Fitting a snorkel to a Nissan Patrol Y61 3L
Article published in partnership with Patrol-GR.net
The first step is to remove the air box. Remove all the surrounding pipes to improve access so that all that remains is the bottom section of the air box.
Remove the indicator then unbolt the air box (attached within wheel arch)
Remove the end that goes into the wing and the whole air box
Continue by removing the inner mud guard from within the wing
You'll now find the old air intake tube and a shaped piece of foam. Remove both the metal tube and the foam.
Cut out the wing ready for the snorkel
Place this part in the wing
Refit the lower secion of the air box - attaching it from within the wing
Seal to ensure that it's watertight
Seal up the small hole at the bottom of the air box
The snorkel is attached at 3 points up top and 3 from within the wing
Next fit the tube that connects the snorkel to the air box
Refit the indicator
Attach the snorkel head
Job done!
