Black sponge

[Lee77]

I keep finding small pieces of black sponge on the floor of the car and on the dash.. I think this is being blown out through the vents?.. Is this a common problem?.. Any way to fix it?

Also, is it possible to blow out some trapped dust from the battery gauge?

This is rotten foam, probably used somewhere under the dash.

I had this problem.

Part of the underbonnet soundproofing is breaking up (from being wet and/or oily) and is finding its way through the air vents.

I tore off the section that was decaying and will replace it when it moves further up my priority task list ! Just be careful as there are some earthing (?) connectors for the fibre bonnet attached to the backing sheet.

Ah, thanks, I'll take a look under the bonnet

Doesn't appear to be the foam on the bonnet. Must be the foam behind the dash that is persishing.. That's annoying
