As a recreational off roader there is bound to be tracks you come across with stream or river crossings and even more common mud or bog holes. For these occasions we fit snorkels to our vehicles to allow our engines to still get clean air even in the deepest holes or crossings.
Many people forget that there differentials, gearboxes and transfer cases all have breathers as well and can be as low as the centre of your wheels which get easily submerged in the shallowest of holes or a partially flooded road let alone a river crossing.
HKB Performance full driveline and Diff Breathers kits are a cost effective way to safe guard and also reduce the service costs to the expensive driveline components of your pride and joy.
One of the most extreme times for your four wheel drives driveline is when off road or crossing water. Your driveline being at operating temperature when suddenly dropped in a mud or water hole the driveline housings get cooled rapidly which can cause a suction of air through the breather, at this point it is submerged in either mud or water which inturn gets sucked into the housings and mixed with the oil lubricating these parts.
HKB remote driveline breather kits are designed to extend the breathing point of your differentials, transfer case and gearbox to an area where water shall not reach such as the highest point in the engine bay, cabin or even inside your snorkel.

This kit will extend both differentials, transfer case and gearbox. (this is a big bore kit)

  • four male push fittings

Frequently asked questions

Why should I fit diff and drivetrain breathers?

Factory breathers are often short and located low, which can let water and dust enter when the components heat up and cool down. Extended breathers relocate the vents higher and use filters to reduce the risk of water and contamination entering differentials, gearboxes and transfer cases, especially in off-road and water crossing use.

What vehicles is the Unimog Mercedes Benz 4Way Diff Gearbox Transfer Breather Kit compatible with?

This kit is specifically designed for the Mercedes Benz Unimog, ensuring a perfect fit for its differentials, transfer case, and gearbox. Always verify compatibility with your specific Unimog model before installation.

How does this breather kit protect my driveline components?

The breather kit extends the breathing points of your differentials, transfer case, and gearbox to a higher location, preventing water and mud ingress during off-road excursions. This helps maintain the integrity of the lubricating oil and reduces the risk of contamination.

Can I install this kit myself, or do I need a professional?

While the kit is designed for straightforward installation, it is recommended that individuals with mechanical experience perform the installation. If you're unsure, consulting a professional can ensure proper fitment and function.

How does this kit differ from other breather kits on the market?

This kit features a big bore design, allowing for higher airflow and better performance compared to standard breather kits. It also includes high-quality stainless steel fixtures and fittings, ensuring durability and reliability in harsh off-road conditions.
