TDI top engine cover noise insulation?

These things don’t make much difference. Going to take mine off the next time I’m there. To stop mice eating it.
Engine noise is best suppressed by a revised cam cover. That too is probably NLA so you would be looking for s breaker.

Do you have the revised cam cover part #? How does it differ from the original one?

I'm taking it off tomorrow, weather permitting. I'll get a picture.

This is what it looks like but I can't remember what the original was like. I just know this one is quieter.

to spot the new one vs old: it's different in that it is fixed with torx head bolts I think. The moulding toward the bottom (in the picture above) is different too from the original. The original doesn't have those 4 round raised bits.
