					There is another thread on this topic Bigmac - the one about engine D4 engine system failure that seems to be the same thing - http://www.aulro.com/afvb/d3-d4-rrs/...ng-beware.html

					turns out that water some how got down the snoorkle and got the air flow meter
 wet and the air filter was also wet. the rain was heavy but I didn't think it would
 suck in water with the head of the snoorkle facing towards the back as I hadn't turned it around since going through the locust plague in Vic.
 They also said that there were a lot of locust in the bottom of the air cleaner box,
 I had cleaned it out after going through them they must have been in the snoorkle
 tube.

					Interesting.  I checked mine (air filter) and it was as new.  Lots of locusts on the trip too - but none in the airbox.  I await my cars diagnosis with interest.

					Hi Ken,
 That's what I thought, but I just wanted to be sure. 
 
 Best Wishes,

					Hi BigMac,
 Considering where you live getting water in the snorkle would be a given right now.  Hope everything is OK where you are.  I've just come back from a trip I encountered quite a few locusts in SA, thanks for the heads up I'll have a look at the weekend.
