Hey everyone,
Last weekend went on a over night trip down a river bed here in Hawkes bay NZ in my 2016 lux.
Long story short after crossing a relatively deep hole (bow wave over bonnet), engine lost power and had white smoke like a steam train out exhaust.
Ute was optioned with a snorkel from dealership and dont worry, no water went near the top of the snorkel.
Parked up and checked air filter.. absolutely saturated. Pulled inner wheel well guard off to find the pipe between snorkel and airbox half hanging out
The bolt that holds the connecting pipe in place was tight. So someone hasn't done their job properly.
Dried out airfilter as best i could and fitted pipes together to get me home the next morning.
I will be taking ute into Toyota as soon as I can. As this is still under warranty what will Toyota likely do? I have pictures of snorkel and gap between pipes and a f@$#*d air filter to show them
Thanks for any advice
Leroy
