Turbo timer

Post by maxheadroom » Wed Feb 28, 2007 6:57 pm

Hi all, I have just got a Bongo; it’s in having a full service. It is yet to be registered but soon will be.
Can any one help? as my Bongo engine keeps running after I take the keys out? It goes on for just over a 60 seconds, a my mate tells me it’s the turbo timer, can I reduce the length of time it runs on.
Cheers Maxheadroom…

Mine starts at 1 minute and can be atered in 10 second intervals when it is turned on, but very rarely use it. Is there anything visible?

Mine is in the drivers footwell just to the right of the central housing, it has a red LED display on it.

I think you might have to look at resizing your avatar, it's a touch on the large side.

I thought they were illegal in this country - it certainly would be illegal to leave the vehicle with the engine still running.

The illegal part is leaving an unattended vehicle running on the public highway (Or so I believe), having and using the turbo timer is not a problem.
