Common Replacement Parts for MTU 1163 Engines

We supply genuine original spare parts for the full 1163 series, including:

Crankcase & Structural Components

The crankcase assembly is the foundation of the engine. Common parts include the crankcase itself (OEM 5840101408), guide tubes (5840100066) and sealing components. These parts are usually replaced during major overhauls.

Oil Suction Pipe Systems

Oil suction pipes (5841800551, 5841800451) deliver lubricating oil from the sump to the pump, together with pipe half-clamps and O-rings. Damaged pipes cause pressure loss and should be replaced at the first sign of wear.

Sealing Rings & Gaskets

Sealing rings (5800151160) and gaskets prevent oil and coolant leaks at pipe and flange connections. Always replace seals with new parts during service to avoid repeat failures.
