41 00... Installing Cavity Sealing (Not Expanded)

NOTE: Carry over schematic diagram to the relevant vehicle type.

The following repair represents replacement of a cavity acoustic baffle.

Before these work steps, prepare the new part so that it is ready to install (adapting, cutting to size, applying welding primer etc.).

Sand contact surface of cavity acoustic baffle (1) with coarse-grained sandpaper (grain 50-100).

Clean contact surface (1) with cleaning agent R2.

Apply a bead approx. 15 mm high of SEALANT D2 to contact surface (1).

If necessary apply sealant D2 somewhat thinner on each side, to prevent the sealant from running.
