Thread: Bonnet vents

Not bad

May I ask why you fitted them?
And what engine you have?

if any hot air comes out it will blow in through open windscreen flaps, i would have them facing the other way and add a vent on the side guard [opposite side to snorkel][thats what i did any way and thermo fans push that air out the side]

I have a td5 and I did it to release all the hot air as one is located almost ontop of the turbo (and for the looks) .. I didn't have them facing the other way because when it rains the engine bay would get satched.

Thanks for the feedback

Oh I'm also looking at getting a side vent as well.

I think they look horrible. I think the negatives outway the positives. I know a simple side guard vent does the job more than enough.

What are these other negatives besides looks (in your opinion) and the positives ??
