Type2 bay Foam Engine Bay Seal for T2 Bay 8.71 - 5.79, OEM partnr. 411813225
Essential for prolonging the life of all T2 engines.
Ensures that hot air cannot rise from the exhaust and
cause the engine to run hot.
Fits all Volkswagen T2 Bays from 8.71 to 7.79.
When fitting, ensure that the smooth side of the seal
is uppermost; that the joint is not near the cooling fan.
The engine compartment in an air-cooled VW is designed as a closed system
which keeps air flowing over those parts of the engine which get hot.
As these engines run quite close to their temperature limit anyway,
there is very little room for manoeuvre.
This seal not only keeps out road dirt from the engine, but prevents
hot exhaust air being sucked into the engine compartment which
reduces the air-cooling effect.
When this happens, the unit runs hotter, increasing wear and reducing engine life.
Don’t skimp on this important item – regularly check the condition of your
seal, as they break up as they become old and allow hot air to rise.
