Michelle LeeAug 14, 2025
If the MTU Engine fails to turn on when starting, several factors could be at play. It could be due to a low or faulty battery/UltraCaps, in which case you should charge or replace them. Alternatively, check the cable connections to ensure they are securely seated. Visually inspect the engine cabling for any defects. Also, check plug-in connections of engine / generator control assemblies for looseness.

If the MTU Engine turns on but doesn't fire, it might be too cold, so preheat it to 40 °C. Another cause may be poor rotation by the starter due to a low or faulty battery/UltraCaps, so charge or replace the battery/UltraCaps. Also, there may be air in the fuel system, so vent the fuel system.

Laura WilsonAug 27, 2025
If the charge-air temperature is too high in your MTU Engine, it might be due to an incorrect coolant concentration, so check it. Also check fans and air supply/exhaust ducts if the engine room air-intake temperature is too high.

L
Laura JonesSep 3, 2025
If the MTU Engine is emitting blue exhaust gas, it could be due to too much engine oil, so drain some engine oil. Another potential cause is a contaminated oil separator of the crankcase breather, so replace the filter.

What causes white exhaust gas in MTU 12 V 4000 T95 Engine?
W
Wayne ParkerSep 7, 2025
If the MTU Engine is emitting white exhaust gas, the engine might not be at operating temperature, so preheat/run it up to operating temperature. It could also be due to water in the fuel, so check the fuel system at the fuel prefilter and drain water from fuel prefilter if the intercooler is leaky.
