I finally tried it yesterday/today. I worked from 6pm and just closed an hour ago (7am )after I started getting this message repeatedly

I wanted to work for like 18 hours, but going offline and online to rest a few times in between.

So how long before things go back to factory setting and I can go back online

XGhost:
So I asked him if he had people with him already? He said yes.
They are all going to VI... he said yes.
Ok, meet me at so so so (the lay by at berger where cars can stop without harassment) because no be me go stop by the the roadside.

The guy Sha came, Full suit and tie. I ask am say how e wan do am. He said I'll drop them first then head to his own destination.

We come move o, this dude hadn't discussed how much with his passengers o. E say VI 2k, Del no gree, 1.5 Dem say MBA, me I just de fire de go fo express. Las Las they forced him to do 1k.

He was going to fidelity place on kofo but 1 passenger was going to Akin Adesola, the other 2 adéọlá Odeku.

In my head I was just doing the math, ordinarily we'd have passed bonny camp, instead we had to pass Osborne to adéọlá Odeku then kofo. Osborne now had traffic again. No be the whole 3k done almost finish so? It was so amusing

That Honda Civic too dey fragile.

Gentlelife50:
Lol, wetin make am fragile?

He couldn't solve my problem. I just wasted money. He even suggested that I leave the fan direct which many believe to be reason the car is consuming so much fuel ltft -21. I will need another experienced mechanic close to ogba so abule Egba

Dabadwela:
You no see hw most Honda Civic owners dey complain of cutting belt?

And no be all mechco sabi the car well and most of dem dey run frm am cos the car too fragile,any small wahala or wrong connections the car go dey misbehave. The car nor like abuse at all

sandammy:
I want to believe this is your own personal opinion ba?

Dabadwela:
Not mine o, dere is a thread wey all the Civic owners dey complain of belt cutting

sandammy:
It seems you're not ready to fix the fan running directly. I use the same car, also bought mine with fan connected directly.

Mine was so bad that the fans were not even using any separate relays, they connected a long wire from my ignition under the dashboard, drilled a hole to the bonnet passing through the air filter box and to the fans. The car will want to overheat on a sunny day with AC on because the fans are not spinning the way they ought to.

I took her to a rewire who redirected the fans to be using specified relays, 2 relays one for each fan though still connected directly and I realised that my fuel consumption increased. I never achieved optimal working temperature. The temperature bars should reach 9 when it's optimal, I can drive the car from Lagos to Ibadan with mad traffic and achieve just 5 bars of temperature gauge.

I've asked more than 5 rewires to help me return the fan to factory settings but all the excuse they gave was "we don't know the reason the fans were connected directly or it may later develope negative side effect" but I was adamant and never gave up until I told my part sellers in oyingbo about it.

He introduced a rewire to me, who did the conversion back to factory settings in less than 1 hour. All I did was buying a thermostat and one or 2 relays that were bad. Now my fans only spins at moderate speed when the engine needs cooling, and the speed increases when I put on the AC. My engine is always at the required working temperature and fuel consumption is great.
Sorry for the long epistle.
Attached was my temperature gauge from Ibadan to Lagos. Look at the time stamp on that picture. That was January.

haykay2005:
How was the fuel consumption before returning the fan to factory setting? With fan running directly, my temperature gauge will reach half or a little high up. Ready to return to factory setting but most rewire around don't want to take the risk Can I have your number pls

sandammy:
So the belt cutting is what qualifies the car as fragile? Have you asked them what they aren't doing right. Belt cutting usually happens when the adjuster and pulleys are not properly aligned.
The adjuster will not align properly when the adjuster bolt threading is worn out which is expected for a close to 20years old car and instead of renewing the threading so that the bolt holding the adjuster will be more firm some owners will Kuku remove the adjuster and abuse the belt routing which eventually will put too much pressure on the power steering pump. This abuse usually break the pump bolt and your engine must come down to remove the broken bolt.

You're correct concerning using wrong size of belt and routing too, but like me I have to do my research to understand some of the engineering of the car. Like the belt size and routing.
Kazeems are part of the major problems of car users with their shortcut advises which usually compound car problems.

XGhost:
One last throw of the dice

PuZZyNegro:
What does Bolt mean by this? Bolt basic price being higher than Bolt and Comfort category?
