You mean the exterior or interior? Exterior is always damp, it picks up water from wet roads and moisture from damp air. Bit like leaving a carpet outside during winter. On my old auto, I could physically rinse the bottom of it
Not a good idea, water + metal = you know what...

At the last MOT my V6 picked up an advisory for corrosion on the bottom of the bulkhead. Dread to look at it now!

Get it treated bud before you have to start having it welded!

Can't even drive it at the moment, and have no access underneath...

Likely it will already be screwed.
It's another common place where they go.

Probably... I'll take a look underneath when I next get a chance.

Have you tried looking at the bottom of the bulkhead from above the engine in a V6?

What difference does removing it make sound wise inside the car?
