Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1081160 Cool Down Timer Kit V2.0 is designed to protect your turbocharger from premature wear caused by hot engine shutdown. Turbochargers operate at extreme temperatures and rely on flowing oil for cooling and lubrication. When the engine is shut off immediately after towing, high-load driving, or hard acceleration, oil flow stops while the turbo is still hot—this can cause oil coking, bearing damage, and shortened turbo life.
The Cool Down Timer Kit V2.0 keeps the engine running after key-off, allowing the turbo to cool properly. The shutdown can be controlled by time (adjustable up to 5 minutes), EGT temperature (when used with a K-Type EGT probe), or manual shutdown for quick exits. The V2.0 design also works with most OEM vehicle security alarms and can help reduce DPF regeneration frequency on 2008+ vehicles by preventing hot shutdown conditions.
