This guy below wishes he had installed a snorkel.

Houston, we have a problem.

I`ve been tempted myself a few times to install the Entreq snorkel with its waterproofing kit, but never got to it sofar. Right now it remains cheap temptation, because they are sold out/waiting a new production batch. We will see when back in stock if I will ask Olaf to install one... Also would have to make sure that our Swiss MOT would not object to it.

Hi guys,

after Santa finally brought me my long awaited snorkel I was now able to fit it and take it on a test drive.

First of all I have to say, that the quality of the Entreq stuff is really extraordinary. Fitting was a piece of cake and everything came into place quite nicely, especially after paying attention to some special tips and tricks Mr. B�cking from Entreq Engineering told me earlier by mail. The quick and easy support directly from the manufacturer was surely a plus for the Entreq snorkel.

As the fitted snorkel looked already great on my Landy I couldn't wait to hear the new hissing sound Wild Card 90 told me about. And after driving up the nearby mountains I can definitely confirm the new sound coming from the big black tube. No empty promises in this regard. Thanks WC90!
Now I'm already longing to know how much better it has to sound on warm summer days when the Defender has already been gleefully sucking in all the air it was able to get hold of.

At the end a picture of my Landy with the fitted snorkel on top of our unfortunately snow free mountains (apart from the ski resort in the top left corner, of course). Have some nice holidays and a happy new year!

I have a Mantec RAI installed on my 206 300Tdi. I want to make it waterproof but I'm stuck on the valve in the piping.

I see the advantages of this on our dusty roads and would like to keep it in the piping, but how to seal it when crossing deep water.

This I don't do that often but sometimes I must.

So do make a temporary seal, like grease, or just remove it?
And lastly, are there any other places that I must give attention.

Hi,

As I an idea and what I have done is to simply zip tie a rubber glove over the end of the dump valve.

Simple, easy, effective and easy to remove when not needed..
