What to do if the MTU Engine turns on starting but does not fire?
If the MTU Engine turns on starting but does not fire, possible causes include: * Poor rotation by the starter: Charge or replace the battery. * A low or defective battery. * Air in the fuel system: Vent the fuel system. * A defective engine governor: Contact Service.
What causes white exhaust gas from my MTU Engine?
White exhaust gas from the MTU Engine can be attributed to a few reasons: * The engine is not at operating temperature: Run the engine up to operating temperature. * Water in the fuel: Check the fuel system, especially at the fuel prefilter. Drain water and contaminants from the fuel prefilter. * A leaky intercooler: Contact Service.
What to do if my MTU Engine does not reach nominal speed?
If the MTU Engine does not reach its nominal speed, consider the following potential causes: * A clogged fuel prefilter: Replace the fuel prefilter. * A clogged fuel filter: Replace the fuel filter. * A clogged air filter: Check and replace the air filter if necessary. * A defective injector: Check and replace the injector if necessary. * Defective engine cabling. * Engine overload: Contact Service.
Why is the charge-air temperature too high in my MTU Engine?
A high charge-air temperature in the MTU Engine may be due to: * Incorrect coolant concentration: Check the coolant concentration. * A contaminated intercooler: Contact Service. * High air-intake temperature in the engine room: Check the fans and intake/exhaust lines.
Why is my MTU Engine firing unevenly?
Uneven firing in the MTU Engine can be caused by: * A defective injector: Check and replace if necessary. * Defective engine cabling. * Air in the fuel system: Vent the fuel system. * A defective engine governor: Contact Service.
Why is the charge-air pressure too low in my MTU Engine?
Low charge-air pressure in the MTU Engine could be due to: * A clogged air filter: Check and replace if necessary. * A contaminated intercooler: Contact Service. * A defective exhaust turbocharger: Contact Service.
What causes blue exhaust gas from my MTU Engine?
Blue exhaust gas from the MTU Engine may indicate: * Too much engine oil in the engine: Drain engine oil. * A contaminated oil separator of the crankcase breather: Replace the oil separator. * A defective exhaust turbocharger, cylinder head, piston rings, or cylinder liner: Contact Service.
What does it mean if coolant discharges at the intercooler of my MTU Engine?
Coolant discharge at the intercooler, especially a major discharge, suggests that the intercooler is leaking. Contact Service.
