Air intake & Washing.

oh,, I dunno--

Excellent footage. A little far away to visit but it would be fun! And Disco's don’t need a snorkel to be a sub!

I had a look around in the D4 and could not find the rubber ducks bottom, where exactly is this? I just did a decent water crossing with no complaints from the D4 (no snorkel) only a bit of a racing heart on my part. There was a bit of a current and the water in parts was in the I wish I had a snorkel category and I didn't notice any floatation of the vehicle albeit I wasn't hanging around to wait for any either.

If you check footage of a D3/4 pushing a bow wave you wil see that a trough is created just behind the front wheels seems like a smart place for the air intake certainly better than one drawing air up front where the water is the highest.

Hi Paul,
In the D3, they were in the bottom of the air box (where the air filter is). I would expect the D4 to be similar.

HTH,
