Topped and tailed it this evening. 

Engine bay - wasn’t too bad as was done just after Easter detail, so just a spruce up and dressing with Aerospace 303, a WoWo detailing brush and compressed air for getting into tight dusty nooks.  Forgot to take before pics. Here’s the after:









Boot -  was a bit of a state, bootliner had a big patch of dried on yoghurt where it fell out of a shopping bag and spilt.  Plus general detritus from work stuff.  Bootliner out and boot floor vacuumed with Metorvac Van n Blo, then Auto Finesse Dressle used on plastic trim and bootliner.

I'm surprised you don't have the extra engine cover thingy that VW skimped on
I never bothered but you are a lot more of a perfectionist than me judging by your detailing shed

I do, it's under my desk at work (picked up from TPS ages ago), just haven't got round to fitting it yet.

What bit? I'm not one for cleaning engine bays but have in the past years ago.

This bit (not my car):



Here's how to fit it and parts needed if interested.

It looks much better and covers up those hateful little sections that are a pita to clean.

Earlier MK7's had another small plastic cover just in front of the main cover. There was a theory they deleted it as it was prone to working loose and getting caught in the fans but I reckon it was just cost cutting.

So it's only for the 'non tractor' engines. I'll have to get it ordered next year then.
