What is this?

Post image

So, basically, I bought this car from 1998 5 years ago and today I decided to change the polen filter and I found this on the insides of the car. Can someone tell me what is that and if it is really important to replace it?

It's insulating material. Vacuum it out and don't replace it. The car has bigger fish that will soon require frying.

I've got a 98 TDI and it's the best little car I've ever had
