Hi, bought a snorkel off ebay (TJM) lightly used). Looking at how to go about fitting it tonight and I assume it goes on the drivers side. The brake booster looks like it may be in the way somewhat? Do you just cut a large hole out to fit the nozzle through or get the jigsaw and cut out the whole section inside the gasket?

Mine is a 200TDI so the air filter is over the towards the passenger side. I know this is going to be a dumb question, but what do I attach it to? I'm assuming the big can with the pipe going to the turbo is the air filter. The snorkel has a short nozzle that goes through the body, then there's another rigid piece about a foot long, but no where near long enough to get to the air cleaner of course.

from what ive seen and my limited knowledge on 200tdi the snorkle normaly goes on the passanger side. think you might have a 300tdi snorkle there but i may be wrong.....

I think there's even less room on the passenger side. I think the heater box would be well and truly in the way

Yep, 300Tdi one. What you could do though is get a 200Tdi one and fit dual intakes. That would improve things :)
