Bonnet Lining

[Hanaldo]

Hey all,

So a few months ago I started my car up with a loose oil filler cap (the result of servicing your car after a few too many beverages ), and the lining on the underside of my bonnet is now soaked in oil. This means every time I close my bonnet, all my cooler piping and radiator etc. gets covered in oil. Ignoring the possibility that this is a fire risk, it is really fkn annoying having to clean all my polished parts every time I open the bonnet.

So what is my best option here? Should I remove the lining and try to degrease and wash it all out? Or am I better off removing it all together and ditching it?

[defari]

imo ditch it - head to the wreckers and find a second hand one..

Funny this. I called Nissan yesterday and was quotes $240 to replace that liner.

I wish I could get a custom one for much less :S

Grab second hand cheap as chips, Though i notice alot of people dont even have one.....

[Hadouken]

The second hand ones look like my one, dangly bits and spots where it's rubbing through and shit

only if you don't like the paint on your bonnet

Rubbish, it does nothing to the paint, its sound deadener not heat insulation. The engine bay paint is exactly the same as the bonnet paint and has no issues being an inch away from the turbine housing.

yeah get rid of it, once saw this insulation sitting in a carpark smouldering away, luckily the owner ripped it off his car before it set it alight

[Hanaldo]

I imagine it's much more likely that it was ripped out and then somebody attempted to set it alight after.
