under hood insulation - Toyota Yaris Forums

hhcchen · 08-02-2006, 10:56 PM

ok...
what's the deal with some yaris having a piece of black insulation under the hood while some others don't...

if someone can find a better picture with the hood insulation...

johnnyfive · 08-03-2006, 12:29 AM

may be neither here nore there, but my S sedan has one...dont know if it came with the sedan, or part of the S package, or cold weather pkg...just dont know ;)

it helps keep the paint from fading and blistering from the heat of the engine

Found out the hard way after removing it from my Beretta.
Paint on the hood went bad in less then a year and the clear coat started to peel off.

there might be different req't for different areas. It is also a fire-extinguishing blanket that covers the engine in the event of an under hood fire.

Yea, its weird.. our BMWs have it, both Nissan's do, my Ford doesn't and now neither does the Yaris.

My S doesn't have it however I will want to know if I need to look into that...let us know if someone finds out more.

the Beretta did it cause its a chevy and chevies in my experience have paint problems. and the little I4 doesn't get that hot I'm sure your had the 3.1, am I correct. and I want one so that the hood won't be so hot.

Chrysler was the one with bad paint probolems...... I would like to get one if I could. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Notice the air intake in the top pictured car!!!!

sroberts · 08-03-2006, 05:21 PM

I'm pretty sure it part of the cold weather package. Helps the engine get up to temp sooner.

It is not necessary.. I found a strip down yaris with no package on the dealer lot here in Wisconsin.

I apologize....My S does have it...hadn't noticed before, but I popped the hood to show someone today and saw it there.

Well then, I cannot think of any other reason why it would be on some and not on others. Living in several different colder climate cities, I have always installed insulation to help warm up the engine in the winter. I can't imagine that these little engines get hot enough to blister the paint and would need insulation for that. Why is it on some and not others I wonder
