when fitting new air filter and pipe work to my type85 coupe quattro with aby i thought put it somewhere cold, so behind front bumper it went.
ran really well, picking up that fresh air.
Never thought about it on sunday when i went for a drive in the rain!
Took about 12-15 miles to soak the air filter completely before the engine started sucking water in.
Luckily intermittent and got it home very slowly, looking like an extra from a Bond film on a few occasions, I didn t think the water would make that much white smoke.
Luckily did nt bend a rod
oil full of mayo so drained it and fitting a new filter.
any advice on an alternate location for the air filter, i don t want it in the engine bay n sucking hot air, although that would be better than water.
any pics would be helpful too
i did think or removing the headlight on track days and piping it through the hole, even cut an old light back down towards it.
