Generally manufaturers will be a generic loom then use what they need off it, i think it just works out cheaper to build on loom instead of lots of different ones, depending on spec/extras ordered on the car.

not necessarily

had a customers mk4 SDi in our workshop recently, moaning the rear door speakers didnt work.

surprise surpise there were no speakers behind the grilles, being a budget spec model. however there was no loom for them either!

so not all looms are the same!


I don't think a semi will give the same results

only spare connectors that would be in that area would be mfa connector, or maybe cruise control. is it a gti without a mfa button, or do you see extra bits in the engine bay on the throttle body that could be for cruise control
