Just picked up an 07 TT manual over the weekend. I missedone thing on pre purchase. My sport chrono is not lighting up in the night.When I hit the sport button I can feel better throttle response and thesuspension get stiffer. I need to drive the car in the daytime and see if thesport chrono is even working. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>


I just love the car it’s a night and day difference comingfrom a base Carrera.<o></o>


Sorry for the beginner Turbo questions!!!<o></o>

 

Welcome!

You have to activate it for it to light up. Use the bottom left lever (steering wheel). Rotate through till you get chrono and play around with it (start, stop, reset).

 

If you are talking about the chrono clock, you control with the stalk and/or PCM settings. Look at your owner's manual. This is all covered in detail.

Cool, it lights up! Lol

I guess I need to read my manual, I still haven't played with the navigation. Guess in a turbo I don't have time to read and drive

 

That's the one thing to certainly do. Take and hour and sit in the car reading the manual and executing commands on the car. Most every procedural question is addressed.

 

Thanks for all the replies, I am picking up the manual tomorrow. The car also had a low battery so i was slow charging it last night. I had the battery checked at autozone and it came back good, just low.

Its strange the alternator did not charge it fully on the way back from the dealer like 20 miles.

No warranty so you always got to be a little worried. My other Carrera gave me no issues for the few years i had it, i can expect the same with this(I HOPE).

 

Even though the battery checks out OK it could still be on it's last legs. In my experience batteries are only good for about 5-7 years (usually 5) and the life is shorter in the car isn't use regularly or the battery is often left to discharge. On the positive side batteries are relatively cheap and easy to replace.

 

Chrono light gauge doesn't light up at night with the dash lights,you'd think it would, but what i do as it looks great lit up at night, is start the chromo & then stop it but don't reset it & it will stay lit that way every time you get in the car at night.

 

Amazing bit of info......always thought the bulb was just burned out. The damn thing is next to useless anyway for DD, but you gotta have it with the sport chrono, and too looks nice sitting in middle of dash.

 

Agree...I think it is useless. Every once in a while , I turn it on and start it to time a trip to the store or someone's house...just because it sits there doing nothing...and I have it It is pretty much a Dash Wart as many refer to it. Only lights up if you use it.....But you gotta have it to have the Sport Chrono package...

I have heard there is a turbo boost gauge available that fits into that hole perfectly with chrome rim and all, but I can imagine the problems trying to exchange it for the timer that's there.

 

Yep, because worrying about things always helps make a difference!
