E39 ABS pump heat shield - diy

[skinhead]

adaptation from moots diy. imprvment made by sticking a piece of brown box cut to size to the aluminum piece. it make the whole piece bendable and sturdier. i just use 1 pcs from the aluminum panel. it came with 3 panel overall. for improvement nx time i wud sandwich the brownbox between the aluminum panel. but for now my beta version works like a charm...:top:

wow ! nice diy work !!:top:
i have a question on this shield, wouldn't the heat be surrounded inside the abs module ? i gave it a few thoughts to diy but quit in the end assuming that the heat cannot dissipate away inside the coverage. any hints, maybe ?:wink:

black absorb heat, silver reflect heat. i suggest u have it a go and compare the temp outside the cover and the temp at the abs pump. if it fell the same , just throw everything away.

Depend on the type of material you use. I use heat shield made for under hood usage.
Also I dun cover everything. Only on the side that near the exhaust manifold. Its your personal choice & preference.

compared the temp yesterday. definitely reduce the temp surrounding the abs pump, even using el chepo aluminum piece for kitchenware use wic cost +-rm10
so wutcha waiting for??? diy la... cheap2....

Hi guys,
Interesting, creative innovation.haha. I'm contemplating whether or not is it worthwhile to cover the abs pump. What is the purpose really, I know it's to protect from the heat, but does it affect the car performance in any way, Surely i will if it does affect the performance. thanks.

Make a cover for ABS module will affect performance ? What kind of logic is that ?

Because the module not hot enought after u cover it, so can not full perform..:listen:

Are you sure what are you talking about ? Or you are just kidding ?

The shield is to protect the ABS module so can last longer. Nothing effect the performance

+1, the solder joint at the board of the ABS unit hv the tendency to crack due to heat, thus ABS malfunction. If the shield can reduce heat, ABS unit will last longer.
