Hey all,
Have an interesting one for you, had the car serviced the other day, while talking to my mech about general guff I decided to pull the air filter box drain plug off (I think that's what it's called)
The plastic bung thing under the air box, anyway after I had pulled it off I noticed that the silicone that had been used to seal it up had perished, so decided to pull it out, with the intention of putting new silicone in. Now what surprised me and had me baffled for a few days is that my snorkel seemed to have developed a back pressure out of the ram head, it almost sounded like something was loose, now after pushing and pulling things, I couldn't for the life of me understand why it had suddenly developed this sound. Then the light bulb finally lit up in my head, so I quickly opened up the bonnet cuffed my Hand over this drain bung and walla the sound web away, I have since re sealed this bung with sensor safe silicone and went a bit nuts to ensure that it stays sealed, just thought I would let you guys know just incase you are having a similar issue, with a snorkel "rattle"
Cheers
