What to do if MTU Engine does not turn when starter is actuated?
If your MTU Engine does not turn when the starter is actuated, the possible causes include a discharged or faulty battery, faulty cable connections, faulty engine cabling or starter, loose assemblies or plug connectors, or a blocked running gear. Charge or replace the battery. Check if cable connections are properly secured. Perform a visual inspection and check plug connections.
What does it mean when the warning filter light is on in my MTU 8 V 4000 M40A?
If the signal lamp “Warning filter” is lit on your MTU Engine, the differential pressure has exceeded 1.3 bar. Replace the coalescer filter element.
Why is the charge-air temperature too high in my MTU Engine?
If the charge-air temperature is too high in your MTU Engine, it could be due to incorrect engine coolant treatment, contaminated fans and air supply/ventilation ducts, or a high air-intake temperature.
