What to do if MTU Engine does not turn when starter is actuated?
If the MTU Engine doesn't turn when you try to start it, the battery might be flat or faulty. In this case, charge or replace the battery. Also, check if the cable connections on the battery are properly secured. Loose plug connections at the engine/generator control system or at the engine governor may also be the reason. Perform a visual inspection to check them.
What to do if MTU 12V2000G65 turns but does not fire?
If the MTU Engine turns but doesn't start, it could be due to poor rotation by the starter because the battery is flat or faulty, so charge or replace the battery. Another potential cause is air in the fuel system, which requires venting the fuel system.
Why MTU 12V2000G65 produces black exhaust gas?
Black exhaust gas from the MTU Engine can be caused by a clogged air filter, so check the signal ring position of the contamination indicator. Other potential causes include a faulty injector or injection pump.
Why MTU 12V2000G65 Engine fires unevenly?
If the MTU Engine is firing unevenly, it might be due to a faulty injector. Also, air in the fuel system can cause this issue, so vent the fuel system.
Why MTU 12V2000G65 speed is not steady?
If the MTU Engine speed is not steady, it might be due to air in the fuel system, so vent the fuel system.
What to do if MTU Engine does not reach rated speed?
If the MTU Engine does not reach its rated speed, it could be due to a clogged fuel prefilter, so replace the filter element. Another reason may be a clogged easy-change fuel filter, so replace it. It also can be caused by a clogged air filter, so check the signal ring position of the contamination indicator.
Why MTU 12V2000G65 produces white exhaust gas?
White exhaust gas from the MTU Engine can be caused by the engine not being at its operating temperature, so run the engine to reach operating temperature. Another potential cause is water in the fuel. Check the fuel system at the fuel prefilter and drain water from the fuel prefilter.
Why charge-air temperature is too high in MTU 12V2000G65?
If the charge-air temperature is too high in the MTU Engine, check the engine coolant concentration using the MTU test kit. Also, check the fans and air supply/ventilation ducts, because air inlet temperature in the engine room may be too high.
Why MTU Engine produces blue exhaust gas?
If you see blue exhaust gas from the MTU Engine, it could mean there's too much engine oil in the engine, so drain some engine oil. Another cause might be a contaminated oil separator of the crankcase breather, so replace it.
Why charge-air pressure is too low in MTU 12V2000G65?
If the charge-air pressure is too low in the MTU Engine, it might be because the air filter is clogged. In this case, check the signal ring position of the contamination indicator.
