Safari Snorkel annoying vibration

[whiteman Member Find all posts View Profile Close whiteman]

The snorkel has an annoyingly noisy vibration at low speeds. Anyone got a simple fix for this sort of thing or should I take it back to ARB for a look?

Vibration coming from where ?

( ie can you isolate it to the turret or from beneath the guard ? )

Sometimes the "head" on my safari snorkel vibrates at low RPM. I just give it a litle twist bck an forth and tighten the hose clamp and the vibration goes away.

I can't pinpoint where it is coming from as I'm trying to drive the car! I will have a look at the top bracket.

Re: Safari Snorkel annoying vibration

sounds like something is not fitted correctly or has come loose, or maybe was never tightened to begin with.
obviously wasn't there before the snorkel fitment.
have they tightened/refitted the air cleaner box correctly?
does your snorkel feel tight on the guard?

A quick look reveals nothing obvious. I'll have a closer look at home this arvo.

Had a very annoying resonance vibration in the snorkel on my Pajero which couldn't be fixed. Drove me bonkers. Will probably put me off going Safari for the Prado.

Re: Safari Snorkel annoying vibration

I seem to have fixed the problem ... touching wood as I type. Leachy_9's idea was all I did - nothing loose with the exception of the screws holding the band at the top which took half a turn each. Everything else rock solid. I'll bet it comes back Monday louder than ever!

I also have a vibration coming from mine have not made it back to uv yet but the bloke there said that sometimes the bolts they put in the pillar just rub so should be able to just undo the bolts and give a wiggle and retighten but will leave it to them as that way they cant blame me

Re: Safari Snorkel annoying vibration

all it is mate is the drain plug at the bottom compartment of the air filter , its a little rubber plug that u can grag from underneath and just open it up and it releases the air pressure and the noise goes aways , thats all it is mate , give it a try and see how you go.

ARB fitted a safari snorkle to my diesel GXL yesterday and I have a really annoying vibration when at idle and the air con condenser kicks in. The only reason I fitted a snorkel was to get rid of the 1500 rpm vibration.

Any ideas befor I take it back to ARB?

Maybe there's a loose nut somewhere, in particular the nuts that hold the snorkel to the guard.

I had a sound which almost sounded like a rattle/ back pressure, it turned out to be the drain bung in the air box wasn't fully sealed, got some sensor safe sealant and walla noise gone, don't know if yours is the same issue tho, but might be one thing to rule out

The bolts used to come loose on mine all the time (securing the snorkle to the 'a' pillar), so i put a little locktight on them, and they havent moved since

I have just had a safari snorkel fitted to my 14 150 gxl and at around 900 rmp when the aircon kicks in there is an annoying vibration/rattle . Is this common and what is the fix exactly because it gives me the s@#ts.
