Repair was finished.

It pasts over 2 monthes since the accident was happened,so today I called the dealer up to ask when I can drive 164 again.They said,the repair was already finished,we've been waiting for your calling!.......I'm not a god,I can't know when the repair is finished until you call me up...Anyway I went to the dealer today.
According to their inspection,the main cause is failure of the electric line for cooling fan.By this caues,the cooling fan dtopped working and boiled coolant water brew up.
Anyway I'm happy I can take 164 again.
I checked car by myself then took 164.


After a while,I found some small failures.I must go to the dealer again....

Wrong angle of wipers.
Wipers are not reatacted completely.

Failure of display.

Check the under part.

Since last week the light bulb for rear number plate has burned out.The summer season is hard for 164,so I went to a dealer in order to change the bulb and to check the car's condition.I asked a maintainance man to see the bottom side of the car with him,and did it.Most parts are working in good condition,so I felt good.Then I asked him to chage several oils and to charge a gas for air-conditioner.

But after a while,I exerienced an unbelievable accident....Read next essay.
