Fitted my Apexi turbo timer at the weekend. Thankfully one of my friends chris is an AutoSparky so he did most of it. So far it has worked fine no issues what so ever with the alarm or immobiliser. Everything works as it should.

Nice looking bit of kit.

I removed both the front seats so we could get in about everything. The hardest part was dismantling the plastics around the handbrake to get at the sensor.

Product Description:
The A'PEX Auto Timer allows the vehicle to idle for a present amount of time after the ignition key has been removed. This prevents hot oil in the engine from "coking" (solidifying) in the lines or center section of the turbo. Proper cool down is essential for a healthy engine. The Auto Timer stand as a technological marvel. The pen shaped, compact size makes the Auto Timer on of the smallest turbo timers on the market. This allows a clean and stylish installation virtually anywhere inside the car. The unique multi angle joystick button allows easy navigation through the many feature menus. Upgraded in every way from the previous model, the new Auto Timer can automatically determine the necessary amount of idle time. A Manual Mode allows the user to preset desired idling times from 0 sec. - 10 minutes in 16 increments. By inputting O2 sensor voltage, the Timer can also display theoretical air fuel ratio. Since the Auto Timer uses the factory O2 sensor which is primarily designed for emissions, the readings may not be as accurate as racing air fuel ratio monitors, but readings are very close. The Timer can also display critical data such as O2 sensor voltage and Battery Voltage.

It locks with key and with the remote. Engine still runs.

There's an engine check light up so i'll check that tomorrow and post up what it is.

Right. The engine check light is caused by a split lambda wire(fooking speed bumps). However after testing the TT over 20+ times the only problem that i can see is that the ABS and red ! sometimes come on once the key has been removed. But there is absolutely no issues with locking etc. The code 18057 comes up when the key is removed and TT starts it's cycle. Once cleared the code does not return until the TT is in use again.

18057 - Data Bus Power Train missing Message From ABS Control Module

Can't really see this being a hassle as the abs is still working properly;)

Cheers Bill.

ABS works just fine after the car is restarted.;) I need better discs on the front, Bill?


I'm offshore at the moment so no more testing just now. The cell is due to my second lambda probe having the wires chewed up and not caused by the TT. I have tried driving with the TT off and unplugged and the cell still appears with only the lambda related codes.

Fingers crossed everything seems to be ok with the TT. Am i the first person to try the new Apexi TT on a VAG car, surely not eh?
