Turbo Timers void factory warranty

[SVOGT]

....... per my dealer. Sucks, 'cuz if properly installed, it could save a turbo under warranty. (boom07)

[Super Mario]

Yeah, your dealer is a gay, like all dealers.

[unwrittenLaw]

Have you read the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act?

[cheapmiata1600]

So, are remote start alarms also a warranty-voiding item?

[GrandBelialKey]

thats complete bullshit. they probably just warranty as little as possible...
if there is ever a question then just dont let them see it.

FYI, remove all aftermarket parts before taking it in to the dealership, I suppose you already know that know. What I have learned is showing respect and being very civil went a long way with my local dealership. good luck!

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act

YES read this, print it out and bring it to the dealers when you go in. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

[crossbow]

And never ever go back to that dealer ever again.

[ForceFed]

Thats complete bullshit...Ask tehm how they are going to void your warranty and ask more specifically what they are going to void?

They cannot void the entire warranty as the turbo timer does not affect all systems.

My RX-7's factory manual recommends 30 sec idle time before shutting down to let the turbos cool

I have remote start alarm with 3 minute turbo timing feature(Not Activated). Go to another dealership if possible ;) I also had a dealer say they wouldn't touch my car if I altered it in any form. After painting the calipers I went in for the brake pads contacting rotors on turns issue and after they said the caliper warenty was voided they went ahead and fixed it.

I suppose they will say that the Cutting of wires under the dash will cause an LSD to fail..

As long as it's "installed correctly" there should be no issue.

[ChopstickHero]

my dealer never said anything about my turbo timer. i just turn it off, so that they don't wonder why the car is still running after they pull the key out of the ignition.

Don't forget the coolant line too. Its not just the oil's job alone anymore.
