diff breathers

[muddys1]

as i have not long had my 110 puma crew cab, i was thinking back to my old 130 crewcab 300tdi and the tool kit it came with, ''wadeing plugs''
i did happen to have the tool kit out of the puma the other week and don't remember seeing any plugs,
does the new puma's not come with breathers ?????, i did some crawling around under it the other day, but couldnt find any breather on the rear diff, maybe i just didn't look hard enough ???????:confused:

cheers

Mine has diff breathers front and rear.

No wading plugs though.

x 2.
Had some breathers installad at Piranha.

might have to crawl under and have another look:cool:

I'm pretty sure the breathers are already connected to tubing that seems to run up and disappear into the body. Is that right?

[Grockle]

breathers are fitted at the factory, but some people extend them,there aren't any wading plugs fitted to Pumas

No... just high enough to get you over the recommended wading depth

If you want to extend the breathers, buy some garden irrigation hose from Bunnings (it's pretty much the same stuff as that used by LR) and join them to the existing pipe ends with a length of heat shrink tubing (available from electronic parts stores). I did mine, terminating them behind the top of the snorkel. Even used the little irrigation spray fittings at the top. They must look OK because I've been asked a couple of times where to get the 'special tops'. It took about an hour to do and cost about $15.

I don't know about the puma, but on my 300tdi all but one of the existing breathers terminates at the back of the engine. The rear axle breather terminates in the wheel arch. It was easier to simply replace this one.

Just a bump.

My new (as of yesterday) Puma 110 has both axle breathers going up near the rear of the engine and as high as the top of the engine.
The lines are secured with zip ties and don't look like factory fitted. Perhaps LRA fits them?

went searching for them today on my new 110,,,, front x2 diff/gbox,,,,,,, terminating lhs side of engine ,level with engine top ,,,,,,, hoses end in a crook,,,,,, have not scritinised in detail yet but integrity of set up appears good..... routing appears good /thru chassis etc etc,,,,,,,,, been to busy to climb under but plan to lay under the beast tomorrow for a few hours and get familliar ,,,,,maybe break out a pak of zipties etc etc,,,,,

Sounds exactly like my factory breather lines...

My rear axle breather only goes to the driver's side rear wheel arch.

Ha! My 08 110 rear axle breather goes to the passenger side rear wheel arch. Now extended to engine bay along with fuel tank breather, to match front axle and transfer breathers.

So it looks like the continuous improvement of the vehicle.
I must say that I doubt that my breathers are factory fitted in UK. Common garden zip ties used on mine.

Factory fitted zip ties ;)

well, now that i'm back from work for the week i'll just have to have a good look

Mulgo confirmed with my 2010 Puma that the rear breathers now terminate in the engine bay on firewall along with the fronts - so improvements have continued.
