What to do if my MTU 12V4000T94 does not turn when starter is actuated?
If your MTU Engine doesn't turn over when starting, first ensure the battery/UltraCaps are adequately charged. If they are low or faulty, charge or replace them. Then, check the cable connections to ensure they are securely seated. Also inspect the engine cabling for defects.
What to do if MTU 12V4000T94 Engine turns on starting but does not fire?
If the MTU Engine turns on starting but does not fire, preheat it to 40 °C if it is too cold. Also, check the battery/UltraCaps and charge or replace them if they are low or faulty. Vent the fuel system to remove any air.
How to troubleshoot MTU 12V4000T94 that does not reach nominal speed?
If your MTU Engine is not reaching its nominal speed, start by replacing the clogged fuel prefilter, fuel filter, and additional fuel filter. Also, check the air filter and replace it if necessary.
What to do if MTU Engine produces blue exhaust gas?
If you observe blue exhaust gas from your MTU Engine, it could be due to too much engine oil. In this case, drain some engine oil. Another possible cause is a contaminated oil separator of the crankcase breather, so replace the filter.
Why MTU Engine produces white exhaust gas?
If your MTU Engine is producing white exhaust gas, it might not be at operating temperature; preheat or run it up to operating temperature. Another possible cause is water in the fuel, so check the fuel system at the fuel prefilter.
How to lower charge-air temperature in MTU 12V4000T94?
If the charge-air temperature of your MTU Engine is too high, check the coolant concentration. Also, check the fans and air supply/exhaust ducts in the engine room to ensure the air-intake temperature is not too high.
