This is the main reason I'm too scared to go anywhere near the engine bay with my hosepipe.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Cheers for that.

When I cleaned my engine bay just after I got the car, I took off what I could to hose it, the rest I just used a damp cloth. It's all probably under a bonnet away from rain for a reason
