DIRTY FROG "lives" yet again.....

Adz · 20-12-2010, 13:49

Well i'm amazed & had a ruddy lucky escape

The snorkel pipe inside the cab had pulled in the snow / ice / water & it had collected in my catch tank...

Blocked the intake hense thinking the turbo had gone bang

Disconnected from the turbo & away she went

So have my K&N Induction kit on now while the cold weather is here & will only reconnect the snorkel when doing water activities

So check your snorkel pipe work & filter box's
