A few hours ago with the words “Fiat reconfirms its objectives for 2008″, the Torino based company announced that it will resume production of its 1.3 M-jet diesel engine, only three days after they announced the production halt due to anomalies in a few externally sourced components.
The Polish plant at Bielsko Biala will return to normal service, with Fiat Powertrain claiming to have fully resolved the quality problems and confirming that it will resume production of the cars that have the unit fitted by February the 26th.
The 1.3 Multijet engine is used in all the mainstays of the Fiat Group: the Panda, Punto, Grande Punto, Ciquecento, Idea, Doblo, Lancia Y, Lancia Musa. Moreover, that unit is also used on the Opel Agila and the Opel Corsa.
