RE: Snorkel

Welcome space cowboy,
Unlike Discovery,Full fat RR etc. The side vents on the Evoque are just trim, which don't do anything apart from looking very nice Smile
Not looked to see there the air filter is under the bonnet, but I would guess that to fit a snorkel kit would mean cutting the body panels about Confused

RE: Snorkel

There is no snorkel kit for an Evoque, just as there is no snorkel kit for a Freelander 2 either.
Think you'll find that the air intake is in one of the side vents, as it is in the Freelander but I'm happy to be corrected.

I had the the side vents off to have then spayed & there just for show, there's no air supply duct behind them.

Spot on. It's above the left hand wheel arch and is protected by its own seal to prevent water ingress.
It's quite a small intake, flattened to about 1cm depth and about 10cm length.

Arrived: SD4 Prestige Auto Coupe with Lux pack. Ipanema Sand with Black Panoramic Roof
Ambience Interior with Macassa wood.

Now a Jag XFR Kyanite Blue - wow what power.
At home and superb.

RE: Snorkel

Thanks for the detail, might see if I can butcher one off something else to see what it looks like, more look than function.....?

RE: Snorkel

If you need the functionality of a snorkel then fine, but why ruin the look off the car with a fake one?

Wonder if water can enter from rear exhaust or there is any valve type mechanism to prevent?
