The reason for the French translation is because in some places in Canada the gas station attendants fuel your vehicle, so if one if them is French they need to know which fuel to put in for you. That'd would be my best guess.

Okay Jeff I love your videos and I'm going to tell you why your power steering cap is backwards, The reasoning is for Lefty Tighty is when you're standing by the car your going to use your left hand to loosen the cap because of the position of the hood would be in the way if you want to use your right hand, when you go to tighten it your Left hand will be in the correct position with your thumb up top to tighten it to the left ...Engineers thought it would just be more convenient,...you had the answer right in your hand you were using your left hand for the whole process.......... I own my 1984 for 29 years now...........

I have known about the wiper switch since 85 when when I bought my 1st 84 C-4, Reminds me of the first time my girl friend, at the time, first drove my 84 automatic. I was taking my 68 c-3 427-4 speed and was to meet her at a Corvette club parade event. She was stopped at the end of the driveway when it stared to sprinkle. I got out and asked her what was wrong, she said where is the wiper switch???? I was still laughing when we got to the event....LOL

One "quirk" I've never cared for: unlike C5/C6's, with stock C4 shark fin wheels, you can't upgrade the front brakes because the calipers won't clear the stock wheels. You must go to an after market or ZR1 type wheel even though any 17" C4 front wheel is actually larger than base model C5/6 front wheels.

Your console door has something trapped underneath it. The right side of the door should go completely flush with the top of the console when fully open. A standard 12 oz can will fit in the holder if the door is fully open. Remove the top plate and you'll find out why you can't fully open the door.

OMG that wiper control! I thought the same thing, took apart the side of the car and replaced the washer pump motor... found a bunch of corrosion on the contacts too so I figured "yep, that's it". Get it installed (had to make a "tool" to get to the plastic nut inside) and still no go. Put a volt meter on it, got no power so I said "ah, bad switch". Took the door apart to get to the switch (real PITA) and broke the mounts on the center piece that the switch mounts to in the process. Got a new aftermarket replacement piece after trying unsuccessfully to repair the original with epoxy. Got the new switch... which came with the knob not installed on it (it was separate in the box). When I went to push it on it was such a tight fit I had to use channel locks... and as I'm squeezing this thing on I notice the whole thing depresses a bit when I do. That's when it hits me - you have to PRESS DOWN on the damn thing to activate it! I go back and run continuity on my old switch and sure enough there's nothing wrong with it! My car was in a state of not being drivable for a couple weeks waiting on parts, etc. all for NOTHING! All that work for no good reason - D'OH! I did learn a few things and while the side was apart waiting for the pump motor replacement I discovered the drain tube back in that area that let's the water that accumulates below the windshield drain out was all clogged up with about 6 inches of debri, twigs, dirt, etc. and I cleaned it out... so I guess it wasn't all a waste. 😜

I see a lot of comments about C4 Corvettes, mostly positive but now that you know you have at least a few Canadian followers, something for us Northerers ? Because of our winter and the liberal use of salt on our streets, most Corvette owners put their car away for the winter months. My C4 has never seen winter and because I can only drive in summer has a true 58000 miles ( certified). How about a video on some tips about how to prepare your car for storage ? Just a suggestion. Keep 'em comin' Jeff !

The reason the drink holders dont work is because drink cans got larger in diameter. The original were made from steel and would fit. The also had pull tabs that came completely off and people discarded them cause cut feet. birds trying to eat them. When the totally new aluminum cans came out they were wider but shorted. GM just didnt adapt to remain current. 1990 Corvette convertible White with red interior.

I think that jacking the car up with the pinch well is more common than you might think. My 82 Peugeot had that and the jack had a slot in the top to fit it. One other quirk the Peugeot had was the horn was a button on the end of the turn signal stock. Maybe the designer was German. All the German manufacturers freaked out when Americans started demanding cup holders so when they finally acquiesced they made them so flimsy they wouldn't hold anything. You don't drink a soda or coffee in the car while driving 150 mph on the autobahn. Plenty of ashtrays though.
