[ I put down the Brown Bread over the whole rear deck for vibration. Then over that, a layer of Vcomp for noise. I also have an aftermarket rubber deck mat from ISP, all three built up perfectly to fit the lip at the rear of the deck. Noise control is 100% improved over bare metal, and heat transfer is barely noticable to the top side of the deck mat. I also put some left over deadener I had from McMaster on the underside of the engine lid between the metal and the OEM engine insulation. ] Thanx for the info..........makes sense to line all the underside facing the engine (besides the lid cover as the factory did).....good idea! It doesn't make alotta sense to me as to why the insulation material that I was referring to (on the vertical wall of the engine bay) is even there in the first place...my only conclusion was maybe to absorb noise....but gheesh....how little help can such original small pieces be???....really, on the other side of this vertical strip is the area where the tranny resides...no need to provide a heat barrier, right?? The only thing that keeps bugging me is: VW wouldn't have spent the extra cost to put it there if they didn't really have a need for it..........right?? I've just completely repainted the entire engine bay factory color...looks good without this insulation board.....so do I put something there now whilst I can easily get access.....for let it ride as is and hope it has no real purpose? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
