first off.. no such thing as a mk7

secondly, your RS loom doesnt fit the encore loom, because encores were the lowest spec, they had sod all electrics fitted tot he interior, the RS likely had nearly the full options list


now whether a mk5 loom fits a mk6 dash setup its hard to say, why not just buy a mk6 interior loom?

or just add to your encore loom for the relevent wires, eg instrement cluster

no it will run/drive fine, but isn't that a bit rhetorical?
