Ordered my first Hengst filter two days ago.. My usual source used to sell Mann but for some reason, the quality of parts offered has dropped drastically!! So I switched to another vendor and the lowest priced filter offered is Hengst and with the research I did was up to muster!! Can't wait to do my oil change this weekend!!
Never a disappointing video from Jamie. Super cool hopefully they can make filters for electric vehicle drivetrains as well so they don't go under when these cars ICE cars are no longer able to be sold as new in Germany.
super cool I wish I was able to go and visit this plant with you. we use a lot hot HENGST filter and replacement parts we also use Mann and Bosch filter in my Europen repair shop
In my VW 2.5 07k, their oil filters collapse on me and the orings leak oil from the housing. I’ve never had issues with MANN filters. Maybe it’s just this application. 🤷♂️
This is great for the actual company factory he is showing here.. but what they don't show you are the half azz contractor facilities, like for example in Mexico that make the Hengst for Honda etc... those are lower end QC for sure if you have ever seen them opened up.
Don't be fooled. OE Hengst ≠ afterm. Hengst ! Selling failed (per manufacturer specs.) filter without warning on the aftermarket is a good way to save some money on thoose rejection rates. Also rejected ones aren't crushed or something they have near invisible default you wont spot then assuming "oh it's the same, made in the same exact factory". Ask you the question. If hengst sold the exact same filter per manufacturer specifications why they wouldn't have wrote it on the box ? "Same as manufacturer spec. lineup". Of course they would of tell it's massive selling point/advantage ! They are simply not the same. Reason they're playing ambiguous by their branding blinding the lines between OE and OEM...
The last 3x OE filters I bought for my car - from the main dealer - were made in different countries and had slightly different fonts/layouts. An automotive company often carries several suppliers to keep them competitive and ensure consistency of supply As for Hengst (Mann, Bosch etc) selling below par products in their own packaging... makes no sense. If anything I'd expect those to be better quality.

very cool Mr. Orr. Thank you for the look inside the factory, jealous of the experiences you have!

I had already come to the conclusion that the Hengst filters are the best. After seeing this, I am now even more impressed with their products 🙌
Our '17 Tiguan Wolfsburg gets Liqui Moly oil and a Hengst filter every time. 👍
Love the nerdiness, obviously 😊 Glad that we are more nerds out there! Greetings from Sthlm Sweden.
I really enjoyed nerding out - and watching you nerd out - on filters, thanks for making this, Jamie. Keep up the awesome work!
Awesome, don't know how many filters I've put on over the years, nice to know where they came from.👍
Love your detailed adventures Jamie...makes me look forward to wanting to use their products on my next services.
We were nerding out with you during this tour. When they're all finished with that robotic arm and band saw we could put that thing to work!
Thank you for sharing this with us! Have fun & stay safe. Great video as always.
Another great adventure! Soooo geeky = soooo awesome. Well done!!!
So much German machine goodness loaded with products from my former companies all of whom are near Münster.
I love these videos! This is totally the kind of thing I'd do on a day-off (& would love to do with Jamie)!

Chevy uses Hengst filters and housings.
Hey, my 40 plus year old Panasonic vacuum cleaner has one of those knobs that vibrates/knocks dust off the filter.
Now just imagine you're in 1990. :)
Is it works for my touareg 2016 ?? I found it in kuwait but wrote made in poland
Anyone know the filtering efficiency? Did I miss that?
Did you work for VW at one point?
Hengst never fits my car :/ Either I have 3 defective Hengst filters or ECS/FCP mislabeled what filter fits my Mk6 R
What happens to the failed qc oe filters?
They inspect and sell most of them on the aftermarket
Doesn’t VOLKSWAGEN also use MANN filters or have they switched to HENGST
Both
Dang Germany is super advanced...
"Wild" count: +500
I actually buy that brand from my 1993 W124 400E
I run Mann
