Diy snorkal - Page 2

My insurance concerns are the extra charges for any 'modifications' no matter how sensible they may be. I wouldn't expect to be able to claim for stupidly driving through exceptionally deep water anyway.

Certainly agree they make sense - did wonder about the exhaust, I realise that while engine is running the exhaust will be pushing out the water, but what if you stall or something? isn't that likely to duff up the innards too?

You carnt claim for stupidity Buzz. If you daft enough to go through a river and fook the engine, no insurance company is going to replace it.

No point in you having one anyway because
A, you would have to cut the body
B, you wouldnt want it getting wet and
C, your a tight arse.

Makes no difference if DIY or not. All you say to them is you have put a snorkel on.

You do not try and start it again in water! Get a friend to pull you out. Then check if you have water in the airbox (could even happen with a snorkel). If not then just let the water come out of the exhaust with gravity.

Cheers Fez, wasn't sure if there was a risk of H2O getting into dangerous territory when the engine was off.
