jazz1 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 ok basically i had my alarm fitted some maybe remeber a while back the lights stopped working so i took the car back and the guy started saying the switch is gone, but after further examination it was a fuse that went. Now owning the car for 7 years not once has the fuse gone but after fitting the alarm the lights stopped working hence the fuse blowing. So that was all sorted, anyways they fitted a turbo timer relay so that when i start the car by remote start and turn it off the car stays on, also leaving it alarmed. Now all of a sudden i start the car by remote start and when i go to turn the car off by remote, the car dont stay on but the timer counts down. So today i took the car to them and they said your turbo timer is gone, the relays inside are probably gone, so i asked the guy why has it gone is it due to the alarm and he said no. Now i personally think it would be the alarm that has stopped it or blown it so im not sure, anyways im going to take it to a proffesional garage and if it is gone to the alarm im going back to the guys to moan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I would just take the Turbo timer out, they are a waste of time and never work well with alarm systems, they void insurance as well if you leave the car running unattended I remember reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 well its on my car from when i got it and i believ turbo timers are good for cooling down the turbo, what do you guys think could it stopped working down to the alarm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Turbo timers won't work with Clifford CAT 1 alarms. Thats what Sextons in Reading told me anyhow, hence I removed mine. As Tooquicktostop says though they are a waste of money. Just run the car carefully at the end of each journey instead of leaving it idling for a while.

jazz1 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 so if i was to remove it seeing as i have the turbo timer relay fitted by the alarm place, would it affect the alarm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 95 T88 Supra Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 You can also get an alarm which is TT compatiable. I am not sure what brand it was that works great on turbo cars with turbo timer. I know for a fact Autopage doesn't work well with turbo timer since i had it on my Sti. Turbo timer went crazy so i never used it and i was using the remote start as my tt. Hope this info help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 question is my clifford has the function i have the turbo timer relay fitted so that when my car stays on i can still alarm it and it will turn off and alarm by itself. But now the damn turbo timer counts down but the car dont stay on like it did so im thinking its the alarm thats caused it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
