V50 Soundproofing
Hi
Anyone know how to remove the large grey sound / heat proofing unit that covers most of the top of the engine on the V50 2.0D? Many thanks |

It lifts up at the front and slides towards you.
However, if you vehicle has a strut brace then this will need to be removed as the cover will not come past the oil filler cap. |

make sure the engine and hence plastic top is hot before you lift the front up and then pull it towards you to release the left rear pop stud . It's likely to crack if you try it cold .. The only engine you need to take the oil filler cap off is the D5 in the V50/S40/C30/C70 .. and you dont need to take the brace off any variant ...
