Our take on the Hengst Oil Filter

Hengst is a German OEM supplier, and this paper-element oil filter fits Audi and Volkswagen diesel cars from 2013 to 2016 with 1.9 TDI, 2.0 TDI and 2.5 TDI engines, including the A3 Sportback. It is a cartridge-style filter with a 72 mm diameter and 141 mm height, sold with seals and gaskets. Hengst filters are built to Euro specs and are known for clean filtration and good cold-start flow. It is a routine maintenance part, so the price matters less than getting the right fitment for your engine code.

Questions and answers

Is this filter worth it over a cheaper brand?
Yes, if you plan to keep the car. Hengst is an OEM supplier to VW Group, and the price gap over budget filters is small compared with the cost of an engine problem. Buy from a seller you trust to avoid counterfeits.
Will it fit my 2014 Audi A3 2.0 TDI?
It is listed for 2013–2016 Audi and VW cars with 1.9, 2.0 and 2.5 TDI engines, including the A3 Sportback. Check your engine code against the Hengst catalog before ordering, since fitment varies by engine.
What is in the box?
The filter element plus the seals and gaskets needed for the change. The filter housing and cap are not included.
How often should I change it?
Follow your car's service interval, typically every 10,000 to 15,000 miles or once a year on these TDI engines. Replace the seals at every change.
Is it hard to install?
No. It is a cartridge filter that sits in the housing, so you swap the element and O-rings rather than the whole canister. Torque the housing cap to spec and check for leaks after starting.
What do buyers say about the Hengst Oil Filter?
Rated 4.4 out of 5 from 60 ratings.
