The Volkswagen Amarok has established itself as a powerful and formidable pickup in Kenya, combining the highly reputable German engineering, off-road capability, excellent towing capacity, and a comfortable cabin.
As capable and mighty as it appears to be, the VW Amarok needs one more upgrade to fully unlock its hidden strength. A snorkel. Adding a snorkel to your pickup not only gives it an adventure-ready look, but also protects your engine from knocking.

What is a snorkel?
A snorkel is an elevated air intake system that raises the air intake point from under the hood to about roof level. This allows the engine to draw cooler, cleaner air from a higher location.

Without a snorkel, you risk water getting into the cylinders of your TDI engine when doing river crossings or navigating through a flooded road. When water is compressed inside the cylinder, it can lead to hydrolock, causing bent rods and cracked pistons. Incorporating a snorkel reduces by far the risk of water ingress.

Here in Kenya, we have so many murram roads which are dusty and muddy. Too much dust can overpower your air filter, hence allowing the dust to get into your engine. Installing a snorkel draws cleaner air from a higher ground, greatly contributing to the Amarok’s performance as well as excellent fuel economy.

If you use your Amarok as an overlanding pickup, you really need a snorkel to enhance its performance and reliability. This is the part where we are told prevention is better than cure.
