2021 Jeep Wrangler limited sport
I got a 2012 Jeep Wrangler2.0 limited sport. When I'm on the highway going it's fine, then if I'm at at Red light the fan comes on the starts going really fast, I have to put it in neutral and push my gas pedal to 2-3 rpm's then the needle comes down. It's not over heating driving it's sitting at idle at Red light or I do Lyft I have to shut off the Jeep and wait for the riders. So I took it to the dealership they said my, heater hose was bad but it was emptying my coolant tank but I don't see it leaking place I lay under the Jeep and just let it run and I see no leaking. But around the coolent tank I see that pink stuff on the the part you put under the coolant tank. I just bought the whole hose, that's what the dealership said what was the problem, this I don't see leaking other then that on stuff on the part you put on, the one with the pin on it.
They told me even I got the Jeep that tank you replaced that they said that was the turbo but to touch that..I was like hmmm turbo is motor part.

So that's tank is for coolant on the Jeep? This is first time having Jeep I've had it 2 yrs.
I use to work on my own but since back surgery and now divorced I got to try and fix things again myself. I'm raising my 11 grand daughter to so not allot money I got to get ask things fixed. Alternator needs that smaller one on it, that buffet one is messing with my tranny I have to manually switch my gears it only jerks in 4 gear. The tranny shop get alternator done first.
Then I hear clicking in front tire and in slowing down you can get it go click click as you are stopping. I think it's might be a barring but not sure.

Being broke isn't fun when it's that only vehicle you got. I can't get nothing else.

So the black box on driver's side on firewall is my holding tank I need to fill that up I'm so frustrated my motor 2.0 turbo. So I need to check the holding tank. I was told never mess with the box with yellow cap on cause that's the turbo!!!!! You can email me at [email protected]
I really need this fixed only car I have. I really need it. Thanks for reading this post.

With respect, I think you need to proofread your post as there are a lot of inconsistencies:
  1. I'm assuming you have a 2021 Jeep not a 2012 Jeep as you stated, since they didn't have the 2.0 in 2012.
  2. The cooling tank is a relatively common problem on the 2.0 as it cracks. There are many posts about this. If there are any leaks anywhere in the system, that it bad. The cooling system needs to hold pressure to function properly to raise the boiling point of the coolant.
  3. If you're not sure which tank is the cooling tank vs the turbo, I'm not sure you want to be doing this work. Again with respect here, there's a lot going on with your Jeep even outside the cooling system that is going to require troubleshooting and a lot of fixing, or you will just be replacing a lot of parts and hoping that it works.
