360K out of my ford focus before needing to replace the catalic convertor again then deciding to sell it because of my millage and prior maitenace. Still non the lesss I like the design better. Includes a transmition dip stick and temp gauge... ALL CARS should have this unless its electric....
