Re:Jimny Gen 4 Diff Breathers?

Can I recommend the new Des-sol breather kit from South Africa.
No drilling or tapping.


Exceptional quality and very easy to install.

Looks a nice kit but,

Does it need differential breathers, are they not fitted as standard?
 

Yes, the vehicle needs them.

I had mine done recently. Otherwise the wading depth is something ridiculous like 30cms from memory.

They are fitted as std but sit above the axle. This set move them higher to enable you to go through deeper water as end point is high in engine bay.

Std you cand wade through 30cm water or it will suck in water if water is higher then breather point

Diff oil an water is not friends.

So most people that do a little more adventurous stuff lift the end cap much higher by rooting it to highest point in engine bay. More likely you then can easlily go through 4 feets of water.

The realexperts take it upinto in snorkel and can go throuģh 5feet

Well, that's a good idea then.

l may order a kit for ours.

If you are using fuel/oil resistant rubber hose and you feel it may kink then I would suggest you use an internal coil spring ( I used stainless steel ) to prevent this happening.
