For those interested, the service dept found a bad PCV valve. Unfortunately the only replacement is in Denver so they are getting it first thing in the morning. They predict the Jeep will be ready early afternoon tomorrow.

I'm very happy with my 2.0T, no issues, fun and responsive, mid to high 20s mpg with 91 non ethanol, 89 (ethanol) when non ethanol not available. 1700 miles.
Question ; will the non ethanol fuel keep valves cleaner ? What treatments to keep DI deposits from building up ?
Seafoam treatment can be used on DI to keep intake clean. Common to do this on Audi’s that have DI. Google how to do it.

Yes it does, the 2.0 turbo uses a water-to-air intercooler
Understood.
I was meaning it doesn't have an air to air intercooler to drill a drain hole in, so it doesn't pertain to this.

No, it does not. If you look under the hood you’ll see that the intake air goes straight from the air cleaner through the throttle body, into the turbo compressor then directly into the head. No traditional intercooler at all. The throttle body and turbo are water cooled by a separate system which has a small heat exchanger in front of the radiator.

Yes, it uses a water-to-air intercooler/heat exchanger/charge air cooler/whatever you want to call it to bring air temps down.

Per FCA:
"A dedicated cooling circuit lowers the temperature of the intake air, throttle body and turbocharger"

I have over 400k miles on a stock 4.7L V8 WJ. Have had a check engine light for 8 years straight (Don't feel like replacing the evap canister). Displacement and simple design FTW. Thought about trading her in for a new wrangler but having second thoughts...

Is this 2.0 "Mild Hybrid" system in any other FCA automobiles? I'd like to lurk those forums and look for any problems.
Hi! I have a 2019 Sahara with the 2.0L engine. Just yesterday I went of roaring on loose sand and kept getting stuck. I feel like the Turbo isn’t engaging...Has anyone ever had this problem?

Did you turn off traction control and ESC while playing in the sand?
Bet that's it. My 3.6 felt like it had a hamster in it on a recent off-road excursion in the sand before I realized the TC was on.

Unleash that beast!

No I didn’t...I’m new to sand.

Do those modifications improve power on sand? I just installed 33” on her and was wondering if that’s could be a reason.
