Absence of Sound Deadening under Bonnet Lid

Recommended Posts

After 500 miles in my new Yeti 1.2 TSI 110 SE I decided to open the bonnet for the first time and was very surprised to see

the complete absence of any sort of sound deadening material under the bonnet lid. There appears to be a very large round

space where this could be provided without problem but I wonder if this is yet another VAG cost cutting exercise like

the provision of only two boot nets instead of the four previously supplied. Is this material supplied on more expensive Yeti

models and if so can it be fitted retrospectively. ????

I believe Škoda don't fit engine/bonnet sound deadening on their petrol engines, only their agricultural diesels get it.

Regrettably the difference is as others have suggested is hardy noticeable. Having said that at least the underside of the bonnet

now looks finished and it may help later in the year with colder weather - can't do any harm I feel

I just bought a load of closed cell self adhesive foam and covered the underside of the bonnet on my Octy. Tbh though the difference is hardly noticeable.

I'm sure you will have checked that it's non-flam and that the adhesive is heat resistant ;)

Done the whole Bonnet with this. (underside obviously)

Then refitted the original felt.

 

My diesel seems very quiet anyway. (pardon)
