justustwo Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I have a standard defender 200tdi but has a Mantec raised air intake. I noticed today that with the engine idling that I am getting a steady puff of air coming from the air filter cannister join/seal(where it comes apart for getting at the air filter) Is this right? it seems to be less noticeable when you increase the revs but I think is still there slightly.Have tried to put some rubber sponge gasket material in between the two halves but it's still puffing to the outside would rather have it pushing air out than sucking air in as would be worried about water ingress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Mine does it at idle too. I suspect it's to do with the shape of the airbox or airflow patterns within it. Has never seemed to cause any issues so I've not worried about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballcock Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 If air is getting out then water will probably get in. block the top of your snorkel and see if the engine cuts out or spray some easy start at the joint when you pick the revs up.
