Alpha intake vent fix

[madmax]

I’ve seen many on here mention the snow injestion problem with the intake vents on the previous years cats. Many have asked if cat has fixed it. I noticed on my alpha these screws holding the vents in place for 19’. Hopefully this helps keep the gaps closed and prevent snow ingestion into the intranet tract.

I talked to country cat service department today. The guy said there is NO update for the 18 mountain cat intake gaps.
Only service updates are
Injector harness/routing update
Limiter strap bolt update
Jam nuts on driveshaft

snow fix

I see Country cat was offering an updated kit from the 19s to fix the 18s. It was like 79.00. I ask my dealer also if cat was going to update the 18s and got told NO. But there is a kit if you want to order it and pay for it. Or just get some silicone and plug that gap.

Snow injection problem

I took my sleds to the dealer yesterday and also found that Arctic Cat doesn’t offer a fix for this issue. The dealer ran my vin# in the system and it only came up with the other issues like the jam nut and wire harness and I think the limiter strap.:face-icon-small-fro

Yep, making it an update means admitting there's a problem, and in turn is going to cost them money! Why would they want to do that? That's the kind of service we are getting for a 15k sled purchase.
