Engine Bay Insulation - where can I order a replacement?

Google the part number.
It will bring it up.
I’ve gotta have that recall done to one of my 08 smarts and it is coming apart bad.
There is two part numbers.
One for the one in front of the engine between the engine and the chassis and one between the engine and the rear bumper area.
Mine needs both replaced.

The above part number apparently is for the lower “insulation”. I can see this drawing on the Mercedes page. I don’t find a replacement for the lid that covers the engine (the one with insulation on it). Perhaps that wasn’t part if this recall. It still seems like a fire hazard.

It’s called an engine cover and you can get it online via the parts site.(autobahn smart comes to mind)

Have you try, and contact these guys….

The recall only included the insulation at the rear of the car by the exhaust system.

I used that tape like is used for heating ductwork on that on mine.
Works great and can stand the heat.

If it were me, I’d cut a piece of dynamat to shape, and adhere iit to the under lid of cover. It will never
fall off.

Now this sounds like what I need. The insulation needs replacing not the lid (which they don’t have a replacement part for—it would have to come out of a used car. Not worth that. Just needs the insulation. Thanks!!

Hmm that would be cheaper then replacing the whole cover.
I do have some noise deadening material I wonder if it will work as good.(may just get that anyway as I’ve been looking to quiet down the engine noise a bit)

I don't recall my 451 even having any insulation when I had it.

I always wondered if some heat resistant Dynamat would be better than stuff they include. Maybe even doubled-up?

On the 453 it seems really thin and loose, just a few plastic nuts holding some razor thin semi-rigid material in place.

That has me curious as my 08 needs both replaced and I plan on getting the one under the recall done but the other I may do this.
I had some noise deadening material that I had got for another car and tried some over the top of the engine cover (flex pipe allows some exhaust noise out before the muffler) and it made a huge difference in noise levels(sounds like the muffler is actually working)
Doing it in place of the factory stuff may work better.
