I dunno guys, my car doesn't have any quirks. Other than a manual glowplug setup, and a solid shimmed governor.. Its a completely normal acting 84 Jetta. In every aspect.

Well except that I have a lot of things switched.. The gp's, the stereo, I can turn the amp and subs off if I want to sit for hours and listen to tunes, rad fan is switched, and a 3 plug cigarette lighter under the dash is a switched power too.

But those aren't quirks or quorks, those are modifications I have done to suit me, not necessarily because the original wiring was broken either... Lol

i am a fan of manual plugs..

the stereo, i have it so you have to turn it on with a switch, instead of the key. i just used one of the blank spots beside the stereo/hvac and put a rocker switch in one of the holes.. and i have had my sub amp on a switch before also, and honestly, i need to do it again.. batteries start to get weak after an hour or so..

the fan, i dont mind a manual switch, ALONG with the automatic switch on the radiator.. i had it full manual on my old rabbit, and it worked good, until you forgot to turn it on!

i also have a 3 gang cig lighter, but its inside my glove box, hidden away from view, and all the excess cord from my accessories also hides in there..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

My headlights make my fuel mileage seem better till I turn them off :)   quite impossible.. the headlights put load on the alternator, and load on the engine.

Seem is the operative word..   ;D  My fuel gauges goes up a bar, temp gauge goes down a bar with the lights on...
