E30 Zone

I read in the " E30 restoration bible " that a noisy rear diff could be attenuated by sticking roof insulation under the rear seats. Anyone tried this and did it work before I get stuck in and get all itchy from the glass wool?

Not something I've ever heard of on here...

Andyboy who wrote the book is on here though...

best ask andyboy!!

well a noisy dif could be fixed with a better dif?

but i bet you have thought of that.

why not just go to a scrap yard with an e30 and and use the sound deadening from that double up on that stuff?

i would not be putting any roof stuff in my car!

Roofing materials, as in what you use on your house, YES, the roofing sheets you get from B&Q is good stuff, you may need two layers but works a treat, you can alos use this in your doors or boot to stop any vibrations caused by bass.

I know you probably want info, not opinions, but surely it's better to fix the underlying problem?

I would have thought you are better off putting some Dynomat down rather than roof insulation. I reckon the fibreglass would would be evil

jess, the diff isnt meant to be noisey.

e30 restoration bible, never heard of it but I did find it
