Quick question under the hood
Hi guys, just picked up a new to me 2016 v6. Only 9000km stored inside all its life. Noticed today that something had been chewing at a black foam type of covering just to the right of centre on top of the motor. Can or should I replace this black foam piece? Not sure if it's function, it about 2" wide and about 8" long. Your help would be greatly appreciated,
Will

Look like that?
I don't see any FOAM. I see the black insulation on the firewall...
10:1 you had a rodent chewing on it. They use the material to build their nests. I would try and
get it replaced if possible... It's insulation.

It's about 1.5" wide and about 8" long sitting directly ontop of the motor, I think it might just be some insulating foam for that line I described with the blue tape on it. Probably best to replace a through a bounce sheet under the hood when car is sitting in garage. Thanks for your help guys.
