Snorkel for 204ps?

[Fikabonds_swe]

Are there any snorkels for the cali with 204ps engine?

Brings me out in a cold sweat to think that someone might want to drive their Cali - Their "home on wheels" through water that high.

Hi, welcome.

When you mention snorkels, is it for increasing wade depth?

Usually a higher air intake does get confused for a snorkel. The terms do get used interchangeably. The higher air intake only helps to get cleaner air into the engine air filter.

See the below. for a higher air intake. It is called a snorkel, but is technically not a snorkel in the true sense of the word.

Mounting the snorkel higher on the vehicle reduces the amount of dust in the air intake system and the intake air is cooler. It also provides protection against water entering the system during deep water passages. Air intake for vehicles with 110 or 150 kW and left-hand drive Important: The...

If you are planning to increase the wade depth, then you need to manage the vents in the gearbox and the diff. then you need this - https://www.seikel.de/shop/gearbox-vents-for-greater-fording-depth-kopieren/?lang=eh

I have the Brava snorkel and the Hess Products wade lifting kit for the differential and gearbox vents. I opted to not do the standing heater and water boiler (Club Joker) as these will work fine once they dry out.

Try contacting Matt at T5 upgrades.
I brought a van 150 with a Bravo air intake already fitted, they do make a fair bit of noise as it sucks in the air, sounds like a wheel bearing going,
Also if you have or need an exterior thermal cover it will need adapting.
I wouldn’t fit one because of the noise, be warned

Cheers, how long does it take to dry out? I havnt found any options for the 204 to move the intake for thr heater and water boiler.

I have the vents for the gearbox and diff on the to-do list.

Witt the above installed do you know what the wadding depth would be?

I haven’t tested it yet but the guys at Hess and TravelTech both told me about an hour. You may see a little smoke when it first kicks in but nothing to be alarmed about.

I can’t help with the 204ps. I have a 150 tuned with Pendle Performance to 200.

The vents are installed at the same height as the airbox. Measure to the middle of your airbox and that will give you the approx wading depth.
