sealing 300 series airbox?????

<< < (2/3) > >>

extreme90:
adam seal it all with silicone, let it set and stike the old girl up
put your hand over the top of the intake and the engine should stall
if it does, its wetproof  :)
and now you have no reason not to get into the coffin end o month

the main part people forget when making a deep breather for a 300tdi is the old wd40 cap to cover the airbox drain hole stick this in with silicone

I have tried this trick with my hand and unexpectantly with my air filter being well blocked up too! My disco never stalled though but the revs did drop off alot.

I have submerged my engine under silly depths of water and seems to be fine. When my hand grows bigger it might have more effect at stalling it as covering bigger area of the snorkel top!!! :lol:

Steve ray:
Yep - best way to test a snorkel ...... put your hand over the top. If it stalls, then the seal is good (jsut need big mits like me :D )

extreme90:
youve got a leak then
if its a tdi, i derv relys on air, if your cut its supply it will stop, but itll run(rubbishly) with a very limited amount,
the water dump provids just enough air to keep it running

however going in deep water and getting stuck in deep water is a different matter  :wink:
go get stuck in water over the bonnet at rest, and ill give it 5 mins before it has no throttle response
then 6 mins before its silent
