Oil filter Hengst or OEM Volkswagen

Tiguan owners, I can tell you from experience that you don't need to go under the car to install this! You have to reach for the boost sensor but everything can be done from up top!

I have several VAG cars and perform changes at 5k, Liquimoly kits from FCP Euro, always use a quality OE filter such as Hengst, save your records and any reasonable buyer will understand.

First of all, change the brand of the oil filter and do the same test again. My recommendation is Hengst filters, same quality with Mann and Bosch, made in the same factory in Slovakia.

Crushed filter seen here as well, with low oil pressure light randomly firing at idle. Factory filter is only a couple bucks more (that\u2019s what went in yesterday) - problem solved!

I have had good results with the Hengst. Recently ran a Hengst to 20,000 miles. It’s was a bit crispy but was doing just fine.

I Use them for 10k oil changes for my wifes jetta ...good filter.....I buy 10 at a time......

VW Touareg V6 roughly $600 at an independent euro mechanic for regular service

Das original VW öl bekommst du für 10€/l auf ebay und den ölfilter wahrscheinlich für um die 10€.

I worked on a 2.5L 4 cylinder Passat not too long ago and the drain plug was a nightmare to get off, the oil filter needed a special socket- it was like a 32mm internal hex- I needed to borrow from a master tech

I've just experienced this same problem with my 2017 Buick. I have the UFI cap and the dealers used the Hengst filter 7 of the 9 times I had it changed at the dealer. Using a Hengst filter in the UFI cap results in the oil bypassing the oil filter all the time. The UFI cap expects the bypass valve to be on the filter and the Hengst filter just has an open hole there resulting in the car being run for about 50,000 of its 70,000 mile life WITHOUT an oil filter.
