Help Needed!!!

[nov4801]

got a new bonnet of pillar yesterday and its got the peugeot 206 vent on it just above the air filter and air flow meter thingy, but at the moment i aint got the vent for it so there is 2 holes where it should be and im a little worried about if it rains. will it fcuk the car if water gets onto the air filter and air flow meter? at the minute i have to cover it up when i park up

even tho the maf sensor has the electrics obviously insulated i would still cover the hole, u dont want a damp filter especially if its foam like pipercross etc as they let moisture soak through, also lettin rain water in the engine bay will aid corrosion.

ill phone up a couple of scrappies near me tomorrow mate see if i can get a vent for you. if they have one ill give you a ring or text and get your addy for posting it up to you. have you sorted out the alignment yet?

i have a vent mate but it will still let water in. i wanted to use it as a working vent insted of a show vent

[Pillar]

once youve tigersealed it on nothing should get in there.

what do the pugs have under the vent ??

[nov4801]

nothin as there isnt nothing under the vent on a peugeot

I removed the bonnet cladding from my car last summer and have never had a problem with rain the engine bay area. And my vent is considerably larger than a 206 vent lol

My filter isn't directly under the vent though, but the turbo is.

nothin as there isnt nothing under the vent on a peugeot

thats cuz' on pugs its further up the bonnet and offset

[Jack]

The pug "vents" act as small scoops though, not vents, hence nothing being directly under them


Ohhh pic whore time, this is my vent, hello turbo :D
