Hi everyone

I own an 05 1.4 TDI which I purchased recently. I'm aware they're really noisy til they warm up I'm just considering soundproofing it?

Has anyone else done this?

The 1.4 TDIs are noisy. Mine was much the same

The polo is already fairly well soundproofed. The diesel has a thicker firewall insulation layer, and a bonnet noise absorber and undertray already

Short of taking all the interior out and sticking dynamat all over the floor which wont make a huge difference to engine noise, you might have to just get used to it.

Re under BONNET sound proofing. I've got a roll of thick felt designed for under bonnet use, which i'll cut to shape. Was wondering if anyone can recommend a brush-on long-life heat-proof adhesive that will allow removal or re-positioning of the felt (if necessary) before setting.
