The 2.4-liter Dodge EDV turbo engine was produced at the concern’s factories from 2002 to 2009 and was installed on charged versions of a number of models, such as the PT Cruiser GT or Neon SRT-4. There was a slightly deformed version of this power unit under the EDT index.
The Neon series also includes internal combustion engines: EBD, ECB, ECC, ECH, EDT and EDZ.
The engine was installed on:
- Chrysler PT Cruiser 1 (PT) in 2002 – 2009;

Disadvantages of the EDV engine
- The main thing is to monitor the cooling system, as this motor often overheats;
- In addition, antifreeze leaks regularly occur here, which aggravates the situation;
- The timing belt needs to be replaced every 100,000 km, or if it breaks, the valve will bend;
- From bad gasoline, fuel injectors quickly become clogged and require flushing;
- Already after 100 – 150 thousand kilometers, a decent oil consumption may appear.
