Those wires look a bit vulnerable being exposed.
Yeah, I agree. I was very surprised when I first saw them like that. A bit of VW penny pinching, by not enclosing them in some conduit.
By the way, thanx for the compliment but T_T knows much more about the 'mechanicals' of cars than I do. I do know a fair bit about the Mk5 GTI though and I'm constantly learning more every day from people like the guys here. 
The good thing about this particular forum is we all share knowledge freely, and also listen to and respect others opinions, and accept that they may be different to our own opinion. That is why I like this place.
