Used Truck Air Filter Housings, Air Cleaner Boxes & Intake Pipes

Used truck air filter housings, air cleaner boxes & intake pipes

Air cleaners on a heavy truck do much more than just hold a paper element. The air filter housing and intake pipes guide intake air from the snorkel to the turbocharger, protect the primary filter element from water and debris and reduce intake noise. On modern European HGVs these parts are designed specifically for each chassis and engine, with shaped housings, brackets and intake pipes that fit tightly around the frame and cab.

In this category we offer used OEM air filter housings, air cleaner boxes and intake pipes removed from complete donor trucks. Typical examples include chassis-mounted air filter housings for Volvo FH4/FM4 Euro 6 and DAF XF105/XF106 Euro 5/6, plus lower air intake pipes that connect the housing to the front snorkel or intake duct.

What you will find in the Air Cleaners category

Stock in the Air Cleaners category changes as new donor vehicles arrive, but it typically includes:

• complete air filter housings / air cleaner boxes with covers, clips and mounting brackets;
• chassis-mounted air cleaner assemblies for long-haul tractors and rigids;
• air intake pipes and lower inlet pipes between the snorkel and the housing;
• air ducts and elbows that route filtered air from the housing to the turbocharger or intake manifold;
• selected mounting hardware and brackets supplied where they remain attached to the housing or pipe.

Each listing includes clear photos, OE/OEM part numbers where available and donor vehicle details, so you can compare housing shape, outlet orientation, mounting points and connection size with the air cleaner assembly fitted to your own truck.

Truck brands & typical applications

Most air cleaners in this category are taken from mainstream European heavy trucks, including:

• Volvo FH and FM series, such as FH4/FM4 Euro 6 with chassis-mounted air filter housings;
• DAF XF and CF series, including XF105 and XF106 Euro 5/6 air cleaner boxes and intake pipes;
• other makes such as MAN, Mercedes-Benz Actros, Scania and Iveco when suitable donor trucks are available.

Because these are genuine OEM parts removed from complete vehicles, each air cleaner housing is normally tied to a specific cab type, chassis layout, engine family and Euro emission class. This is important for correct fitment and reliable airflow to the engine.

Why air filter housings & intake pipes matter

A correctly matched air cleaner assembly is essential for a working HGV:

• Engine protection – a sealed housing and correctly routed intake pipe keep dust, water and debris away from the filter element and turbocharger;
• Airflow & performance – properly sized air cleaner boxes and pipes maintain sufficient flow, helping the engine deliver its rated power and torque;
• Noise control – OEM air cleaners are designed to reduce intake noise while maintaining performance;
• Serviceability – correctly designed housings make filter changes easier and help ensure the cover seals properly after service.

Typical reasons to replace an air cleaner housing or intake pipe

Customers usually visit this category when:

• air filter housing is cracked or broken due to impact, incorrect lifting or previous repairs;
• mounting brackets are damaged or corroded so the air cleaner no longer sits securely on the chassis;
• intake pipes are split, worn or missing, causing unfiltered or reduced airflow to the engine;
• water or dust ingress has been traced to a damaged air cleaner box or seal face;
• a non-original or modified setup is being replaced with the correct OEM air filter housing and pipes for the truck model.

How to choose the correct truck air cleaner assembly

To minimise fitting issues and ensure the right airflow, please check the following details before ordering:

• truck brand, model and generation – for example DAF XF105/XF106, Volvo FH4/FM4;
• engine type and emission class – layouts can differ between Euro 5 and Euro 6 versions even on the same model line;
• cab type and chassis configuration – wheelbase, fuel and AdBlue tank layout and battery position can influence air cleaner design;
• housing design and outlet position – shape of the box, position of inlet and outlet connections and type of cover/fixing;
• intake pipe routing – length, bends and diameter of the pipe between snorkel, air cleaner box and turbocharger inlet;
• OEM part numbers moulded or printed on your existing housing or pipes, matched against the references shown in the product description.

If you are unsure, you can contact us with your VIN or registration number and clear photos of your existing air cleaner, intake pipes and mounting area. Our team can help confirm compatibility before you place an order. For general guidance, see How to Find the Right Part and Compatibility & VIN Policy.

Used OEM air cleaners from dismantled trucks

VRA Truckparts specialises in used OEM truck parts sourced from carefully selected donor vehicles. From our dismantling yard in Essex we strip modern European trucks, clean and inspect components and list the exact parts you see in the photos with honest condition notes.

During dismantling, our technicians remove air filter housings and intake pipes, check them for cracks, broken brackets and heavy internal contamination, and reject parts that do not meet our standards. Usable housings and pipes are cleaned externally, labelled with OEM references where available and stored under cover in our warehouse ready for dispatch. To learn more about how we work, please visit Our Dismantling & Quality Process, Warranty & Part Condition and Trucks We Dismantle.

Delivery, payment & returns

Most air filter housings and intake pipes can be shipped as well-packed parcels or palletised items with tracked delivery across the UK and EU. For details of available services, transit times and costs, please see our Delivery & Shipping page.

Information about payment methods, VAT handling and returns is available on Payment & VAT and Returns & Refunds. If you need to combine air cleaners with sensors, manifolds or other engine components for the same vehicle, our team will be happy to help you build a complete order.
