Dan Evans Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 its a greddy turbo timer, i think its to to withe the brain of the car for safety issues, il be getting a clifford alarm in january so il tell him to do it for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Ive got a HKS turbo timer. Lets me lock it no problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 i have the same timer bud and its anoying to say the least. i thought you could lock it and walk away but when the car does shut off it reopens the doors took me about 2 weeks before i noticed it too .is there any timers that let you close the doors?

ste91 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Can't you take out the fuse or whatever for the central locking and just lock it manually? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 kinda defeats having central locking then though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 If it's only you using the car why would you need to unlock the passenger side? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 nah the mrs tags along Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 well, if you get clifford alarm or an aftermarket one, you can use the central locking while the car is still running, that proberbly my best option Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 ive got an after market one bud and it still pops the door when its finished Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza_cl Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 i dont have a tt and havnt had any problems, just let it cool for 30seconds while you gather your crap inside the car job done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 just piece of mind i guess. and when you dont have one i found that i would just switch it off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 You could always bin the TT as they are a waste of time anyway!!Agreed I think they are over hyped and over rated aslong as you remember to let it cool down it will be fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul w Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 just piece of mind i guess. and when you dont have one i found that i would just switch it offThey are designed for RACE cars that get stupidly hot and are raced right to the last second unlike the average road car The biggest single waste of £100 (thats a lot of fuel to play with) most turbo owners do, i've had 6 turbo cars and not 1 of them has had or needed one, common sense is of far more use.For day to day driving IE not booting it right to your door there is actually NO need to let it run http://www.turbotechnics.com/docs/turbo/faq.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
