Safari snorkel 200tdi, have they sent me the wrong one?

<< < (2/2)

Wanderer:
I must have had an earlier version because mine only had the 200tdi bits.
Maybe they've done this to make it easier at the point of sale so that they aren't having to hold one for a V8 and one for tdi in stock at the same time.
I can't think where a curved pipe would come into use on a 200 though.
There is a curved s type pipe on a 300tdi which is more difficult to fit than the 200.

When fitting measure mark then measure again and check again. Plenty of masking tape around where you are working and Bob's your uncle.

Thanks a lot guys,
                            Will be fitting it this weekend, if its not pi**ing down with rain :(
cheers fram.

When I fitted mine many moons ago, I didn't have anything left over, and it fitted fine.  Maybe they've amalgamated two kits.

Hi,

Mine came from Paddocks a couple of weeks ago (H Reg 200Tdi) and I fitted it last weekend. It went together OK but I had to grind the inlet to the air filter quite a bit to get it to fit flush and mine had the S shaped rubber pipe which I had to cut to fit between the filter canister and snorkel. I only needed about 4" of the pipe.

Couple of other thoughts, you will need some silcone sealer and possibly some new clips for the inner plastic wheel arch. Mine didn't want to come off easily.

P.s. it started Pi@$&ng down with rain as soon as I had reached the point of no return so be prepared with a plastic sheet and some poles to make a tent!

P.p.s. It's worth it in the end!

fram:
Thanks for that, I will have a grinder handy!!
Also how did you seal up the 'dump valve ' bit, do you just silicone it together with maybe a jubilee clip?
