Talk:Fiat JTD engine

What does GM now own?

Its just the traditional JTD that GM now own, and not the MultiJet common-rail, right? --Kiand 21:12, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

My reading of the press reports suggests that GM now owns the rights to all post-JV (1999+) technology as well as to the base engine. So this would include the modern JTD. I'm not sure if Fiat still retains any rights - reports have been contradictory. I would imagine that they retain pre-JV rights, and probably also get the JV-related work. --SFoskett 21:24, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

How did GM get all of these rights? Failed merger doesn't really explain it...

They didn't. Not according to this press-release from GM Europe, which states both companies retain shared intelectual property of the 1.9 L engine technology and the factory where the 1.3 L engine is built. I interpret this to mean they share property on the injection system. The 1.9 L block belongs to Fiat, as it predates its use of direct injection. The 1.3 L engine block may belong solely to Powertrain. I don't know about the forthcoming 1.6 L. --Pc13 07:53, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)

I have a new MultiJet Panda, and I'd not have bought it if I knew GM had engine rights, I have my reasons for seriously disliking them... --Kiand 21:25, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oh dear! How do you justify not liking GM. Can you tell us/me?

I used to dislike FIAT. In my opinion at the time i had good reason to dislike them. I had purchased two brand new cars from them. I now think it a complete waste of time to dislike any motor company based on one persons experience. They all provide a means to an end and are in a lot of cases very likeable.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.178.150.66 (talk) 07:11, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

1.3 Multijet variable-geometry turbocharger

There's also a version of the 1st-generation 1.3 Multijet with 85PS (62kW) that uses a variable-geometry turbocharger - I have one in my Fiat Doblo and was wondering whether it has been used elsewhere. OK to add? Nkh08 (talk) 13:05, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Suzuki 0.8L DDiS

The 0.8L DDiS is not a Multijet variant, it was developed solely by Suzuki, it uses an all aluminum construction. Siddhesh2205 (talk) 05:15, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

Engine materials

Hey, could somebody take a look at the "layout" part? According to me it must say what the materials for the block & head are instead of what it currently says. Kindly disregard this note if what it says in the article is correct, no need to respond.
