insulating_sound deadening of engine lid

[stevo1980]

My engine lid lets alot of noise thru as the stuff packed into it has perished. What is the safest stuff to put into it to stop noise and heat coming in. I have kingspan and foil wrap everywhere else but wasnt sure about putting it in the lid, fire etc. Cheers Steve

Just chipping in on this one. I managed to get some combustion modified foam sheet (so it wont support fire) from a guy at the Tatton park VW show and trimmed it to fit in to the two spaces. It needed a bit of trimming to slip under the lip of the recess, but it wasn't difficult and its fixed tight so it wont come out without a fight.

It look good and deadens the sound. The Guys name is Tom and the number I have for him is 02170841174.
Hope this helps you guys.
