Apart from the e.Torq engine used in newer Brazilian Fiats, that was actually developed by Chrysler in a joint-venture with BMW, every other Fiat engine is entirely designed in Italy.

The belts have lasted quite well here in europe, maybe it's the climate that breaks them?

Once it was mentioned that the iron ore in the Minas Gerais soil had something to do with that, but when the Fiasa engine was replaced locally with the Fire it didn't have the same issue. Fact is that the Fiasa engine had its belt tensioner inverted.
