SteveG Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) Anyone got any experience of fitting these and how they work? Just wondering how the wolf air intake works?? Does it draw air in from the side or just the top?? Here's a pic in case anyone was wondering what I was onabout;) Cheers Steve Edited November 16, 2005 by SteveG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 they are fitted to each side and connected by a T peice to the std air intake hose which then goes to the filter. They are also handed. Imagine them as louvers/blinds on a tilt. therefore you cant see the slots from the sides but can if looking up from underneath. The idea of having one each side was that if one side was submerged/mud/water it would draw the air from the other side. in std horizontal form i guess it draws evenly from both (dependant on hose lengths etc) there are no filters or mess etc in them. In reality, extra bit to be knocked off and restrict air flow in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diesel_jim Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Cheers JamesCan't really see the point of them. Steve I think they're designed so that if "one" side of the vehicle drops into deep water, the air (which is easier to suck up than water) will be drawn through the un-submerged side, and vice-versa. Unlike, say, a 300Tdi where the intake is on the RH side, it's only "safe" to wade if you know there is a LH tilt to the underlying ground.

Porny Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Just out of a matter of interest.... Can anybody get hold of set??? or have got a pair they want rid of (in exchange for some folding beer tokens) Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the one - a better way of saying what i meant as above They are LR part numbered so you can get them through a dealer, more chance of getting it if the dealer you happen to use deals with Mil LR as well, eg Wotten Basset (TH Whites) etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really why I asked the original q to see what was special about them etc. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cols110 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Steve, is that your new toy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 And if you want to buy the parts, the numbers are: ESR 3282 Seal (left & Right) ESR 3283 Gasket (LH) ESR 3284 Gasket (RH) ESR 4569 Grille (LH) ESR 4570 Grille (RH) AFAIK, the "internal" bits are just a mix of 200 and 300Tdi pipework... the bits that fit just inside the wing skin and the pipe and the "T" piece.
