Air Scoops + kenlowe fan system

MeatCleaverX86 · Feb 5, 2007

Hey

air scoops do they really help with the heater / fan or is it just a nice way of filling the hard to clean places with more mud ?

also how hard is it to fit a fan system to a 300tdi and what extras / other parts do i need to change.

GRUNT · Feb 5, 2007

Yes.
Dunno.

fitting a kenlowe is a piece of ****, all the bits come with the kit and you only need to remove the viscous fan and cowling

hello

i have fitted some air scoops look good and help a bit had to use 2 mouse mats to make a gaskget to go between cheq plate and scoop to fill the gaps but looks good.

not brave enough for the fan yet !

Is this a scoop to force more air into the heater fan to get hotter air or more air, or even both? I ask because I read that the wing top scoop 'rams air through the heater and improves the heating', just wanted to make sure it works before I buy!

it helps push more air in when the fan is off i wouldnt say it is warmer my scoops are only half the hight of the regular ones look good and they do work i can only imagine full height scoops work even better

The wonders of ebay eh!

Griffdowg · Feb 27, 2007

wonders indeed... my net pockets for cubby boxes just sold for £41!

Ha ha, was waiting fer you to jump in on this one Griff'.

& for what it's worth, the scoops are close to pointless & if you climb up on yer bonnet & wings a few times, you'll probably either trip over the scoops or crush them with yer feet.

Kenlowe's are a doddle, but read the fred on here about removing the viscous fan first cuz it can be a pig.

Actually, take that back.

If you fit the heater intake scoop backwards it might actually serve a purpose & keep some of the crud & water out of the intake pipe so the drian hole didn't silt up & in turn water wouldn't be driven into yer heater rendering it broked and useless.

They wouldn't look so 'cool' though.

quick aint i? yes, watch you dont trip over them. ive nearly done so several times! also makes working over the wings/side of engine bay rather uncomfortable.

i looked at the LRX intakes at donnington cos they are lower profile, i thought i would replace mine with them... guess how much?

£60+VAT!

ofcoarse i walked away! rediculous.
