2019 Jimny - Diff Breather Installation

[@bunyipinteractive]

Great rundown of the install and the adaptors to avoid tapping the diffs. Keep up with the content 👍

[@BillyGoatJim]

Cheers. I’m currently putting together a video on installing some tie down points in the back. Should be up in the next couple of days

[@nickthomson1039]

Definitely going to do this on my Jimny! Cheers mate!

[@BillyGoatJim]

Your welcome and thanks for the comment. Definitely a must if you’re going in water.

[@Cedef36]

Thanks for the video. Do you remember what size hose you had to use on the transfer case spigot? I know you did yours over a year ago now so no worries if you've forgotten! All still going hard with the diff breather btw? I just got an ARB one and will have a crack at it over the weekend

[@jamestopp485]

Great vid mate! Very informative, if you could balance the audio so the speaking is the same as the music that’d be awesome. But great content ill be fitting mine this weekend so its helped a lot!

[@BillyGoatJim]

Glad it’s helpful. Thanks for the feedback on the audio, I’ll sort that out

[@SuperCasto1]

Awesome Billy goat love watching what u do, keep up the great work keep the vids coming 👊🏽

[@varoescal]

Great video! Quick question, in total you only needed 3 breathers out of the 6, right? One for the gear box, 1 for the transfer, and 1 for the differential. Am I right?

[@BillyGoatJim]

Hi, there’s one each for the front and rear differential and one for the transfer case, I’m not aware of an other 3.

[@varoescal]

@@BillyGoatJim Got it! Thanks!!!

[@williambacon1494]

Good video. I need to try this for transfer case. Spent a good 35 mins trying to get hose on. But think will need right angle adapter. Do you remember size of pieces used? Cheers

[@jaydean4029]

Brilliant!! Great explanation of everything. Thanks

[@dududuckling]

Nice clean install. Very informative. Thank you so much.

[@BillyGoatJim]

I appreciate the comment, cheers

[@manuelwebe]

Great video! What is the advantage of that compared with having a snorkel (or you should have both perhaps)? Thanks! (my new Jimny 2021 is coming in January! Can't wait, mate!)

[@jimmymifsud1]

You need both, the snorkel is for getting air into the engine for combustion, these are for air chnages in gear box and diff.. The problem is when your hot diff and gear box go's though water.. it cools them down, causing air to be sucked back into the case.. but if you're in water.. it'll cause water to get into the diff and gearbox..

[@estebanaleman5440]

Hey mate great video thank you for the complete explanation! 1 question tho. I've seen other jimny models have 2 transfer case breathers but I saw for this one you only extended 1 breather so gen 4 only has 1 transfer case breather?

[@BillyGoatJim]

Hi, I’m only aware of one, and the information I could find was based on one. Might be worth placing a phone call to Suzuki

[@estebanaleman5440]

Yeah I think the places where I saw 2 breathers are for older jimnys(I'll double check tho as you suggested). I'm getting a 4th gen jimny next week and definetly going to do this to it so this video is super useful for guidance thank you!

[@overland_adventure_nz]

Hi great video, most seem to miss the gearbox and transfer case. So why did you not just tap the diff breathers and fit the adaptors straight in? was it just easier for you to use the larger hose like we all did years ago.

[@BillyGoatJim]

I didn’t like the idea of tapping because I didn’t want to risk having swarf from the tap fall into the diff. I know some people use grease to mitigate this.

[@overland_adventure_nz]

@@BillyGoatJim Thanks, I can understand that. The first time I had to tap a Cylinder Head after a customer had damaged the Spark Plug threads was scary, but I had forgotten about that over the years.

[@Bradm90]

Good to see Jon Bernthal is into Jimny's too

[@chrisnelson2770]

Did you get most of this at Bunnings? Bought a diff kit off eBay, but didn't realise the breathing spigot wasn't thread. I've got some left over 13mm irrigation hose, just need to step it down to the 8mm kit

[@BillyGoatJim]

Yep, I think I bought most of it from Bunnings, and a length of hose from Supercheap Auto

[@corumbryant519]

Great videos mate

[@wesam7]

Sorry to bring this back, but how did you manage to install a breather hose on the transmission? I've been told its nearly impossible to reach without dropping the tranny all together. Please help.

[@parishhillwine]

The diff breathers is a great idea, but what do you think of the air intake near the air filter, you might get deep water in there. I havent seen any snorkels on the new jimny yet. cheers

[@BillyGoatJim]

That’s very true, breathers are only half the story... TJM have released a snorkel but I’ve heard mixed reviews on it.

[@KaizenOz]

What do you think your Jimny's wading depth would be now after these mods, with the tyres and lift?

[@BillyGoatJim]

It’s hard to know for sure, but I’ve been in water over 500mm deep multiple times now with no issues. The air intake would be the next point which would be remedied with a snorkel. There are still point where water can get in but these mods go a long way to keeping the water at bay

[@matthewgrixti3931]

I was told breathers just for the differentials are enough and that i dont need them for the transfer case and gearbox.. what do you think ?

[@leophillips1107]

Have you had any long term issues with the hose clamp onto the transfer case breather port? Like it coming loose? I noticed there is only about 5mm protrusion on that port.

[@BillyGoatJim]

No I haven’t had any issues. True there’s not much hanging out, but it has proven to be enough

[@RafikiAus]

Good video - thanks. I have an auto version. Do I need to do anything other than the two diff breathers?

[@BillyGoatJim]

In regards to water ingress, gearbox and transfer case breather are very important, following that a snorkel will be the next modification. That should have you sorted for the majority of cases.

[@davidanderson8381]

Thanks for the video.

[@BillyGoatJim]

No problems

[@S9RUT]

What size hose did you use for the Transfer case?

[@howardbarnes9583]

I am in NZ where do I get this kit.Thanks for any advice.

[@ylesone]

Thanks for the video, is that gearbox breather in the engine bay? I have an auto and we are finding it impossible to do the gearbox

[@robbieg5538]

Hi Holly, I also haven't managed to locate the gearbox breather for an auto. Hopefully it doesn't exist.

[@ylesone]

@@robbieg5538 it does exist and is incredibly hard to get to. It's on top of the gearbox

[@neilhunt9010]

Did you manage to do it

[@ylesone]

@@neilhunt9010 yep, a friend with bendy wrists helped to get the car off and the breather on. Bloody hard

[@neilhunt9010]

@@ylesone thankyou, first step will be finding it, regret driving in mud before I did this so much dirt in my eyes

[@chipoplouss]

I noticed that it has room for 6 breathers to be attached, did you just plug up the other holes because you only needed 4 out of the 6?

[@BillyGoatJim]

Yep they’re just plugged up with a couple of bolts

[@youBr4d]

Hey mate, any tips of getting the breather caps off. They don't seem to want to budge.

[@BillyGoatJim]

Yeah bud, screwdriver and lever them off, they end up bending and popping off

[@youBr4d]

@@BillyGoatJim cheers, I might need a bigger screwdriver.

[@АлексейЯнковский-р5ц]

👍👍👍

[@benng6521]

hi where did u find your 16mm house? i couldn’t find any in super cheap auto

[@BillyGoatJim]

Try Bunnings in the irrigation area. They have flexible pipe. Not the hard rigid stuff.

[@2be379]

What size r the clamp?

[@rajeevdwivedi8]

Dear music is very loud and your audio is low. When we listen you audio on high volume suddenly your music blasts the ear. Do check by yourself. Speak openly not murmuring sound. Thanks

[@BillyGoatJim]

Thanks
