Clio 182 cam belt side sound deadening loose

[leeflavell]

After spending some time this afternoon under the bonnet I've found that what seems to be a piece of sound deadening? Grey carpet material which was wedged down by the cam belt. The bottom of it seems connected but the top is loose, I have lifted the corner closest to the front and there seems to be a fixing holejust in front of the headlight . Does anyone know what part I need to fix it into place?

Remove it , have seen this wrap around the aux belt and take engine out.
As long as your wheel arch trim is in good condition with the flappy bit on it , you should not have any trouble.
If it's just a bit loose ask you local dealer for mushroom wheel arch trim clips they are what's used to secure it.

Is it possible to remove easily? I think one side is connected I was just going to cable tie the top piece until the end of month when I'm having all the belts done

I'm also now wondering if this is the cause for my whiring sound I've been having the past week

I wouldn't think it would cause your noise.
To remove it you will have to support engine and take off drivers side engine mount. Can be removed then.

Ask you local dealer for mushrooms.

Your a bit prolific tonight.

Is that what you did?

Removed mine when I found it saggy. You can't really see this easily. It had a large established wear mark on it from the pulley it was touching! It's only sound deadening if your other guards are good.

Cue loads of people checking......

Thanks think I'll just reattach it till I get the shop to take it out as I haven't really got the equipment to support the engine at mine

Would you say this looks right as to where it fits?
