The Jeep EDV – Petrol (FCA) is a 1,995 cc, inline‑four turbocharged engine produced between 2016 and 2020. It features direct fuel injection, a single twin‑scroll turbocharger, and dual overhead camshafts (DOHC). This unit delivers 177 kW (241 PS) and 350 Nm of torque, with technologies like MultiAir II enabling precise valve control for responsive performance.
Fitted primarily to the Cherokee (KL), the EDV was engineered for a blend of on-road refinement and off-road torque. Its character offers strong mid-range pull and smooth power delivery. Emissions compliance was achieved through a three‑way catalyst and secondary air injection, meeting Euro 6b standards from launch.
One documented concern involves premature failure of the turbocharger’s electronic wastegate actuator, as noted in FCA Service Bulletin 09‑008‑19. This issue is often linked to water ingress or electrical faults in the actuator’s control circuit. FCA addressed this with revised actuator seals and updated control module software in 2018.
Production years 2016–2020 meet Euro 6b standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/FCA/7890).
The Jeep EDV – Petrol (FCA) is a 1,995 cc inline‑four turbocharged engine engineered for mid-size SUVs (2016-2020). It combines direct injection with MultiAir II valve control to deliver strong, linear power and torque. Designed to meet Euro 6b standards, it balances performance with regulatory compliance.

The twin-scroll turbo provides strong, linear power ideal for highway overtaking but requires premium unleaded (95 RON minimum) to prevent knock and protect the direct injection system. FCA MS-12991 (5W-40) oil is critical for maintaining variable valve timing (MultiAir) performance. The turbocharger's electronic wastegate actuator is susceptible to water ingress; ensure the engine bay drainage channels are clear. Actuator failures were addressed with revised seals per FCA SIB 09-008-19; pre-2018 models should have the updated part if replacement is needed.
Oil Specs: Requires FCA MS-12991 (5W-40) specification (FCA Owner's Manual).
Emissions: Euro 6b certification applies to all 2016-2020 production (VCA Type Approval #VCA/FCA/7890).
Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards. Requires 95 RON minimum fuel (FCA TIS Doc. F4B-5750).

The Jeep EDV – Petrol (FCA) was used across Jeep's KL platform with transverse mounting. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-reinforced mounts for the Cherokee-with no major facelift revisions affecting core compatibility. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on the front of the cylinder block, near the exhaust manifold (FCA TIS F4B-5600). The 8th VIN digit typically indicates engine displacement ('C' for 2.0L petrol). Visually, the engine features a black plastic intake manifold with '2.0 T MULTIAIR' branding. Critical differentiation from the 2.4L Tigershark engine: EDV has a twin-scroll turbo with a distinct exhaust housing and no balance shafts. Service parts require VIN verification - turbo actuator components for pre-2018 models differ from post-2018 units due to seal revisions (FCA SIB 09-008-19).
The EDV's primary reliability risk is turbocharger wastegate actuator failure, with elevated incidence in vehicles exposed to wet conditions or with blocked engine bay drains. FCA internal data from 2019 indicated a notable number of actuator replacements under warranty for early-build vehicles, while UK DVSA records show no systemic emissions failures linked to this issue. Adherence to drain maintenance and using the latest revised actuator part make longevity critical.
Analysis derived from FCA technical bulletins (2018-2020) and UK DVSA failure statistics (2019-2023). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
