Golf mk7 / Clubsport S Question.
« Last post by EB2019 on 14 April 2024, 08:37 »Hi
Does your Clubsport S come with under bonnet sound insulation?
Can't find a good picture in reviews on Evo, Autocar, Pistonheads or Topgear.
I 'm guessing if it was to protect the paint the Clubsport s would have it fitted?
They sag/shrink on the mk7/7.5 Golfs and aren't worth the £120, mine is doing the same and it bugs me every time I open the bonnet. Apparently the RS3 and TTRS doesn't come with the sound pad (different engine) but is the Clubsport S the same? It would make sense that the metal exposed to the engine heat will radiate heat away better than the sound proof pad and possibly a little more noise?
I took mine off yesterday and cleaned the engine bay however the upper part of the bonnet was very hot above the Turbo and just want to check VW thought it was ok enough to remove it on certain cars?
