after all the commotion, Dipo brings out a scanner to scan Uncles car... 1min later... dipo: sir it's a P0420 Uncle: 420 bawo? Dipo: a catalytic converter related issue.. Dipo then points to the exhaust manifold, and trys to explain further.... Uncle cuts in... Indomie no' ni! Kamaru removed it in 2015! Uncle: Indomie was blocked and the engine did not faya well.. So as Kamaru removed it, engine was firing well. Dipo: sir that is the reason the light came up... Uncle places a call... hello hello ore me Ema send won mo o! Ehn ehn we will sor it out ehn ehn. uncle drops the phone: Dipo so what about my engine that has become a shower, every where leaking from different points? Dipo: explains that it is prolonged use of tap water that caused a degradation on the aluminum passages, and a faulty radiator unit. Uncle: dipo 5 years yes 5.. My water did not go down, and in 5mins after leaving your workshop my vehicle became a cry baby. Well it is late and I don't have any more money for a radiator today, and the catalyst is still pending. Dipo places a call to Macavele: Baba, please do you have that your old radiator you replaced because you were doing preventive work? Macavele replies yes. Please can I have it, there's a small situation in the workshop. Macavele says no problem, but you will pay the okada man o! Dipo says no problem. Dipo: sir in the interim, I will install a functional used radiator so the leaks stop. uncle: oshe! Badest, at the end of the month I will replace it. Sultaan the okada rider arrives in 15mins with the radiator, dipo pays N500 and asks for change, sultaan replies Oga dipo, "Change I no de" Uncle: ahh dipo, that radiator is looking like the tokumbor I bought 5years ago, very sharp no ni! Dipo is at this point thinking of his N500 and manages to give a smile. dipo: sir you will need to buy coolant again sir. Uncle: Don't worry put, end of the month I will pay in Uncles mind "sense wee not kee mi" 6 Likes |

They get into the reception, it is cool and comfortable, they are greeted by the receptionist Nanaf. All of a sudden nwanneni comes charging in, he shouts at the top of his voice Nana!! You did not put a full stop at the end of this sentence! See the invoice! Now you made me buy a new mercerdes from Germany. Nana de-escalates the situation, and explains to the client that it was a typo, but he would get a free service to celebrate his new ride. nwanneni smiles, he is told to fill out a form while the next client in line johnabraham is attended to. As this was happening a really cool looking bike rider egunmogaji steps in asking to see the manager, he is asked to also wait in line while Uncle and nephew were attended to next. 5 Likes |

There's a little traffic at the first toll gate, and Uncle notices the temp a little above the half mark...... They pass first toll gate and the gauge goes back to mid point as there is no traffic, Uncle tells nephew seems we might need to tap one of those fans o! They all laugh about it and fire on. getting to the 2nd toll gate, there is a sudden spike in temp and Uncle has to park. They open the bonnet and there is a leak from the radiator, but they are not sure where it's coming from. they look to the right and there's a yellow building, Uncle remembers that is Aunty radautoworks place, Uncle and nephew push the car into the parking lot and walk into the reception. 3 Likes |

Let's Fire on then. As they were waiting for mayor to come back, thebigkendo drives close to where they are, he drives a honda accord 2006 model 4 Cylinder, his car was overheating too, he opens the bonnet, notices, 1 of his fans was not spinning, he comes to where Uncle and nephew are standing by their vehicle, and asks if he can borrow one of the spanners left behind by mayor, Uncle says well, they are not mine, just be quick with it before the Mech gets back. Uncle watches from a distance as thebigkendo taps the Base of his fan with a spanner and Fan comes back to life. Uncle is inquisitive and asks him what just happened, he explains that the fan has been faulty for weeks now, but no time to take thecar to a workshop, so when ever the fan fails his rewire Dovehorizon told him to just tap the back of the fan and it will continue work again. Thebigkendo thanks Uncle gets into his car with Entparrot getting impatient in the passenger seat. Mayor is back. 4 Likes |

there are no tools in the car so Uncle calls computerglobal and asks if there is any Mech around that can help with the leak. Computerglobal is gone for 5mins and shows up with mayor2013.... Mayor goes to work immediately, collects N500 from Uncle, 200 for okada, and 300 for buying a new clip for the top radiator hose. he installs and tells Uncle to buy a bag of pure water so they can re-fill the radiator. Nephew protests, reminding Uncle that there is coolant in the system and it will be diluted and ineffective if done. Mayor says Oga we have coolant 2500 for 4liters Uncle says bring 1 gallon and gives him N200 for bike again.Uncle now turns to nephew and says, you see! That your friend dipo is a criminal, he has swindled me of my hard earned cash by selling coolant to me for 23,000 when I can buy it for 2500 on the road. I will deal with him. uncle places a call to his buddy in SARS DSP COSPLAY. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

phone is loaded, as Uncle is about to call dipo, dipo calls back, and apologises for the network inconsistencies, he is not done talking when Uncle fires back! Oga the light is on o! I did not even leave lekki when it came on, what do we do? Dipo pauses for a minute, then explains to Uncle that he will have to re-scan vehicle to understand what triggered the malfunction lamp. Dipo asks Uncle to please come back for a re-scan. traffic changed from mild to total stand still at the tail end of 3rd mainland, and Uncle is hungry, nephew is hungry too, they signal evilspirit to bring gala and eherbal to bring malt. As Uncle was washing down the Gala with the Malt, Readone35L summoned courage to explain to Uncle about a cars electronics, he explained the role of the engine computer and sensors, and said it might be something minor. Uncle just nods his head in agreement and says, "I hope your friend did not put fake parts" 15 Likes 2 Shares |

opomulero:Most technicians would tell you to leave the single cell radiator in there, return the Thermostat and wire the car back to factory setup. that's what he read in books and might have tried it a couple of times and it worked. These Days I am not in a hurry to tell client to return Vehicle to Factory specs unless the client is fully informed of the consequences of such actions. For the benefit of every one I have opened a thread here about this. https://www.nairaland.com/4656373/when-it-time-return-factory#69967948 |
