If you fit the spats in front of the front wheels that are part of the facelift you’ll be restricting ground clearance. The same with the stiff plastic mudguards. The fuel tank is the lowest point of the chassis and grounds out before anything else. The snorkels I’ve seen for the FL2 are a bit pointless unless you change the ducting within the front wing as the whole thing is porous. I don’t know about the i6 but the diesel air filter has a drain valve which is often missing. |

Wondering if the one way drain valve serves any real purpose.Yes the air box does need a drain but why not just a hole

No, the bottom of the airbox is well below the vent in the wing and the system is under suction when the engine is running. There have been reports that people have found the vent missing as a result of driving through puddles, let alone proper wading, with water getting in the airbox splashing and saturating the air filter which would essentially block it and the filter being sucked further down the inlet pipes along with water.

When I did a search years ago, I could only find Magnaflow 15576 which is still available for the LR2/FL2 in N.A. A custom shop might be an option. |

On the subject of air filters/air boxes... We had found by going through some deeper puddles that our air filter was getting wet. Just like so many others out there, our 1 way valve/vent at the bottom of the air box was missing so water was able to easily get up and into the air box. We then found out that you can replaced and upgrade the valve/vent and made a little video about it. To us, this is the most important "fix" that we have done on the car and highly recommend everyone checking their airbox.

I noticed a significant increase in power when driving with the four catalytic converters de-cored. |

All the O2 sensors did not require a bypass? |

There’s a few ways to bypass the O2 sensors. It’s just the second pair that need to be modified to avert an error. Using a spacer is probably the easiest way. I just wrapped the ends of the second pair of 02 sensors with a reinforced insulated aluminium tape as a temporary fix, until I fitted spacers - haven’t had an error yet.

No use for those in most of Europe though, where the cat function is checked at the annual road worthiness test. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The replacement for the SE. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Almost sold. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone. |

Exactly, and you will loose the reg. plate immediately and get a heavy fine on the spot.

You're the first foreign national I've heard say that. Most think the UK public were stupid for voting out. Yes the government made a right pig's ear out of the negotiations, but I think coming out of European control was a good thing. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate.
