What to do if the 'Replace filter element' light is on in MTU 12V4000M93 Engine?
- J
  Jose SmithSep 2, 2025
  If the illuminated pushbutton “Replace filter element” is lit on your MTU Engine, it means the maximum permissible differential pressure of 1.5 bar was exceeded. If you don't replace the coalescer filter element, pressure will increase further and the safety valve will open, leading fuel via the bypass directly into the overflow tank. To resolve this: * Replace the coalescer filter element. * Press the illuminated pushbutton “Replace filter element” to acknowledge.
