Car TalkRe: He Hit My Car & Claim He's A Stundent by kc007(op): 8:23pm On Sep 12, 2013
Siena: You had no business seizing his Blackberry. What would I do if I were in your shoes? I would inform my insurance company, and leave it to them. I take it your Audi A4 IS insured? It must be, it would be madness running a 2013 Audi A4 without insurance.
Is not 2013 model but 2001, though not insured.

@ ZIM DRILL, some of us here see the insurance u're talking about as something meant for peoople @ upper class. Economy hasn't been friendly either. You know how u sweat it out b/4 raising fund to acquire some these used cars, making the paper insurance licensing office give us the priority for sake of not to be disturbed by the police.
Car TalkHe Hit My Car & Claim He's A Stundent by kc007(op): 5:58am On Sep 12, 2013
This dude hit my audi a4 that's not up to 2months old as he approached a traffic where i was, with infinity jeep QX45 claiming the vehicle has faulty braky, no scratch b/4 the incident. The bumper was pushed 4ward by maybe an inch, the boot was forced open, condeming the panel where the lock is & denting the boot cover. He claimed he's a student, that the vehicle belongs to his neighbour & there's no kobo in his pocket, meaning i'll bear the cost in addition of pains of seeing my car damaged. At 1st I seized his BB but gave it to him after he wanted to tell me story of his life. Please if u're in my shoes, how would u feel & what would u've done?

Why is minister of health - Prof Onyebuchi Chukwu's name missing there? He has caused serious disharmony among health professionals in the sector.
Car TalkRe: Explaining Catalysts And Catalyst Codes by kc007(m): 5:14pm On Sep 09, 2013
nissparts: KC007, you may need to have the catalyst checked for deterioration or damage.
For some audis though, if you change the cat, you may need to reprogram the ecm before the light will go off permanently.
Thanks for your response. Do you have idea of the cost of the cat & where it can be sourced if it happens to be bad?
Car TalkRe: Explaining Catalysts And Catalyst Codes by kc007(m): 3:59pm On Sep 08, 2013
Hi Nissipart, i want to share my exprience as it concerns catalyst. My Audi A4 2001 mod, 1.8T engine, check engine light shows steady with ignition on. On scan a code about catalyst came up as follows; catalyst system: Bank 1 efficiency below threshold P0420 (16804).
Pls what's ur opion about that & a way to get it solved. Thank u.

Thank u Mr Siena for a quick response. I'l go check them out.
Car TalkRe: The Audi And Volkswagen Issues Resolution Thread by kc007(m): 5:07pm On Sep 06, 2013
Make: Audi
Model: A4 quattro
Engine: 1.8T
Year model: 2001
Spec: Europe
Transmission: Auto
Drive configuration: AWD
The check engine light was always on if the ignation is on, so i took it for scan & the following codes came up;
1. Catalyst system: Bank 1 efficiency below threshold P0420 (16804).
2. Brake boost vacuum system: mechanical failure P1479 - intermittent (17887).
3. Secondary air injection system: incorrect flow. Detected P0411 - static. No indication on display (16795).
4. Charge pressure control: negative deviation. P1556 - intermittent.
After this 1st scan the check engine light cleared because a kind of resetting was done, but the light showed up again after about 2weeks. There's no obvious problem being noticed though. I'm not sure about fuel consumtion rate yet as i've just used the car for about 1 month & display doesn't show in MPG, but distance to cover b/4 the tank empties.
Please, Sienna & other gurus i need help as to implication of those codes & ways to rectify them b/4 it becomes worse. Some 1 has suggested flushing & decarbonization of injector system, if there's anything like that anyway, to tackle #3 code.
Please Siena i'm awaiting ur kind response.
Thank u.
HealthRe: Health Workers Call Off Strike by kc007(m): 12:47pm On Aug 29, 2013
Oduduwaboy: Nooooooooo.....! They should not return to work o. Let them keep agitating for things that don't belong to them.

The health sector in Nigeria will know no peace until the concerned unions recognise the natural rights of doctors to head the sector ....the arguments for this are many and logical.
If u think u people can run the hospitals alone, why where u not working during the strike period? Greedy & selfish people without respect!
HealthRe: Health Workers Call Off Strike by kc007(m): 12:42pm On Aug 29, 2013
dapachez: What is this one saying? Do you know the reasons for the strike? Get your facts right before coming on social media to display whatever it is you have done here.who said that health workers want to head the health sector(they don't have the balls to make such demands) they have some entitlements that needs to be sorted out and also the issue of the scrapping of level 10 that was resolved by the industrial court but has not been implemented amongst many other issues. Do you think doctors can run the hospitals alone?
If he thinks that doctors can run the hospitals alone, why were they not working during the strike period? Greedy people!!

Car TalkRe: You Will Not Know A Salvage Car When You See One. by kc007(m): 1:54pm On Aug 14, 2013
BizBooks: In the past one month, I have done VIN checks for several people here on NL. Apart from the
fact that the reports indicate salvage or other serious mechanical problem in almost all
cases, they all had one other thing in common and that is: each person expressed shock at
the result. They tell me that the car was spotless when they inspected it. They also say
nobody can tell the car has been involved in accident. Well, that is the point.

You are not supposed to know that a car has been involved in an accident after it has been
repaired. Mechanics here in the US and even in Nigeria have perfected the art of turning a
salvage car into a sparkling, beautiful ride. As I have said in the past, salvage cars have
become a fact of life in Nigeria. So don't be shocked when you run a VIN check and discover
the car you are about to buy is salvage. 90% of tokunbo cars brought into Nigeria are salvage.
Some people may dispute this figure but I believe it to be very close to the truth.

Shipping salvage cars is the only way some car dealers can make a profit. So nothing will
make them change. All in all, some salvage tokunbo cars are better than brand new cars
used in Nigeria. So buying a salvage car is not too bad if you know what you are doing.

P.S: If you definitely do not want a salvage car, there are car dealers here on Nairaland
that can get you a truly clean car at an affordable price. Those dealers include myself,
Inspired, Fhemmmy, Viperman, Dantitiki etc.

A player that entered a football academy @ the age of 10yrs can't cheat about age in future career. It'l be on record he was 10 @ the time he joined the acad, from there his future dealings will be public.

Car TalkVw Golf 3 Issues by kc007(op): 2:16pm On Apr 18, 2013
my vw golf 3 behaves funny, it had problem with temperature switch which i think also controls firing. All efforts to replace it failed, each 1 u bring will either be smooth on firing & do not show temperature signal or the reverse. It has since been disconnected partilly allowing it work on temperature metre,it doesn't jerk again but i think it consumes fuel @ high rate,thou moves smoothly. 2ndly if u travel an hr to 2hrs distance,off the engine it wouldn't start immediately,doesn't turn engine @ dt moment, but start after cooling for 30mins to 1hr. Pls any idea to help?
