That wading kit is all you need really, its nice and straight forward to do as well, I attached mine to the end of the current breathers after check the exsisting pipework for any wear.

I know a similar one has already been posted but this was my solution to an ABS snorkel with secondary battery fitted:

Managed to test the snorkel and breather kit at the weekend, as went on the Extreme off road course at the Bath & West showground - worked really well, so chuffed with my work

Well, finally got round to sorting out my air box, given the lack of room with fitting the second battery.

So got a forced cold air filter (as couldn't find any decent 200 air boxes) and went from this...

to this.....

Just need to get some steel tubing now to make the 'snorkel' part, and jobs a good one

Is this hose the same diameter as the southdown? 63mm?

I am not sure as never used that tube in the end, went to some 60 mm internal diameter ply as thats the size of the pipe i used (some spare after i did an exhaust) so never used the southdown part...just the mould on the wing.

This is the setup I now have...

Just had a look in my garage to see if I still had the old pipe, but can't see it, so will whip off the one that's on at the weekend and measure up the sizes for you.

I really like what you have there, and you have a nice little space for a 2nd battery
Is there a filter inside it then?

The diameter from the air filler is for piping with an ID of 76mm and the piping I used to the pipe work for the snorkel has an ID of 60mm

Hope that helps

Well, since I had the filter part to bits, thought I would tidy up the piping, so I went from this....

to being properly plumbed into the snorkel in the wing....

to this.....

Hi PS, that's a Mass Air Flow meter (MAF) and no, you don't have one on a manual gearbox TDi 300.
