Why MTU 12 V 2000 P12 does not turn when starter is actuated?
If the MTU Engine doesn't turn when the starter is activated, possible causes include a flat or defective battery (charge or replace it), faulty cable connections (check if they are properly secured), engine wiring or starter issues (check cable connections), unavailable starting-air pressure (check connections and pressure), or loose plug-in connections (check connections).
Why MTU 12 V 2000 P12 turns but does not fire?
If the MTU Engine turns but doesn't fire, it could be due to poor rotation by the starter because of a flat or defective battery (charge or replace the battery) or air in the fuel system.
What causes black exhaust gas from MTU 12 V 2000 P12?
Black exhaust gas from the MTU Engine can be caused by a clogged air filter (check the contamination indicator), a faulty injector, a defective injection pump, or the engine being overloaded.
Why MTU 12 V 2000 P12 speed not steady?
An unsteady MTU Engine speed can be attributed to a faulty injector, a defective injection pump, or air in the fuel system.
What causes white exhaust gas from MTU Engine?
White exhaust gas from the MTU Engine may be caused by the engine not being at operating temperature (run engine to reach operating temperature) or water in the fuel (check fuel system at fuel prefilter).
What causes blue exhaust gas from MTU 12 V 2000 P12 Engine?
Blue exhaust gas from the MTU Engine can be caused by the engine oil level being too high (drain engine oil) or the oil separator/pre-separator of the crankcase breather being clogged (replace it).
What causes MTU 12 V 2000 P12 to fire unevenly?
An MTU Engine firing unevenly may be due to a faulty injector, a defective injection pump, or air in the fuel system.
What causes charge-air temperature too high in MTU Engine?
If the charge-air temperature is too high in the MTU Engine, it could be due to incorrect engine coolant treatment or contamination. Check the fan and air inlet/outlet ducts.
What causes charge-air pressure too low in MTU Engine?
Low charge-air pressure in the MTU Engine can be caused by a clogged air filter (check the contamination indicator).
