We were at a music festival this weekend and there were quite a few VW busses there of all ages. There was an Aussie import Bay with this: Anyone know what it is?
looks like an air filter intake as used on landys when in dusty areas or wading through deep water to me.
I'd go with Ricks guess...those outback roads kick some dust up, would it assist non clogging of said air filter
It was fitted to many buses from Australia where the road conditions were very dusty. And yes they are hideous.
I think the worse bit about that is it looks well cobbled together, and look how much damage its done getting on there, so taking it off is no joke i.e. vents been cut out and holes in the roof etc!
its obviously a high level air filter used in a australian van due to very dusty conditions in the outback i doubt that is a og part but vw did change stuff around for the australian only market on splittys if you have ever noticed the side vents are higher up where deluxe rear windows go and on single cab pickups they have 2 roof skins and the engine breathes through the gap betwwen the roof skin layers
