Nice work. Its amazing the difference a couple of hrs effort can make to the engine bay with the right products.

Thanks chris. Making an effort in the engine bay is very rewarding. I’m going to do the same with the 3.2 V6 although less space to work! Thanks for commenting 👍

Awesome video. I prefer no plastic to let the engine shine

Thank you greg. Much appreciated! I do like to keep the cars as stock as possible. Hence why I have retained the plastic. However, I totally respect and admire those shiny engine bays with all the bolt on parts!

I just acquired a very rare ABT sports line TT Mk1 in Japan. It's in silver and needs a lot of work. Because there were only 11 ever made its worth the project. Enjoyed seeing you cleaning good advice.

That looks a lot better, I've done my plastic covers but will certainly venture further under the bonnet, thank you for this.

Thanks for your kind words! It was a very labour intensive job due to how bad it was!

Recently purchased a 2000 Audi Roadster and this is definitely something I will be doing, especially as I need the front bumper off to replace the radiator and fans. (noted you have a video on the bumper removal too which is very thorough). Keep up the great work

Thank you Andy. Makes me feel guilty about mine now. Time for a clean. My rocker cover was leaking, had it replaced but engine is oil stained so needs cleaning.

Never feel guilty! It’s just another job to undertake on our wonderful cars! Did you restore the rocker while it was off the car? Cleaning the engine bay took me a lot longer than I thought but it was well worth it!

No I didn't, but wish I had.

Good transformation! I noticed your bonnet doesn't have any lining, I see that a lot, I wonder if it's only early models like mine that have it? My engine bay isn't too bad on the upper levels - the gearbox and lower engine are coated in oil though as I have a very small leak that gets blasted all over the lower engine bay whenever I go for a drive! Really need to sort that! I use that meguiars stuff too, its fantastic isn't it. If you ever take the lights out you get a great opportunity to clean around that area, it's very difficult to get to otherwise.

Nice one Ben and thanks for your experiences working on yours! There does not seem to be any evidence of a lining ever being present on the bonnet. I did wonder though as there seems to be places to attach something. I do want to take a look at the lower engine bay. I did a bit of work on it when I changed the oil as I think you can get to that easier that way. Any idea where that leak of yours is coming from?
