No operating engine factories

[guituga---]

I was playing the Lite Campaign 4.1 and the following message appeared in "News":
Warning: Engine Project (Engine Name) has no operating factories for the Facelift Mk 1. There are cars in production that need it!
Can anyone help?

Sounds like you made a car and engine, but never assigned an engine factory to the engine, so it's stuck as a concept engine. For an immediate fix, go to the factory manager, build a new factory and then tell the game to tool it for your engine.

oh ok but it was a production car and 4-5 years later that appeared but i will try that

If you have multiple models using the same engine, and only one engine factory making it you will need to facelift all the other car models at the same time to change to the new engine.

My guess is you did a facelift + changed engine on one model, with other models still using the old engine version.

EDIT: If you really don't want to facelift your other models, you can have a second engine factory making the old engine version. An cheap way to do this is to make a contractor sized engine factory, which finishes in seven months. Be warned that contractor engines are VERY expensive though compared to engines your own factories make.

I think it would be preferable to do facelifts on all car models using the engine, though perhaps that would be too expensive or you would lose a lot of deposits on pre-orders or something.
