hi folks, I currently have a southdown snorkel on my 300tdi going straight to turbo with no airbox, I want to fit a safari snorkel but do I need an airbox to do the job properly?

as im worried the pipe work may fowl on the 2nd battery

cheers

Thanks Rob. Does the front opening on the airbox not let water in?

If u buy the proper snorkel and kit then a blank is provided to fit over this.

It's difficult to tell in the picture but the original front opening has a blanking plug in. The air box is fed through the black tube on the right.

Thank you. So I assume a new opening has to be made in the side of the O/e airbox?

Yes. Have a look at Part No 20.

I see. So it actually pays to get a genuine safari snorkel.

Thank you for your replies.

That's what I'd do. Best looking snorkel too.

I would stop using it till you have an airbox/filter fitted. Just think back to the last air filter you changed. Imagine all that crap from the filter inside your engine :screaming_bug_eye_f

There is an air filter on top of the Southdown snorkel bud.

Has your 300tdi got abs ?

AJC · Nov 28, 2013

I've looked on the inner wing & there's nothing there so it hasn't
