I'm thinking about fitting a snorkel to my 300tdi 90.
I realise that this has been discussed before but it would help me and I hope others to have this topic discussed again with the latest experiences.
There are generally two major types of snorkel, the moulded plastic type and the round tube type. Is one type better than the other? opinions and experiences please.
Once the pipework is fitted there are two styles of top, the mushroom and scoop, are there advantages with one style or the other? again experiences and opinions please.
It occurs to me that the scoop type might scoop up rain and wet the filter element, is this the case?
Is there any evidence of a "ram air" effect with the scoop type?
Do snorkels of any type cause airflow issues due to the extra length of inlet pipework?
When fitting a snorkel are there any pitfalls to be aware of? please share your experiences.
Finally, does anyone have any other advice, funny stories, anecdotes, experiences or other information on suppliers etc that could be useful or amusing to the prospective snorkel fitter.
