front Heat shield on 360 GLT exhaust

Post by kelvingenders » 13 Feb 2012 11:19 am

Is the top material made of asbestos?. I'm looking at changing the vibration damper and noticed this material on top of the heat shield. Does anyone know?

Hi mate.
I don't know what it is made of, however i would have thought
asbestos would not be allowed nowdays.
Cheers Mark.

I was told to spray it with black heat shield paint....apparently it seals it (if it were to be asbestos)

I'm pretty sure asbestos was banned in UK in like '60-'70 sort of time
'88 360 +T LSD - sold
'87 760 TDI (D24TIC) - sold
'04 V40 D sport (F9Q, decat, Remapped, launch control)
'89 740 SE (b230ft, 12psi, V-cam, headwork, 'remapped', banded steels)
'86 340 DL 1.4
