thanks Mike

Still can tast the dust from SA (not Home yet) will give them a call

They appear to to be a dry foam filter with a protection cover . I wounder how they will go with heavy rain or would they be used when travelling in dusty conditions

I will email them

Ive been having some ideas of making a sort of sock filter that hangs down inside the air intake grill. Probably made out of vacuum cleaner bag fabric or something along those lines.
Im also thinking about fabricating a filter holder to go over the return air vent in the passenger footwell. Just make it to fit a common size cabin filter that I can get from ryco.

I was looking at the air ducting on mine the other day with the view of putting a filter inline.
What I found is the ducting to the heater box intake doesn't line up and has a 10mm gap up one side.
I'm going to investigate if a flat sheet of plastic can be inserted over the intake (it's similar to what a few of the logging trucks do).

Checked on the ones from devon 4*4 as per download the foam is 45ppi and appears to be all weather and the extra pollen 80ppi is not all weather

I have checked with unifilter sock that fits over a snorkle ram 45ppi
When ordering these snorkle socks they must be ordered DRY and not oiled (chemicals / smell inside vehicle )
I was told to use either vit E oil / or baby oil approx tea spoon per use and wash with soapy water BUT make sure it really dry before applying oil

I have got a snorkle ram off e bay so now to manufacture a base and pipe for ram to fit on mudguard

I have seen a lot of photo's on here lately with one of these on the cabin air intake. I wonder if they have a filter? (I have even seen one on the drivers side :o)

Out of curiosity, do the socks and foams that are rated in ppi generally need replacing, or can they be cleaned and re-used over and over?

For example, the Devon 4x4 one... re-useable by cleaning?

That's interesting. Any idea why?

Thats a snow cowl. Pat

[PAT303]

That's interesting. Any idea why?Not sucking air in from the top of the wing would help,having the leading edge of the cowl lower than the trailing edge would help with directing debris away from the inlet also. Pat

Stops dirt and water settling into the intake and blocking the drain as well..

Alien has them, and Mrs Tombie has a set on their way...

I have one on the drivers side to help get heat out of the engine bay and if you put your hand up next to it after an hour of driving you can feel it working......

I too have one on the drivers side, my winch solenoid is located under there. Plus it really does help dissipate the heat, especially as the turbo spins away on that side. It's not a bad little hand warmer on a winters day

I changed the heater matrix in the Tdi today,it doesn't have a cowl and the amount of rubbish in the duct and fan box was unreal. Pat

[alien]

I have been thinking of putting some heavy density foam in the snow cone for when on the dustier trips.
Run the system on recycle and let the foam catch what little gets pasts the flap.
Slip it out when running the blacktop.


The other thing I'm yet to look into is maybe fitting a slide in filter between the ducting and the heater box.
It should not get wet up in under the bonnet.


After that I've only got to seal the 4 doors, tail gate and roof to body join and I'll be right;)
