Air Filter Blocked or what



This is what I found when I took the air filer out of my Hyundai Santa Fe.
What you are seeing are NUTS!
Some bloody rodent decided to use the housing as a nest!!

The whole housing was full as well and it took me 2 hours and 2 full vacumm cleaner bags to get rid of it all.

you would be surprised how often that happens.

Trucks chassis have all sorts living in them from rats to birds.

Also santa fe, what engien you got in it? the diesel? Its gutless, get it remapped its much better after that.

Surprised the hell out of me Chris. Yes it's the 2.0 Diesel and yes it's pretty gutless but frankly down here with no traffic on the roads when you get up to crusing speed you pretty much stay there.

But I'm interested in the re-mapping. Is this the same as getting a powerbox fitted cos I've been thinking of that for a while

yeah exactly the same. The car would be good if it wasn't for the crappy engine. When its remapped its transformed, dunno who does it but my old man has one and its shit, boy came into the garage with a remapped one and it feels like its got a 3 litre in it and its a lot better on fuel as its not being ragged everywhere
