Münster. Hengst Filtration is consistently expanding its portfolio in the independent aftermarket and is adding two new product groups to its range: Cylinder head covers and intake manifold modules. The new solutions are now available to wholesalers and independent garages in reliable Hengst OEM quality. With this expansion of the product range, Hengst provides independent garages and wholesalers with complete, ready-to-fit system solutions in OE quality.
Continuous expansion of the aftermarket portfolio
Hengst has been successfully establishing new product groups in the aftermarketsince 2023 . It started with transmission oil pans and Crankcase Ventilation, followed by oil change kitsand Oil filter modules. The company is now continuing along this path with the new cylinder head covers and intake manifold modules.
We are gradually transferring our many years of OE expertise to the independent aftermarket. In this way, Hengst is also demonstrating its expertise in the aftermarket beyond the classic filter products and is expanding it in a targeted manner. Our aim is to offer the market complete, ready-to-fit solutions that simplify repairs and prevent consequential damage.

Cylinder head covers: complete replacement instead of individual repairs
Today, cylinder head covers are more than just covers for the cylinder head. In addition to sealing, they often integrate functions such as integrated ventilation systems or camshaft sensors. Accordingly, material fatigue, leaks or defects in integrated components have an effect not only locally, but on the entire engine system. In practice, this damage often manifests itself in the form of oil loss, air leakage or unstable engine running. Simply replacing the gasket often only remedies the causes in the short term.
Hengst therefore offers cylinder head covers as fully pre-assembled replacement solutions that include all functionally relevant components. The initial range comprises 22 items for Passenger cars applications and is being continuously expanded. Many versions have integrated oil mist separators. A component that can have a considerable influence on pressure conditions and tightness in the engine in the event of wear or malfunction. By replacing the entire system, consequential damage can be avoided and repeated visits to the workshop reduced. The program already covers over 2,000 European vehicle models.
Intake manifold modules: System component with high damage potential
Intake manifold modules form the central interface between the intake air duct, throttle valve and exhaust gas recirculation. In modern engines, they are designed as a functional unit with swirl flaps, actuators and sensors. Deposits caused by EGR recirculation, wear on the flap mechanism or leaks in the plastic housing often lead to incorrect air flow, loss of power or error messages in the engine management system. Individual repair attempts quickly reach their limits, as defects are rarely limited to an isolated component.
Hengst therefore offers intake manifold modules as a complete, ready-to-fit service part solution in OEM quality, which enables simple stock-keeping and fast repairs. Replacing the entire assembly ensures that all functionally relevant components work together reliably again and consequential damage is avoided. The initial range comprises 19 intake manifold modules for Passenger cars applications and is being continuously expanded. The range already covers more than 1,000 European vehicle models and supports garages in carrying out sustainable and economical repairs.
