  Robert NunezAug 19, 2025
  If the MTU Engine doesn't turn when the starter is activated, several issues could be the cause. It could be due to a low or faulty battery, in which case you should charge or replace it. Check for firm seating of cable connections. The engine cabling or starter might be faulty, so check cable connections and contact service. Also, check for loose plug connections on the Engine Control Unit or the Engine Interface Module (EIM). Inspect the fuse F1 in the engine wiring harness and replace it if necessary, then restart the system. If the engine is blocked, contact service.

  If the MTU Engine emits blue exhaust gas, there might be too much oil in the engine, so drain some engine oil. Another possible cause is a clogged oil separator or oil-preseparator of the crankcase breather, which would need replacement. In case of faulty exhaust turbocharger, cylinder head, piston rings, or cylinder liner contact service.
