I understand there might be a reason why this isn't a good idea, but have seen someone do this and wondered other views.
I'm looking at fitting a wading kit to my 300 tdi, it already has a snorkel that goes into the air box.
At a resent show someone had the wading kit go into the air box instead of a pipe going up the side of the snorkel, under a view that the snorkel is sealed, so the air can come in through this, and they haven't had any issues.
This certainly looks better, as there isn't any extra tubes outside, but would the vacuum the the engine sucking create any issue by sucking on the wading tube ?
I hope this makes sense, and would appreciate other views.
Thanks
