Opinions on Spark Plug Wire Routing?

[okspeedsix]

Everytime I look in the engine compartment and see the plug wires routed down and around the back of the engine, I think that the plug wires are living in a very unkind environment. All sorts of rough edges to rub on, heat from the turbo, oily, lots of other wires and sensors nearby. I think it would be better to bring them forward and over the top of the engine. Sure the length might be a bit longer, but the isolation and visual exposure might be worth it.

Any other opinions or experiences?

The'll be fine.

Mine come off of the plugs and behind the engine to turbo heatshield then up under the chargecooler and then across to the coil packs.

Silicone is extremely resistant to just about anything.

I used to run the wires on my old S4s over the top of the engine with no issue.
