    Why does my MTU 12V 2000 C66 Engine fire unevenly?
    • J
      Jeremy DavisAug 21, 2025
      If the MTU Engine fires unevenly, it might be due to a faulty injector, which needs replacement. Another cause could be air in the fuel system, especially after filling, in which case you should vent the fuel system. If these steps don't resolve the issue, contact Service.

      Crystal WolfeAug 25, 2025
      If the MTU Engine turns but does not fire, try charging or replacing the battery if it's low or faulty. If the issue arises after filling the system, there might be air in the fuel system, requiring you to vent it. For other issues, further checking may be needed. If problems persist, contact Service.

    Why MTU Engine does not reach rated speed?
    • J
      Jimmy TaylorAug 26, 2025
      If the MTU Engine does not reach rated speed, it could be due to a clogged fuel prefilter (if fitted), requiring you to clean the filter element. Alternatively, the fuel filter or air filter might be clogged, needing replacement. A faulty injector could also be the cause, and would need replacement. If none of these resolve the issue, contact Service.

    Why charge-air temperature is too high in MTU 12V 2000 C66 Engine?
    • P
      Penny CookSep 2, 2025
      If the charge-air temperature is too high in your MTU Engine, check the engine coolant treatment using an MTU test kit. Also, check the fan and air inlet/outlet ducts, as a high air-intake temperature could be the cause. If the issue persists or there is contamination, contact Service.

    • T
      Tim CookSep 4, 2025
      If you notice blue exhaust gas coming from the MTU Engine, it could be due to too much oil in the engine, requiring you to drain some oil. Another possibility is a clogged oil mist fine separator of the crankcase breather, which should be replaced. If neither of these resolves the issue, contact Service.

    How to troubleshoot white exhaust gas from MTU Engine?
    • S
      steve83Sep 9, 2025
      If you observe white exhaust gas from the MTU Engine, it might be because the engine is not at its operating temperature; allow the engine to run until it reaches the correct temperature. Another cause could be water in the fuel, so check the fuel system at the fuel prefilter and drain the fuel prefilter if there's leakage.
