I was being facetious about the spray on. I got Gump a nice w123 pad
and installed that a few years ago. so far it is doing just fine.
There was some damage from excess B100 leaking from a return hose and a
bolt out of place, but other than that, I expect another 7 years on
the pad.

Up until the 300D, no MB diesels had hood pads. The inexpensive
alternative is to let it crumble and drive on. I know, this is
offensive
to purists.... but so is carpet pad and tinfoil. My preference is to
glue
on a new pad, but doing nothing may be better than spray on foam or
carpet
pad and tinfoil.
Besides it is kind of entertaining to hear the clatter and have people
tell
you your engine is about to come apart.

I think what I bought was junk. I am looking for an alternative to
the $ 50
pad + shipping + glue.
What would a 3/4" thick blue insulation board (like what's on my
garage
door) do?

Are people saying that a hood pad can not withstand oil fumes and
heat? Aren't those about the only two thing you can COUNT ON it being
exposed to?
I'd be really interested who you bought it from and/or who made it.

Don't remember for sure where I got it. Prolly The Benzbin.
I am the only pack rat around here, and I didn't do it.
My oil filler plug leaked a lot, so there were plenty fumes even
the pad
seemed dry. I just crumbled up.

Hans,
Do you have pack rats? they will chew the thing up and carry it
away to
make a nest, often in the engine compartment. My original pad
lasted more than
10 years, and it's replacement appears to be good for at least
the same. Oil
fumes will kill the pad so make sure your blowby is controlled.
