I wonder how many Volkswagens have caught fire because nobody would get to the wiring to disconnect the one that was shorting... :laugh:

well t5 uses a 60-2 wheel, not a 36-1, but typically people just bolt them to the end of the crank pulley, into the holes that the AC pulley would normally mount.

How about the cruise control connection on the back of the c900 speedo? I am not going back to a car without cruise.
