Hi, if you mean the RAI then yes it will but only with the correct metal plate which clips to the wing.

If it's the snorkel then I don't know

That is not a snorkel - a snorkel is fully sealed to allow the engine to breathe in deep water. A RAI will leak like a sieve.

So is there a difference between a RAI and a snorkel? Am I right in thinking that the max fording depth is still 28 inches even with one fitted?

Technically the wading depth with a proper snorkel is just below the top of the snorkel

....... BUT ......

that is neither safe nor sensible and would do damage to other parts of the vehicle systems that would probably kill the engine in spite of the nice air flow & would probably write off the car!

A RAI is just that, it is designed to take air from a cleaner environment & not choke the filters with dust & other detritus. A snorkel does the same job but is also sealed (if fitted properly) and so prevents water getting into the system.

Having said all that nothing prevents damage to components better than safe & sensible control from the soft & flabby (in my case) bit behind the steering wheel. Nick

the fittings in the inner wing are different on the D4 to the D3, there is an additional part number required for the D4. Duncan
