raised air intake

Postby mdeflyer » Tue Jan 29, 2013 11:25 pm

Hi all,
does anyone out there know if anyone makes a raised air intake for a 2004 (guess that's Mk6) transit?
It's going to Iceland and the one thing I want to do is raise the air take for the river crossings!

I'm not sure that will help :? With the pump and wiring being lower than the air intake, I'm sure it will conk out before the water gets as high as the filter :shock:

Hi mdeflyer, Iceland is absolutely fantastic, people so friendly and helpful,I had my mk5 in Iceland in 2010 and stayed for I think 9 weeks. But you won't encounter river crossings unless you go into the Interior.
