Snorkel (Raised Air Intake)

It reduces the risk of water entering the engine during wading. It also draws cleaner air in dusty conditions. It does not by itself raise the vehicle’s official wading depth. In very dusty conditions, the snorkel head may need a pre-cleaner.

A sealed duct leads from a roof-level head to the engine’s air filter housing.

All joints must be sealed, or water can still enter. Other components such as electrics and breathers also limit wading.
