Mass Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Hi all, Are Turbo timers a good idea or not? Link to comment
frenchy Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 My opinion from actually already asking this question is No. 1. You need an alarm that is going to arm after the turbo timer turns off as not all do. I believe only Clifford do and I wouldn't touch Clifford with a barg pole through personal experience 2. Would you really wana walk away from your car still running? 3. Depends on how hard you drive your car then stopping (Most have got used to waiting 1-2 mins for "warming down") Just my 2p's worth Link to comment
Growler Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 As other post. I have asked this question before and the main opinion is no. It'll save you money just to leave it runnung for a couple of mins after any hard driving. Plus I think some insurance companies actually frown on them as it leaves your engine running as you walk away. Link to comment
CustomDanIOC Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 << . Would you really wana walk away from your car still running? >> you cant actually drive the car away with the turbo timer i believe a bit like the clifford intelli start no key in ignition for a start i take it you sit in the car and warmn it up for a few mins b4 you drive off? so whats the harm in sittin there for a few mins when you arrive imho?
