Niamh Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 The 300TDi instructions say for the inner wing hole location- "To mark the inside hole position, measure down from the inner guard lip 72mm and forward from the firewall 310mm. Re-check these measurements several times until the positions intersect in the same place." What exactly to they mean by the inner guard lip and the firewall? A diagram would have been so much clearer! Niamh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty_32 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I think the firewall is the bulkhead, and the inner guard lip perhaps the top of the inner wing? I wasn't too sure when i did mine so I cut the outside wing first and then held the snorkel in position, had to make the hole a little bigger but it wasn't a bad guess! It is also inside and the rubber trim bit still makes it look quite neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niamh Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 That is what I think too. But to me a firewall is a what goes between out internal network and the big bad internet Niamh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty_32 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 You have to remember these are made by Australians, so there may be a little lost in translation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco_al Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 basically if you look on the n/s inner wing you will see a big round pressing mark, that's roughly where you need to cut the inner hole. On 200 tdi's that's where the air intake is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 200 tdi's that's where the air intake is... And on 300TDIs that's obstructed by the airbox, so the hole must go a good bit further back.

disco_al Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 no. take the airbox out, and the adaptor for the snorkel comes in through that hole, turns 90 deg towards the front of the car, then into the box.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niamh Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 That's the ABS version of the snorkel you've got there Non-ABS http://www.safarisnorkel.com/snorkel/ss350hf/ss350hf.htm Niamh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niamh Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 310mm from the bulkhead seems to be miles out! 290mm might be closer. I'd email Safari themselves, only they don't publish an email address. Niamh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Isn't firewall american for bulkhead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niamh Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Could be, in which case the stated 310mm is wrong. Niamh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
