How To: 200-series snorkel install
Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2014 1:42 pm
Hi all,
Better late than never, the Safari snorkel install for the 200 is now up. The installation only took a few hours and could easily be completed by someone with moderate mechanical knowledge and equipment.
In the month since the installation was completed, I've noticed an average fuel consumption improvement of about 0.3L/100km, no doubt due to the cooler (and slightly pressurised) air supply from the snorkel. So even if you don't plan to attempt deep water crossings, there is certainly an advantage to having a snorkel fitted.

Any questions, please let me know.
