Finally got the safari snorkel on, buy only dry fixed.. Going to play with silocone this afternoon!



When all the silicone is dry, if ive done it right, if i put my hand over the top of the snorkel, the engine should stall.



What if enough air can get in somewhere for it to run - As its on a 200tdi, the heater matrix is in the way of the air intake in the wing so i cant get to it. Heater out time?



How much water can go into a diesel engine before it dies. None? Im assuming that rain and the like will be removed by the air filter unit?

The air filter will get it - and by the time the turbo has cooked it as well it will be completely vapourised (I seem to recall reading that injecting a bit of steam can into a diesel engine can be a Good Thing under certain circumstances).

Water in the top end of an engine is Bad News - liquids cannot be compressed so something has to give......
