That filter is just not right. Get an OEM filter. Hengst E300H D28

Hengst is pretty good, but for cabin filter i noticed that the change interval is more important than the filter itself.
Haven’t had any issues with Hengst
Been driving these cars for almost 20 years and have yet to find a compelling reason to not use Mann or Mahle filters for everything, at times a Hengst here and there. Not one quality issue yet.
The OEM filter is made by HENGST and is perfectly fine to use and doesn't cause oil pressure issues.
The HENGST (HFE615L01) air filter has an extra filtering layer.
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!
replaced the original filter in a 2000 540i with 150k miles with a Hengst, no difference in performance whatsoever, but i feel better
But I've seen this too, with the genuine Hengst filters
Well- the valve cover is FULL of sludge! It was good I ordered a new valve cover because I had to cut the sealed area behind the valve on this one for self-discovery...there's no way I would have been able to clean it without a bucket full of degreaser...
