Used Truck Filters – Air, Fuel, Oil & Hydraulic

Filters are critical to keeping a modern heavy truck reliable and efficient. Engine air, fuel and oil filters protect the engine from dust, water and metal particles, while hydraulic, coolant and cabin filters look after the rest of the vehicle’s systems and the driver’s working environment. In this category you’ll find tested used OEM truck filters and filter housings removed from late-model European vehicles in our UK breaker yard and listed with clear photos and honest descriptions.

What truck filters we stock

Our stock in the Filters category will grow as we dismantle more donor trucks, but typical items are likely to include:

• engine air filter housings and related ducting that feed clean air to the intake system;
• fuel filter heads and filter housings for diesel engines, including units with integrated water separators;
• engine oil filter housings, filter heads and cooler modules where suitable for reuse;
• hydraulic filter housings and strainers for PTO-driven hydraulic systems, cranes and tippers;
• coolant filter housings and fittings on vehicles where the cooling system uses auxiliary filtration;
• cabin air filter housings and covers that help keep dust and pollen out of the driver’s cab.

Disposable filter elements are normally replaced with new parts during service, but reusable housings, heads, brackets and associated pipework can often be sourced more economically from a breaker than buying complete assemblies from the dealer.

Truck brands & typical applications

Most of the filter-related components we handle come from mainstream European heavy trucks such as Volvo FH/FM, MAN TGX/TGS, DAF XF/XG, Scania R/S and Mercedes-Benz Actros, Arocs and Atego. VRA Truckparts focuses on modern Euro 5–Euro 6 donor vehicles sourced in the UK and dismantled at our yard in Stanford-le-Hope, Essex, supplying tested used OEM spares across engines, exhaust & emissions, cooling systems and chassis components.

Typical applications include repairing damaged filter housings after accident or corrosion, swapping leaking fuel filter heads, replacing cracked air filter boxes or coolant filter mounts, and sourcing complete assemblies for conversions and engine swaps. For workshops and fleet operators this gives an affordable way to keep trucks in service without compromising on OEM quality.

Tested used OEM filter housings & components

Before any filter-related component is added to stock, it is removed carefully during our structured dismantling process. Housings and heads are inspected for cracks, stripped threads and warped sealing faces; plastic parts are checked for UV damage and impact marks; mounting brackets and fittings are examined for corrosion and distortion. Only parts that pass our visual checks are listed for sale – items that clearly fall below our standards are set aside rather than shipped to a customer.

Because every part comes from trucks we dismantle ourselves, we can usually provide donor details such as make, model, engine type and Euro class, along with OEM part numbers from the castings and labels shown in the photos. This level of detail helps workshops and fleet managers match the correct components to their vehicles and reduce the risk of ordering the wrong filter housing or mounting kit.

Shipping, returns and checking compatibility

Filter housings, heads and associated pipework are packed carefully and shipped quickly from our Essex yard with tracked delivery options across the UK and EU. Most orders include a 30-day returns period so you can fit and test the part on the vehicle with confidence.

If you are unsure whether a particular air, fuel, oil, hydraulic, coolant or cabin filter housing will fit your truck, contact VRA Truckparts with your registration, VIN and photos or numbers from your existing unit. Our team will help you confirm compatibility or suggest suitable alternatives within the Filters range. You can also browse the Trucks We Dismantle page to see the donor vehicles your filter components come from and to source other matching parts from the same trucks.
