C4s engine out

24 Bolts sounds like head studs, and that means a top end rebiuild is being done not just a few leaks being sorted on a reseal. If thats the case then I would get the cases split and the bottom end checked out and replace the timing chains with the proper one piece items.

Sound proofing in the engine bay ? Mine has hardened over the years and is on my list should I drop the engine. I bought the tidy strip which improved the appearance.

Yes absolutely, I think the 52C summer heat of Q8 and the engine bay heat has been the cause of the problem. The car was always in the shade in my drive at home. Hence I fitted the "tidy strip" which improved things enormously :D as I said if the engine ever comes out then the sound proofing will be replaced.
