"I have had my Chev Cruze 1.8 (Manual) for about 4 months now. At about 4500 km's - I got a fault codE 79 as a warning. I checked the oil out of curiosity & it had dropped to the halfway mark. When I took it to the dealer, they said there was a modification to a fuel pipe. However, after they changed the fuel pipe, I still received this error code. In the mean time, I noticed drops/lags in power, especially when driving uphill & also when using climate control. The next time I took the car in (about 8100km), I noticed the oil had dropped to almost the bottom mark. I told the maintenance guy about this & they just filled up the oil. He didn't think it had anything to do with the fault code. I haven't had the fault code reappear since then. I still haven't got a satisfactory response about the fault code (what it means) - they say that the software was updated. I was also told taht its normal for the vehicle to use oil! About 1 litre/pint per 1000 km's"
and this:
Code 79 Top up engine oil. All information is given in the Owners Manual
it was happened to my car while it was only 9 th. km , and first day. "code 79"
service checked oil stick and oil sensor cable. than "code 79" signed again.
SEE YOUR SENSOR HERE (item 27):
*** yA know... seems MANY people are having problems with "this sensor" and perhaps GM needs to replace or design one that is more compatible with this car engine?
Also I noted MANY COMPLAINTS about "high oil usage" ~ so perhaps this 'early warning' is better?
Did you remember to clear the codes after your replacement? Un hook battery for 5 mins. and run the car. If the problem persist repost and I will try to help you.
Hello
Recently i got same error and i took it to holden dealer... it cost me 390$.
They replaced thermal sensor or something and also the code is actually for engine oil low on level... i mean it needs engine oil topped up.
After replacing the thermal sensor has the code 79 came up again.
