  If the MTU Engine doesn't turn when the starter is activated, there could be several reasons. The battery might be low or defective, in which case you should charge or replace it, referring to the manufacturer's documentation for guidance. Also, check the cable connections to ensure they are properly secured, again consulting the manufacturer's documentation. If the issue persists, the engine wiring or starter itself may be defective, requiring a check of the cable connections or contacting service. Loose plug-in connections can also prevent the engine from turning, so inspect those as well. Finally, if the running gear is blocked and the engine cannot be barred manually, it's best to contact service.

Why MTU Engine does not reach nominal speed?
- D
  danielharrisAug 6, 2025
  If the MTU Engine isn't reaching its nominal speed, the issue could stem from several factors related to fuel supply. First, ensure that the fuel supply isn't shut off; open the shut-off valve before the fuel prefilter completely. Other potential causes include a clogged fuel prefilter or a clogged easy-change fuel filter. Furthermore, a defective injector or injection pump could be the culprit. If these steps don't resolve the issue, there may be an overload, in which case it is best to contact service.

  To address a high charge-air temperature in the MTU Engine, start by checking the coolant concentration using an MTU test kit. Also, verify the air-intake temperature by checking the fans and the air supply/ventilation ducts. If the issue persists, it may be contaminated, in which case it is best to contact service.

Why is the exhaust gas blue on MTU Detroit Diesel 12 V 2000 P62?
- J
  James GreenSep 12, 2025
  Blue exhaust gas from the MTU Engine can be due to several reasons: * Too much oil in the engine, in which case you should drain some engine oil. * A clogged oil separator or oil preseparator of the crankcase breather, requiring replacement. If neither of these resolves the issue, it could be a different problem, in which case it is best to contact service.

  Brittany CarterAug 23, 2025
  White exhaust gas from the MTU Engine can occur if the engine is not at operating temperature; run the engine until it reaches operating temperature. Another cause could be water in the fuel; check the fuel system on the fuel prefilter and drain the fuel prefilter. If the issue persists, there may be a leak, in which case it is best to contact service.
