Soundproofing screens and heat shields
When a vehicle comes into the workshop, ensure that soundproofing screens and heat
shields are present and properly fitted.
Failing this, it is absolutely essential to bring the vehicle into compliance.
After any work requiring the removal of soundproofing screens and heat shields, they must
without fail be put back into place, in accordance with the original fitment, and making sure
that they do not enter into contact with their surrounds.
After removal, only perfectly clean screens should be refitted.
Pay particular attention that inflammable products (oil, grease...) are never
used on the protective films of the screens and shields.
No solvents or paints are to be applied at all on either the inner or the outer faces
of soundproofing screens and heat shields.
Any soiled or damaged screen is to be replaced.
In the event of on-vehicle welding or the use of a sanding disk, provide efficient protection
to the screens and shields.
Overtightening of screen and shield attaching nuts and bolts may lead to damage.
Any work on fuel or oil systems requires the prior removal of all screens and
shields liable to be soiled during the operations.
When cleaning the vehicle, limit the jet pressure to 80 bars maximum, the tem-
perature to 80°C and keep the jet at least 80 mm away from all screens and
shields.
