it look to be honest like the way a v8 has it filter left hand side as you look at the engine

depending on what pipework you have actually in the engine bay you may be able to just cut a hole and then fit a standard snorkel to the wing.

thank you for that , waqs wondering if i could fit a snokle or not

on the grounds that you have the correct filter I would say that the intake pipe on it is also correct. If you got your hands on the square intake section that would usually go behind the grill on the inside of the wing, you could easily fit a 300tdi snorkel.

thats very good news . thank you very much for your time.

This is the same type of snorkel that I've got.

as long as you get the 300tdi air duct in place behind the snorkel it should be ok and will just mean the plate on the outside of the snorkel will fit slightly proud of the rest of the bodywork as you won't have the recess.

Nice for all 300tdi engines then.

Cos a 200tdi engine ain't always a 200tdi engine when it comes to water pumps.

If you know what I'm sayin.
