Default How can mouse get into airbox?
I just cleaned out my airbox and it was 1/2 full of grass, a few nuts, etc. Clearly a mouse. How the hell can it get in there? I have the prefilter in place so it can't come down the snorkel. i just replaced the filter 6 months ago. it must be getting in from the flapper thing on the side. the little f'er also ate some of the foam lining that is used for sound deadening.

oh well, it is cleaned out now.

Are you serious? Have you used your car at all recently? Cos the engine heat will sure BBQ it.

Default Yes, I am serious. the airbox before the filter was full on grass, like a nest.
I drive the car daily, but it sits on the weekends. who knows.
