Thanks for the video. Even though I live in the bush and encounter water crossings on a regular basis, and have done a 4x4 training course, there's no such thing as too much knowledge. And that's why I love these type of instructional videos and plan to stay safe as long as possible.

Hi Prandomable, you're right, there's certainly some rivers in Australia where crocodile danger is very real. At certain times, some of them are simply unsafe to walk, particularly if you're on your own. Certainly keeps us on our toes!

@ARB4x4Accessories 11 лет назад

WD40 or a similar water repelling spray, Matt.

Hi again, most modern common rail diesel engines provide similar performance to petrol engines whilst delivering reduced fuel consumption. Off road, diesel engines have a higher degree of engine braking in steep terrain and the maximum torque is generally much lower in the rev range which is great for low speed crawling. Petrol vehicles have their advantages in certain situations as well but, in general, this is why diesel is gaining in popularity for 4x4 and light commercial vehicles.

You'll need to work fast to perform a safe recovery if you become stuck. Whilst door seals will prevent water entering the cabin during most water crossings, they will not prevent water entering once the vehicle becomes stationary. Electrical components will also be at risk. Before making any crossing, it's important to walk the body of water. If you're unsure, and you're by yourself, wait for another vehicle to come by in case you need help. Recovery aids should be prepared before crossing.

Something the presenter didn't touch on that I would definitely recommend when attempting a water crossing is to adjust your tyre pressures accordingly, especially if it is a bit soft under foot. Cheers.

Dan Strommer Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Ojmiano, all Safari snorkels come in black. Rest assured, they're manufactured to the highest UV ratings possible and are designed to thrive in the harshest conditions in the world. For a thorough run down on the UV ratings and material properties of Safari snorkels, check out their website.

very interesting THX 4 the tips recommendation; ref. front & rear differential balls on a 4x4 get them fitted with high rise Air Intakers + if the engine is water proof , U may run the risk of over heating in contrary water will leak in Remember : your 4x4 is not a submarine

Greetings from Australia Juanarraez!

You mentioned that no clutching while in the water. How about for automatic transmissions? Thank you.

@ARB4x4Accessories 9 лет назад

amdomag The reason is to prevent the water (possibly) coming between the pressure plate and flywheel. If this happens, the vehicle may experience limited power due to clutch slippage. This is not an issue with automatic vehicles.

@ARB4x4Accessories 12 лет назад

It's a WD40 or CRC type spray, Levan.

@marconaidoo8658 2 года назад

Hello, great video. What happens if the vehicle is turbo charged, will water nearing the turbo be an issue?

@LTT.Official 6 лет назад

Diff breathers, alternator?

@r19mayorga 12 лет назад

Success, what is applied at the gate to avoid the water?

@ojmiano 11 лет назад

Are there any White colored snorkels that ARB offers? In my desert climate black soaks up too much heat.

@ARB4x4Accessories 12 лет назад

Just a bit of WD40 or CRC spray on the door seals.

@1973benjie 8 лет назад

what happens with my engine when water enters my snorkel? will it damage my turbo and engine? is it possible that water enters my snorkel and it will damage my engine or turbo?

@Monster12401 7 лет назад

Benjie Bautista it will damage the pistons and possible seriously damage your engine

@eddyscully 11 лет назад

cheers man

@Thinker669 9 лет назад

Never use a PVC pipe and cone filter as a snorkel. It will leak, big time.

@ARB4x4Accessories 11 лет назад

Haha, good spot! Something strange going on with the video file there I reckon.

@mansourq4166 10 лет назад

Hi there, your best bet is to contact our Exports Department (exports@arb.com.au) who'll be able to point you in the right direction. From our experience, you shouldn't expect any negative effect on fuel consumption by fitting a Safari snorkel.

Wouldn’t the snorkel still suck in hot air in the summer, as the snorkel heats up in the sun, the air passing through the snorkel would become hot wouldnt it?

@prandomable 12 лет назад

there's another question i wonder is that why most vehicle in Europe and Australia as well I assume is diesel. And as for off roading I personally would prefer gasoline engine especially for trucks since diesel pickup trucks is just too heavy and does not perform well in deep mud.

@303BoltAction 11 лет назад

ok so you don't push the clutch......what happens if 1. you stall out for some reason, or 2. you get stuck and need to shift into reverse are you SOL or....
