Turbo Timer

[Scott S]

I think this is the most appropriate section to put this in...........

Are there any Turbo Timer wiring harnesses, that will fit the Clio's? Are there any direct fit Turbo Timers I can use?

Before anyone asks, I do know my Clio doesn't have a turbo, but I do have my reason for asking (it doesn't include sticking a turbo on my car).

Looks like I will have to join direct to the loom (starts earch for ignition wiring loom), thanks Danno.

lol at the ebay links and the turbo badge. I don't have a turbo badge on my turbo'd car, the Clio is definately not getting one.

I got used to having a turbo timer on on the Proton so want one on the Clio. They are handy for for cold mornings, when I want a warm car and can't be arsed to get the de-icer out.

It's easy...................
go out to car,
start it,
set heaters and de-misters etc,
take keys out (turbo timer keeps it going),
lock doors with key.

The windows are cleared and the car warmed while I take the Dogs for a walk. No chance of some scummy tw*t stealing the car (unlikely I know, especially as I don't live in Manchester, Nottingham etc) by smashing the window and taking the car away.

Will have it hidden under the dash and will have it set for 5-7mins as that 'shoud' be enough time.

A turbo timer is well cheap (£15-£30 for a used one), alarm is a lot more. I think I am giving the Clio to my lass in April, so I don't want to spend much more of my money on it.

 

[DannoTheGreat]

yeah fair enough, 30 quid will get you a tidy 2nd hand hks timer

Scott the renault RAID sytem won't allow you to lock the car doors with the key fob whilst the ignition is on and engine running.

I mean put the key in the door and turn it. Would it be the same for that?

 

[T.Trophy]

Pretty sure, but I'll double check tomorrow.

Checked today mate and it only locks the passenger door.
