as with all hydralic pumps, there is a certain threshold before the pump is no longer good or efficient. i wonder, with the clutch hydralic pumps that are attached to the pedal, there is a primary clutch pump and a secondary clutch pump. How may pumps (as in how many time you depress the clutch pedal) is the pump good for before it is time to replace? Anyone ever measured? or is the info found on any specs that we can read from?

On the morning of 6th December 2009, i had drove in a Shell petrol station(Marsilling) to pump in some gas before going to the market. Was surprised to see all pumps occupied as normally it would be almost deserted(staying nearby so quite familiar). Initially i waited cos was fooling with my son in the car. But suddenly noticed after awhile that a car was parked in between the pumps. Still waited cos all the other pumps were occupied. I thought maybe the driver made a dash for payments or something. After about 5-10mins the driver came back to her car, walking as slowly as anybody would at the beach . I rolled down the window, said HI! & said could u pls move along as i need to pump too. She didn't even acknowledged or said sorry, then purposely start the car late & check mirror & s--t like that. So i gave a light tap horn.Then she looked at the rear mirror & gave that "WHAT" look. After that hell broke loose. I got out of the car, went to the front scream at her to get lost. Pump attendants came ask her to move along. End of story, opps not yet. there was also another car left in between pumps at the other end of the station . Both drivers of same race, not related but different gender. OMG...!!!! Why do we have these kind of idiots in S'pore???? I wouldn't mind if she had left her car to one side of the pumps but in-between?! Guys, this is not a complaint but this might be my first encounter of such behaviors in S'pore & anywhere else, have u encountered similar episodes or is it a norm for some people. Could you guys also comment on what you might have done if you were in my situation. Thanks & drive safe, be courteous.

Finally...the angst many of us feel has reached national level. http://motoring.asiaone.com/Motoring/News/...0214-49527.html The next question is: Will the garment(a.k.a SPC) do anything about it? [laugh] "Meanwhile, pump prices in the United States - the world's biggest fuel consumer - fell last week to the lowest level in almost four months, reflecting a decline in motor fuel demand." So now we all know who is controlling the petrol prices in SG...its not exxonmobile, not shell, not caltex...it is out dear MIW!

Any diesel-heads here can tell me where those OEM diesel pumps in the West/Central are located? Currently, I only know of 2 but they're both in the East/North-East. Willy Petroleum - Kallang Distripark Ah Huat - Defu Lane 7 And if anyone refers me to Eurovanclub, I'd already posted there but it was deleted because the information is only available in their forums open to registered members. Since I don't drive a Eurovan, registering (not free) will be pointless.

Hi, my friend whom is driving a matrix was quoted $350 to change the timing belt, water pumps, and other pumps.(he say you guys should know what pumps are supposed to be changed ) any idea if that price is good, or he is being charged a little too high. he wants to know which workshop offers lower price than $350.

A friend driving a Japanese make was telling me that V Power actually gives better mileage plus more power. I wonder whether does this apply on the Octavia. Based on the current oil prices, the difference between 95RON and V Power is approx $10 per full tank. Since the octavia min RON is 95, I have been pumping 95 since I got the car. Any octy owners here like to give any feedback on whether it does make a diff or not?
