james Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hello to all I have just put an 2.8 TGV to Defender 90 200 Tdi LHD. now I have problems of interference between the flexible hose that exits from SS550HF Safari Snorkel and the 200 Tdi heater assembly,in fact now they are without the heater assembly but the winter is approached how I can resolve? I must acquire the 300 Tdi heater assembly ? or ESR3173 and ESR3175 with a new SS575HF-LHD Safari Snorkel ? thank you Giacomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v8bertha Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I've no actual experience of the problems you are experiencing... But IIRC the 200 tdi Safari Snorket fits on the left hand side of the vehicle, whereas the 300tdi one fits on the right hand side. As the TGV is loosely based on a 300tdi, maybe the 300tdi snorkel would be better suited? Of course this assumes that you have used the 300tdi style air box rather than the original 200tdi.

james Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hi v8bertha thank you for answer. the 2.8TGV engine arrives with its air filter that is equal to the 300 Tdi and is in the RH side of the engine. I have mounted the 300 tdi snorkel but I have this problem. Giacomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgnas Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 LHD car so heater box on RH same as 300tdi air intake. So effectively as tight a fit as a 200tdi fitment on a RHD car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Surely a bit of flexi pipe and some thinking/measuring should solve this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case the 200tdi snorkel connected to a longer bit of pipe should solve the problem!? James/Giacomo, I think a little bit of ingenuity may be called for here as you are attempting to fit standard components to a non-standard setup.

The Badger Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 yep, I have a TGV on a RHD, get a longer hose, or fit a RHD wing and fit the snorkel on that side, or get a longer bit of pipe. The Sarafi snorkel has a good 3inch flow on it so make sure your pipe is as big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
