Neil VR6 0 Posted December 23, 2004 I went to fit my K&N panel filter the other day on my G60 and noticed something. Where the air comes into the box and the front of it there is no kind of ducting or pipe attached to the hole. Effectively, the air box is sucking air from a small place behind the healdlamp. Is there not supposed to be some kind of ducting that takes clean cool air from the front of the car and directs it straight into the air box. I wondered if the previous owner had done something to it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3RKD 0 Posted December 23, 2004 just sound like the snorkal has been removed to me. there is NO ducting as standard on a corrado to the air box. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted December 23, 2004 Does this mean I don't have one of those carbon canisters then? Should I try to get some air directed into the hole? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 23, 2004 The gap around the headlight supplies the airbox with all the cold air it needs. It doesn't look very effective, but it works well enough I've found. The carbon canister is under the airbox in the inner wing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted December 23, 2004 Would be better to have the snorkel fitted, otherwise the engine will take in some hot 'engine air'. Anyone know if the snorkel off a 16v will fit the G60 airbox? If so, I'm sure I have one spare knocking around somewhere you can have free. Let me know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It loves this weather at the moment but come summer and I'll need all the cool air I can get with my puny standard intercooler! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
