Keep hot exhaust air out of your Volkswagen engine bay by sealing the body-to-tin gap, helping maintain proper cooling and reduce overheating risk.
Volkswagen engine compartment rear seal prevents hot air from the muffler and heat exchangers from re-entering the engine compartment. This reproduction-quality seal installs into the body C-groove above the muffler and along the side walls, where it mates to the engine cooling tin for a tight seal.
When the original seal is split, missing, or hardened, cooling air control suffers and engine temperatures can climb. Replacing it restores the factory-style barrier that keeps cooling air and exhaust heat where they belong.

Because Details Matter
Air-cooled cooling systems depend on sealing as much as they depend on fan speed. A correct rear engine compartment seal helps your Volkswagen run cooler, cleaner, and closer to how it was engineered.
