Leaving in the SW with summer temps equal to the
Death Valley...the anticorrosion cosmoline inside the hood cavities were melting and streaking the front lights and the front eng interior. After installing the hood insulation it did stop the leakage, probably the cosmoline was sponged by the hood insulation.
QUOTE=Can_Car;16318697]Has anyone asked the question if BMW engineers deliberately left the hood insulation off the X1?
For example if the X1 engines were generating too much heat that needed to be dissipated then leaving this insulation out may be deliberate as a way to allow the hood to remove some of that heat - especially in hotter climates.
I'm just speculating but if it were me I would want to know the answer to that question before I installed this insulation.[/QUOTE]
