I can hear a difference with the engine cover on so thought give it a go, the alternative was to take the whole lot off because I could not find any where that sold the original foam.
As you can see from the pictures it's fallen apart.
I cleaned the engine cover until I knew there was no grease or residue left on it. The glue from the double sided tape was too difficult to remove but it was still quite sticky.
The product I used was a lot thicker than the original VW stuff. I made sure it was fire retardant before I bought it just incase.
Pretty easy to cut, but had to do a few sections opposed to one large area. It would have been easier to make a template but I proceeded to cut straight around the different areas. There was plenty left over, enough to do the job again or use it somewhere else. The biggest issue of doing it again would be taking the foam off, the adhesive was super strong, I was surprised at how well it stuck down.
Nearly finished, just a few small pieces to do, I'm not sure what difference it's going to make if any, on the upside, it didn't cost much and I can clean the engine bay now.
